Air is supposedly the best for ride quality.

Highly recommend the SoLow NSLs paired with the H&R anti roll bars.

He is a link to where I bought the timber I used for the frame. www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177

@@GS04WAL thanks, did you use the same for the slats?

It was different stuff but if I was doing it again I would go to Ikea and get the curved bed slats they use on their flat pack beds. I've heard that they are much more comfortable.

Hi Alison, this is the timber I used for the frame www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177

Try the volume button, its a wonderful invention.

Likewise, spent an hour pulling my hair out with it. In the end I had to flex it into place and get the missus to hold it while I fired the screws in quickly. In my youth, I used to fit £60 K&N kits to my Astra SXI that went on with no such issues. Sounds good though.

Did you get the Meyle top mounts? I have the H&R anti roll bars sat in the garage with a set of Powerflex bushes waiting to be fitted. Can't wait to see how they improve the handling further. I'll be doing a road test video over easter.

Had the meyle top mounts, drop links and power flex black bushes fitted. Looking at anti roll bars now. It's gonna love the lakes roads

@@Iain1107 Have the black series bushes effected the ride quality? Has it made the ride harsh? Your the first person I've come across that has fitted black series. Very curious to know what they are like.

@GS04WAL haven't had her out long enough to notice tbh, I'm on 275s so there's a bit of a scrub on full lock, but she looks the dogs danglers

I think my throttle response has improved slightly with it. HP seems to be the same after running it for a while now. The noise is a bit of a draw back, obviously you want something but its nothing like the K&N's I fitted to non turbo petrol engines when I was a kid.

I would get one, I’m pleased with mine. That said it’s not for everyone but then again they are welcome to get a lift in someone else’s van. One point I make in the video I would revise is the performance gain. I say there isn’t any but after 8-9 months I would say there is a slight improvement in throttle response.

@@GS04WAL Ive always had them in my cars and always done performance stuff to them but never even thought about it in the van, new intercooler the air filter and maybe some exhaust mods be great 👍🏽

@@Thevanlifegolfer Yeah I’m going to get an exhaust system at some point. Would love an intercooler as well but nobody does an upgraded one for the CXGB engine. I’d love stick Darkside Development’s GTB turbo upgrade on with a new set of injectors but would need a gearbox upgrade first. I continue to purchase lottery tickets.

You do have to slow down a bit more than normal for humps and stuff but I accept that making big changes to the spec of the van means I will inevitably have to change the way I drive. Its worth it to be able to go round corners much quicker. I’ve got the H&R anti roll bars in the garage waiting to be fitted so it’ll be on rails when those go on.

@GS04WAL thanks for the info.

I don't know I run 20s.

I don't know I run 20s.

Not for the rears, I get one when using full beam on the front but my headlight clusters came from Vanstyle not Transporter HQ

Definitely recommend these, I'm going to get the H&R anti roll bars fitted after Christmas and possibly some up rated bushing as well.

@@GS04WAL that’s great to know! Do they soak up rough ground ok? ARB’s are in my hit list but I’ll be happy to just resolve my current teeth shaking ride lol. I was more than happy with koni at first but somethings failed in them. looks good lower too!

@@davem4131 They are great, I'm running them 10mm off the bottom and they have bottom out a couple of times but I can drive around that. Depending on what stance you want I would consider the SOLOW LOW if you want to go lower than me. I also found that switching from a 275/40/20 tyre to a 275/35/40 improved the right quality on its own.

Ceramic snow foam so not a full blown ceramic coating. First time I've used it, seems to perform well. Usually use either a spray wax or spray sealent of some kind.

@@GS04WAL looks great mate. What brand is it. I had my T6.1 ceramic coated from new so would like to keep on top of the paint protection you see 👍🏼

@@Vwfan Its the offering from @juicydetails7254, theres a link in the video description.

@@GS04WAL thx buddy. I’ll put a link to your video on the T6 forum if ok where I’m a moderator. Love a bit of detailing me 😂

@Vwfan Nice one, would definitely recommend.

Mais moins amusant

@@GS04WAL chacun son style de travail, mais c'est bien 😀

Thanks, they are 20 inch Wolfrace Evoke's. I'm not sure if they make them anymore.

The rail is screwed in to the roof panel. The roof panel is 3mm ply not the factory panel. My rail lines up with the trim piece that separates the panel from the cabin headliner.

Cheers, more on the way once the budget allows.

It was hilarious. Saw him a few times playing with all the kids and being funny. Ingenious setup.

Yes it looks much better now.

Soppy?

The installation was carried by Crows Garage, Pogmoor, Barnsley.

On the front I set them 10mm off the bottom so 85mm on the front. The garage then matched the rears up.

@@GS04WAL thanks for this! Just ordered the NSLs and a set of rotiform dtms for my shuttle

Running a 275/35/20, no rubbing at all

They are the Vanstyle ones but they show a warning light when using full beam. If I was buying noew I would buy the Transporter HQ ones.

Would be interested to hear what they are like Darren.

I had the same thoughts about dealers fitting them and then charging silly money. I think the H&R anti roll bars are a must for me now, I would be interested the here how you get on with them. Also looking at Porsche Macan brakes.

@@GS04WAL I will let you know 👍🏻. The only issue is, I’m having both fitted at the same time so I won’t know how each perform individually. Mitch @ HQ said upgraded antiroll bars are the best improvement that can be made to a suspension set up, this convinced me to get it all done at the same time.

Changed from a 275/40/20 to a 275/35/20 before I fitted the NSLs. There was a noticeable improvement in ride quality just by switching tyre.

@@GS04WAL I am on 275/40r20 atm, I am going to try out 245/40r20, it is same diameter as your current ones, it should also help with turning and rolling resistance. I need to see that low 40s mpgLOL.

Cheers, wheels are Wolfrace Evokes, I don’t think they make them anymore. Video coming at the end of August on them. Had a few issues.

@@GS04WAL look forward to it

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I'm not going to worry about it. No sports exhaust on mine but its something I might do over the winter along with a re-map.

​@gregwalton14 How's the fuel economy doing, went from K&N to stock filter and noticeable difference on amount of trips to the pump !! Although do miss the slight noise and couple of horses I have lost 😅

@@gavinlehrle2390 I would say its the same really, haven't noticed an increase in fuel usage,

🙄

Nice work!

You would need a unit specifcly for the T6.1. I have a T6, as you can see.

Many thanks just didn't want anyone to make the mistake I did

Its Juicy Details Tar and Glue remover. Heres the link for it www.juicy-details.co.uk/product/tag-tar-and-glue-remover/

Oh well

Yeah been looking at split chargers, think that will be a job for the spring.

Nothing special, was just a lock down hobby really

It wasn’t designed as such, it sort of evolved inside the space that was left after the bed was finished. The mantra was to make the bed as comfortable as possible and then just use up whatever space was left.

Thanks, got a solar upgrade video in production at the moment. Stay tuned!!!

Thanks and welcome, I should have some more content in the next couple of weeks.

Its not fixed down. I take it out so I can still use the space for cargo if required. Its quite heavy so doesn't really shift around when driving. It would just need some angle brackets to fix it to the floor and sides if required.

Awesome, thank you!

Our pleasure!

Thanks for your kind comment.

Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to see more content like this.

Yeah they are really cool. I used a plastic trim tool and it popped out really easy. To install just pop the new one back in.

Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.
