this is my passat it is more or less as i got it, at the moment i have only done a bit of maintenance on it and fitted the stereo, and audiobahn subs. plans are to lower it as much as i can, it's a bit tricky. due to it's odd front srtuts, i can't find any compatible coilovers, it has a 60mm drop on at the mo and i'll see if i can pull enough out just by cutting springs and maybe changing tires. with polssibly looking at airide further down the line. here are some piks, they are from the trip my friends and i did to spain in the summer.    |

What engine is in it?  , it's only a 1.6, i am gonna just tidy it up and get it running for now as i get pretty good mpg out of it, altho i think if i get bored i may look for a tdi engine for it at some point as i have my play car and want this to be reliable.  |

very cool, in "that" green, called "ice-green" over here. A friend of me has the same , he actually does some motorsport with it  :  regarding the lowering : a coilover can be made (with parts from the Audi 80), best adress for you are the UK Passats ( www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/ ).... |

been getting info and i think i may look at getting some coilovers and frankensteining them with the existing front suspension, have seen someone that has done this so i know it is pos.
altho... any of you guys tried such a thing?
also is there any place that sells the coilover components separately?b

finally got some coilovers. and fitted the rear. quite straight forward but front will be tricky-er. sits bit better at the rear and can go on the deck if needs be, just looking for some time to sort front.  |

That's looking a lot better, Take it you are having to make the coilies for the front, could be a market there
