right if that was in a mag on a double page spread with aibt of scenery as an extreme rat look id say it would be sh1t h0t but there again its comin from someone who cut nova saloon springs in half with an angle ginder an smoked a fiesta doin 90 over skelmersdale becon lol
let the slatin begin...............
I run chopped springs on my Volvo lol. They aren't progressive and aren't to the extent where they don't remain captive when jacked up, so all good IMO.
Your Nova sounds sketchy? lol
I'd think that Golf looked t0ss even if it was like that in a mag feature TBH. I wonder if he's running some uber long studs on the front and has them backed with washers so it goes from extreme -ve camber to +ve with every half rotation of the wheel. lol
what we laughing at? the fags island sign or the seafood steak sign?

has it got any brake pipes on the rear?
I debate whether the damned thing even moves fast enough to require brakes. lol
Looks to have no flexi though! Although I see a dangerously shiny bleed nipple, does he not know this is not 'rat'? lol
Appears to be broken by his own design, epic fail lol
Monday
Passenger side axle broke at the point where the shaft meets the tranny. Convinced my mother to loan me $70 to purchase a new one because I needed it to go to h2oi. Advance overnighted me an axle.Tuesday
Axle comes in, and gets replaced. Start driving it around and the driver side snaps at the same place.
Wednesday
Go to Ben's house to pull an axle for free, but it gets stripped out since the car is a rust bucket. Grab the passenger just in case. Get home late and decide I can repair the axle the next day.
Thursday
Axle is turded and too old to be useful, so I convince my mother to loan me more money to pick up another axle from Bap Geon. Bap drove one from NN that day and got me the axle. Install and finish packing my stuff.
Friday
Left for the 150 mile drive at 2am so I wouldn’t cause traffic while driving at 45mph. Only issue is the alternator belt, which came and went and caused me to die twice. A sheriff jumped me once and some nice guy at a gas station helped me the second time. As I pull up the main strip I get pulled over by a SUV for no reason. He said "no mirrors", but my antique tags have different laws so he writes me a warning for "Failure to drive right of center" and I head toward the hotel. Arrived at Comfort Inn at 6am and fall asleep. Wake up later and general partying ensues. My friends and I notice a strong presence of police officers breaking up peoples meets more than usual (2 years ago for me, so idk). Continue to enjoy the night and fall asleep late.
Saturday
Friends car broke so the morning was spent tinkering. Went to the BBQ (shit band and overpriced food) and rolled out to go to the Jolly Rogers meet. Drove by the place at 3:30 on the way to pick up the Swagrabbit and it was already broken up by the OCfaggotss. I got the car anyways and drove it to the mk2 meet. Enjoy myself and drive down the strip (15~20mph tops) until Officer Hurrdurr pulls me over for tires sticking beyonf the fender. Writes me a ticket for "Driving unsafe vehicle on highway" and tells me I cannot drive the car tonight, but I was allowed to drive the car back to the hotel. He said if he tow it again that night he would tow it away. He also refused to jumpstart the car under the condition that his car has engine management. Just being a dick in general, so I pull to my hotel and break the oil pan upon entering the parking lot. Take some time for the air ride limbo and then head to Wal-Mart to get some JB weld putty, and just my luck Wal-Mart is closed. Proceed to look for anything that is open at 11pm. No luck. Go back to the parking lot and ask around, and sure enough, someone had some 2 part epoxy in their trunk. I pull my pan in the rain, clean it up and epoxy it shut. Put the pan back on and fall asleep. I STILL HAVE THE MAGLIGHT FROM WHOEVER LENT IT TO ME, PM ME PLEASE SO I CAN SEND IT BACK!!!! Fall asleep and await the show tomorrow.
Sunday
A friend bought me some oil and we filled the car up. Start driving for the show at 10:20 and get pulled over BY THE SAME OFFICER at 10:30. I didn’t notice, but my oil pan was broken again and leaking. He proceeds to call the fire department because he’s a fucking retard and thought it was gasoline after smelling it, touching it and even me stating that it was my oil pan. Fire dept shows up and they are pretty cool, just throw some fuzzy stuff down to collect the oil and start talking about their cars with me. Officer dicknut proceeds to write me a ticket for the exact same thing as yesterday and takes pictures of the car with his phone again (which I hope was a police phone for evidence, and not his personal phone) all the while giggling with his buddy in street clothes in the passenger seat of his cruiser. Tow truck shows up and I have to help him get it on the truck, he's just as chill as the fire dept. Officer Tard proceeds to give me back my license and rolls out leaving me on the side of the road with all my baggage. He never once told me WHY my car was unsafe. A friend picks me up at 1:30 and I roll to the show, depressed that my $400 car will now probably be crushed. He never told me where or how to pick it up, but since I don’t have any money I guess it doesn’t matter anyways. Enjoy the show for a bit and head back home to Chesapeake.
Hopefully someone will pick that thing up for $50 from the police auction (if they don’t crush it first) and take care of it. The camber was completely reversible with about 30min of work (a bolt as a spacer in the rear, and a three bolt set up in the front). The car really didn’t have any rust and would be a good car to restore. It will need an oil pan to drive it, but all in all not "unsafe" at all. Plus the car was tagged with antique plates, so it wasn’t illegal either.
As to driving the car, for the 150 mile trip to h2o I had the front at stock camber for the speeds that I was traveling (45~50mph). At h2o I had the crazy camber, but never once did the car exceed 25mph and it was only driven on the strip. People who think it was unsafe are retarded, just like the retards who thought I originally “took out the axle and dropped it” for the camber.
LOL @ his experiences. Damn yanks calling drive shafts axles too :/ I'll never be a fan of that. Must be the only loser to snap shafts without using power. lol
It's true about it losing oil too, so well spotted eagle eye. lol
All questions and more are answered in that post by the tarded owner :)
A nice happy ending too!

roters not brakes lol
Rotors are the discs you clown. Drums on the rear. Even those morons still say brake pipe too! lol

Think of all the fuss he caused, and it not illegal, well it is, but prove it lol

Tyres outside the arch, pretty sure it would fail a braking efficiency test too as it'd slip on the roller things, and if that's in germany he will be funked repeatedly sideways without lube by the TUV lol

L14MNP where did you get the quote from? I was looking for a build thread for it before and couldn't find one...
Call me Liam. lol Typed something like 'stupid camber mk1 Golf' into Google mate. No surprise to see it's a hot topic lol.
lol will do and link me... Have only seen those pics of it..
Found a thread all about it.. they are slagging it off to the hilt.
Ma word.

What a waste of ATS classics! If that's what they are lol
Here Ben, all I could find that seemed to be from the owner http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4581867&page=1
Just been reading that, 8pages of them slagging him and it off. Gets just like here/mig at the end as it goes from the car and h2o too chicks in plaid skirts...lol

Win. I'm only on page 3 lol
Shame. I hoped there'd be more scenesters on the forum so I could have a laugh! Some awesome put downs though!
'This load should have been swallowed' FLOL
I wanted more pics, i really wanna know what they did on the front, i know they've snapped drive shafts.. But with the extra width what shafts do they use? have they just fitting longer arms to push it out? Kid does sound like a utter **** tho. He's get it get crushed. Was a very clean mk1 to start with.
Funny p/s'es at the end too..
Is he not running camber shims on the front and only 3 wheel bolts?

m0ar. lol

Believe he said this, but called it a "3 bolt setup" as that almost sounds professional.
^ Aye dude, that's what I assumed. It threw me at first, but that's because I'm used to wheel studs not bolts lol. That would change when the wheel rotates though? lol
Of course it's pro! next thing you'll be agreeing it's unsafe. lol

Not sure how the golf is setup tbh, but it appears it works without, well i was gonna shonky wheels, but well... lol
Yeah, I don't know how they run either. Must rock similar to the rear stub axle setup on the front. Fcukin scenesters! lol

Would require some sort of mad CV's to run camber shims though, unless it's no wheel drive lol
My guess is it was munching CV's like Baxter does crisps. lol
No way were the 'builders' capable of cutting and shutting some shafts either, and surely standard length jobs would be pulled out of the 'box? Unless they're bolt on flanges. In which case it would explain how he was snapping them so easily lol. Assemble car in air whilst your BFF pushes in the wheels then lower down and listen to the drive shaft stretch to breaking point and CV's get joe mangled as the car 'settles' lol
well the hubs would be at the normal angle so it'd require a universal joint/cv etc from the hub to the wheel :confused: Only way I can think of doing it is extremely angled hubs. but that doesn't explain the 3 bolts, or how he switches it back without taking half the front end apart.
^ Aye nothing adds up. I forget that the hubs would be at the normal angle.Doh.
We're looking into this too much mate. If he can do that it must be p1ss simple on a mk1 Golf. If I get bored I may have a look for some images of hub setups on them lol.
It's witchcraft lol!
Here's his first post. lol
well, not new to vortex, but i am new to the MK1 community. i have been lurking for a couple months and thought maybe it was time to introduce myself.
i love how MK1 build threads are actually builds, not a "o hai, i bought some smoked e-codes, now i can whore out my ****ty car" thread.
i also have a nice build thread in store for everyone, but this will be my first.[...]
right now i am living and working in Japan until next summer, when i will return with about 10g to spend on a rabbit. i have big plans, things that have never been done EVER, and hopefully it will still look decently stock when finished. and yes, i will do every single thing myself, well excluding the fabrication of something that requires some CNC....
other then that, i am 20, love VWs and CRXs, and ****ing love cars in general.
No chance hes using shims as the rear is just loads of washers.
Shafts would need to be extended cause of how far out they are sitting..

Why is it unsafe?
All the controls work, doing 45mph, you could stick it in 1st and engine brake?
I really dont see the problem?
Its not like his daily drive?? Just a toy to take to shows?
Also, If it was in some gay german dub scene mag, everyone would love it! :thumb:

Erm, ridiculous bodge hub setup, it won't stop, and the fact it's pissing oil down the road.
Why is it unsafe?

Well, from what you just said, due to the fact it has roughly the same grip in good conditions as a normal car has in snow then :thumb: You gonna engine brake it gently when someone slams on in front of you?

Won't stop (appears to have no rear brake lines)
Won't steer
Barely any tyre in contact with the ground
Leaking oil
Rear springs hanging loose
Bolt bodged in to acheive rear camber
Cheap nasty bolts used in rear stub axle
Engine BREAK I think you mean, either that or ths shafts will (again) and then you can't stop with that method either.
I think that's enough reasons.
If it was in a Dub Scene mag my opinion would still be that it is totally retarded, but depending on the setting we wouldn't know if the tool was stupid enough to use it on th epublic highway.
Doc Brown keppin' it real. Useful positive camber mod FTW
