yes saw the videos cars looking great!, shame about the boost problems. are you going for a full respray then or touch up?
your set up sounds interesting are you still runing FB struts then?

Mark

Just spraying the bumpers & 1 damaged wing.  Also getting all the black metal work round the windows done.  Oh, & the bonnet too cos its got a vent cut in it.

Seems I am on FB struts.

[mpk490p]

nice one the vent should help feed that turbo :yes

i would recormend the coilover kit i have just put on the car, been out for a couple of hours the car feels great and its not been set up properly yet:Thumbsup!
if you just want to go low the king spring super lows i had are the lowest you can go before going coilover

so just come back form the MOT, dont know why but i knew it would fail and it did!
i forgot to change my number plates but they passed (it is a friendly test station!) emissions were close and we re tested them to a pass co 4,500 limit 1,321 pass hc 1200 limit 1032 pass but it failed on the handbrake again!!!!
just ordered some new pads as they were low but still some meat left hopefully this should do the job carn\'t waiting to get the T11 calipers and discs on the rear and get rid of this problem once and for all!!
retest Friday and the current doesn\'t run out untill the 11th so im go for retro rides :Thumbsup!

so after some bad times along comes good times!!
just had a call from the guys sorting out my replacment top mounts and he said Noltec sent the whole set up instead of just the slide plates, he also said they are no longer producing these and becasue of the wait and the **** up he is sending them to me FOC i just need to cover postage £30

[mpk490p]

MOT done for another year, failed on the handbrake but i got 4 some second hand calipers and discs for £30 they were all in better nick than mine so it passed second time round, should have the T11 brakes done before the next one.
also just ordered a whiteline strut brace £70 all in! should turn up with my new camber plates next week :wink:
have also booked the track day at Rockingham in November so i need to sort the tow eye out and shrink a bit so i can get in with a skid lid on!!!

Mark

[mpk490p]
