  1. just read through your project bud (I'd only seen the first page somehow looks really smart - some nice mods
  2. cheers, aye, h-brsce is on the menu next I reckon, but after a head gasket change... still slightly oozing oil and it plays on my mind should be okay with the dc2 4-2-1 mani (hopefully)
  3. oddly think it's made it turn in better?? but also stiffened rear shocks a bit recently so that might have helped with that. put it this way, i chucked it around a 90 deg turn (1st exit off a roundabout) and it went round like it was on rails... couldn't beieve it also not sure how much difference not having boot liners and floor etc is making
  4. nice brace fella can't decide between new front strut brace or h-brace next... 2013... the year of the brace
  5. you're probs right about it making more difference to the deck because of there being a big empty space around the struts (when it's not full of gear anyway ). maybe it's because I've got the eibach springs why i feel so much difference, with them being pretty stiff, it seems natural that if the shocks / springs don't absorb (probably not the right word) the forces, then it'll transfer to the chassis and try and twist that ? can't wait to try it with the 17s on again when the weather warms up a bit
  6. I must admit, I did have to change my damper settings after fitting the arb
  7. dude, they're gonna look mint
  8. the arb does make a difference on the decks coz they don't have one as standard, but the strut brace seems to have more effect... i don't think that one without the other would have anywhere near as much impact
  9. aye, once you've stripped the interior panels (had mine out coz of mysterious boot leak) it's only 4 bolts to undo, slightly bend bar into place (seems a couple of degrees out), then tighten same bolts, and nip up the adjuster bolt on the bar. tis mint
  10. well, after a week of driving without snow, I'm massively impressed by the rear strut brace - it just tracks round corners so much better maybe made even more difference than the mg anti roll bar?
  11. she's coming on at a pace now fella - top work
  12. could it be the fuel cut off button in the driver footwell? on the left hand side of the centre console there's a little rubber button (quite hard to find) - i think it's a safety feature to cut the fuel if there's an accident? i'd need to double check (or maybe someone can confirm) but I think you just need to press it in to rest.
  13. tasty looking motor mucker
  14. cheers bud - think i'd miss mine too, but your eg's gonna be sweet in fact i still miss my old eg
  15. rocker cover sets the engine bay off a treat
  16. funny, i was looking at underboarding today (bored at work.....) that and aero splitters.
