I\'ve got a pair sat in a draw. If you like I can ask a mate of mine to copy them for you. Im sure he\'d be able to do it for a lot less than the above price.

If you could mate that\'d be brilliant! How soon would he be able to get them done?

TiddlesRX7 · November 06, 2011, 12:50:26 PM

Depending on how busy he is really (he works away a fair bit). He is normally in and out of his workshop most weekends though and some evenings. I\'ll get onto him and get back to you.

Right. I\'ve just given my mate my DTSS bushes to copy. Only quickly spoke to him as he was on his way to pick his wife up. He said he\'d make them up this week sometime and get back to me with a price. He did say it would be a lot less than you have been quoted maybe around the Â£50 mark depending on how long it takes him basically. When I know mare I\'ll get in touch.

Ok mate thanks for enquiring, I\'m definitely happy to go ahead with that! Maybe get aundre-3000 to order some too so he can get them all done at once to make it more cost/time effective?

Well I\'ve said to him that others would be interested so we\'ll see what happens. I\'m not a trader and don\'t pay to be one on here so I\'ve got to play by the rules. If loads of people ask about them then maybe I can sort something out off the forum. You seem to be struggling to find them so thought this might be the easiest way. The funny thing is I got mine free with my car when I bought it like 4 years ago!

Haha yeah I\'ve had some trouble tracking them down!

Another pic of the car from today in this morning\'s ridiculous fog:

Im really liking those wheels. Nice and different to the norm.

B.Martin · November 07, 2011, 06:46:01 AM

Definately looking good mate.

ali303 · November 10, 2011, 12:22:04 AM

Thanks guys

@TiddlesRX7 if you could keep us informed on those DTSS eliminators it\'d be much appreciated mate, I understand the guy\'s probably very busy but any news regarding progress would be great

Well, the car left my drive for the first time in God knows how long tonight...and went straight to the local Shell!

TiddlesRX7 · November 10, 2011, 08:21:03 AM

I\'ll give him a ring today mate.

I spoted those wheels as well, they look good fitted on the car I\'d also be interested in some DTSS bushes maybe worth moving it to a new thread under a group buy I don\'t think you have to be a trader to do a group buy.
Cheers

Update. The bushes should be made tomorrow. My mate hs been working away this week so hasn\'t been in the workshop. He is going in tomorrow though so said he\'ll do his best to make them up in the morning.

I\'ll let you know when they are done.

Thanks mate, looking forward to them! I\'ve got the money waiting so I\'ll send the payment whenever.

Well some bad news, went to get my new clutch fitted today...and turns out that I need the counter weight from an automatic Series 5 for the flywheel. Apparently this is common knowledge but with me being relatively inexperienced I completely overlooked the matter. Time to go hunting for one of those then...

On a brighter note I received my bolt-on spacers for the front so the front stance is a little better now, but not perfect.
