Were you & JayEmm separated at birth?
The 924 has to be a keeper... plus the supercharging project is well worth looking forward to! The Golf - don't know what you'll list that for, but someone will be getting a good deal given all the work that's gone into it. Great update Mikey - keep 'em coming!
What you need, is an early 90s panda, in red.
Sell a car at calvins car diary 🤝
Haha! If Calvin was interested, I'd be more than happy with a collab.
Hello mate - great video really informative, i've just picked one of these units up to fit to my '07 Defender 90. Just looking at the rear harness, under A5 it shows as Power Control(*) - any idea what this would be for pal?
Unfortunately, I don't have the manual anymore so I can't double-check it. So sorry I can't help you on this one, mate.
Looking forward to seeing the new chapter! Glad the 924 will be about for some more fun 👌
Me too! Thanks mate.
I’m interested in the FN2 but what price you looking for?
Hey! Thanks for the interest. I'm looking for £3000. I did a detailed video on it when I bought it, so feel free to have a look.
Look forward to the future of usually brokencars 👊🏻
You'll be there my man 💪

Nah, really starting to enjoy it
Not the rav4, I love that thing
Me too, just too many cars!
Glad the Porsche is staying Mikey., keep up the good work!
Thanks Rob! I'm glad too!
First set was perfect! I mean, who needs to turn the wheel, right? 😂😂😂 But I guess you’re right, the second set were more practical 😏
I mean the sumo was about 35mm off the floor, prime to get smashed
Shaking it up, Joys of being a car guy is being able to get in and out of loads of different cars

Oooo new project car sounds fun! Hopefully more successful than the Rav-4!
Shame, I really liked the rad4
@@usuallybrokencars it had big potential, maybe we should have done a camping trip video!
@@SamT89 there is still time mate
Porsche is looking great mate. Enjoyed driving the type r and the golf.
Always welcome my man
Love the bus! 🤩
Basu San is the one 😎
I do too, every time I drive it, I remember why we bought it!
Brilliant video, so much hard work goes into painting a car!
Thank you, I worked my nuts off on that video, the guys at Howard brothers were invaluable, and I have a new understanding for the amount of work required!
If I brought one of these, I would use tools till they break, then replace with Halfords Advance or Teng Tools as I go along. Reason being if you were to get foam inserts cut & a semi decent roll cab it would cost more than £500 in the first instance.
That's exactly what I have done, a few bits have been questionable, but I still feel for the money it definitely one of my best purchases!
You mean fappy paddles. The light swich im not shure you can trust yes it looks the same but its made with cheaper led's and connector so watch out it does not melt or worse burn down the car.
Well its been set to auto for a few months now and has been great, besides the amount of current going to that switch couldn't light a match let alone burn your car down!
🤣 absolutely slammed first time round. Looks lovely at that height mate, sits so much nicer. I've been trying to convince Carli the TF needs a bit of a lower since she got it!
Thanks mate, I think we should make this happen!
Do you still have the centre caps. Id like to claim them.
Unfortunately not, they were snapped up within a few moments of the video going live.
@@usuallybrokencars no worries
Great work, lads. love the channel. Keep it up
Thank you, kind words like these mean a huge amount when I'm sat editing video's to the early hours!
@usuallybrokencars I appreciate your effort. I've a 79 924. I'm learning plenty thanks to your awesome channel

It does!

I would not go near Carley again,App displays loads of features but very few works,Tried to get video in motion but never worked and there customer service keeps messing me about.To top it up they just take renewal subscription from you without any reminders or agreement.Forget to mention they increase subscription without even any notice to you.AVOID
Hi when your old pickup pipe was in did you have any boost loss?
No, just the warning light on.
@@usuallybrokencarsI also have no boost
Looks spot on at that height. It’s made such a great difference to how the whole car looks
@@omsimracing yes it do
Looks great!, so to recap, mk1 GTI shocks with stock springs? 👍
Yes sir 🫡. Just use the original porsche top mount. Everything else just bolts up a treat! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
how much lower is the rear now after turning the bold?
About 30mm
What a waster
Thank you for the support
Imagine going to all this effort to be nasty but in turn only successfully boosting someone’s engagement on YT and making them money. Very odd behaviour.
@@omsimracing amen 🙏
Looking good 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfect ride height 👌
Thanks ✌️
Nice subtle lowering job 👍
Thanks mate
Big channel one day 👍
Hope so! I appreciate the kind words
Nice- looks much better...
Really does change the stance of the car
you missed the best part, it will not print because the readers usb are not working so you can't download the upgrade. my laptop can't see the reader. make it work, hope you windowsdon't have the same problem

Yes it was!
nice video
Thanks, appreciate it

@@924oc no idea, but it can't be worse than it is lol
I bought 3 different sizes of centre caps to try and get the right size!
Typical lol
The car fire will be glorious!
we shall see
@@usuallybrokencars Given the lacking quality of the other parts, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING from TEMU to carry high voltage or amperage like a headlight switch. I don't think I'd even trust their bulbs.
Nice. Very fitting.
Glad you think so!
Buying mine on offer was the cheaper option to enable some settings the garage would charge me a fortune to do, otherwise, it's not really worth it if you don't really have a specific use case for the carly scanner due to the annual subscription fee.
agreed
Title should've been "Paying a mechanic to rice out my GTI with TEMU plastics" 😂
Haha no money was exchanged, more importantly I'm qualified lol
