Sky-on's growth to maturity...New Photoshoot on Pg 7!
hey thinking of gettign that powerslot kit next year when my stock brakes are near their lifes end......how was the install,bolt and go with the spacer or was there issues and modifacations........I dont mind modding stuff till it comes to safty stuff like brakes.
^^ Install wasn't too bad, bolts and everything fit properly, it comes with a bracket for the caliper. The only thing that Powerslot failed at is the brake pad sits a little higher then the rotor, so about 1/2 mm of pad won't touch the rotor. Also, you're going to need to bend the dust shield back a little bit so it doesn't touch the back of the rotor. Other then that, I'm really happy with the rotors. You probably won't see a big performance difference, but it sure does look good =]

My car has 1 finger gap, while Wes is at least negative 1 finger. Mad props.
btw what time of day was this photo taken? the lighting has me confused.
after seeing how low you are, I'd seriously watch out for slightly raised manholes. the s-pipe will gaurd the oil pan against raised surfaces going the width of the entire car, but manholes dont. its common for super low vw's to bust their pans.


the pics were taken after you and wes installed the rotors, so.. i think around 10. and i got kinda lazy to play with the white balance because it was so cold outside (socal cold means < 70) and it was on 20/25 sec exposures.

haha, thanks for all the help Won!
Yea, I've always thought about damaging the oil pan, but I figure if Ben (blktC) can roll as low as he does w/o damaging his oil pan, then I should be fine. I didn't even know I hit the S-pipe, I thought it was just the side skirts, lol. I don't think the oil pan hangs as low on tCs as it does on VWs. BMW E30s have had similar issues cracking oil pans due to their ride height. But I'll keep an eye out on the road just in case.

lol wes! i told you going lower is win! :D
and dude, i do scrape oil pan... you never asked me if i damaged it in any way.. i scraped once, and i swear, it was that BIGGEST SPEED BUMP in my life!!! like 3-4 inches tall and 1.5 feet wide.. but that was the only time..

FlintC: Yea, they are VRD Grills
Dodaddy: Thanks bro! I love your FM too =]
Ben: Lol, I assumed since you never really mentioned damaging it, that it was aright, lol. I know your S-pipe is all ____ed up, but if you only scraped the oil pan once, it can't be THAT bad, and a 4" speedbump is an epic fail.
Pete: You were my inspiration, and now I see the white light...lol, I've crossed over, and I'm never looking back! =D
