  1. How are the mounts..? Sold mine couldn't deal with vibrations.

    Yeah I can imagine people not liking the mounts too much to be honest as they do vibrate everything across the revs even at idle but not bad enough for me to put them stock again, and I wouldn't say they are too much either not an aggressive vibration more like a slightly worn wheel bearing vibration sort of...

  2. 205/50/16 7J ET40 that's what they are so no different to any of yours

    I've stiffened the dampers so the rears are now set at 28 clicks and fronts are set at 26 clicks it has helped slightly but again cornering at speeds it still scrapes on the rears

  3. Hi all

    It's definitely NOT the muflaps lol

    I'm sure it's hitting the inner rear lips now unless I've got some absolutely ruined shot to bits bushes and ARB etc then it shouldn't still be doing this especially if everyone runs the same sort of setups without this issue! It's not stupid low at all actually I think it's quite high considering its on coilovers.... It's getting to the point where i want to hit the inner lip flat against the inner arch to see if that helps!

  4. I had issues with the tyres hitting the arches in cornering and over bumps on the standard suspension when I fitted my rotas which are 7J 16" with 50mm side wall

    So I gave myself a kick up the chuff to stiffen it all up with meisterR coilovers...

    It looked awesome when I set it as low as it was BUT it was too low and scraped all over the place as in o couldn't even go round a corner without scrubbing the whole time! So I raised it by 25mm all round it sits a little higher than I want it too but thought it would cure this but NO with a single passenger in the car or hard cornering or bump it still scrapes and it's driving me mad! Anyone else run 7J wheels without any issues?

    It's starting to dishearten me a little to be honest!

  5. Hey all,

    I bought myself a black aerodeck vti a few months ago as a "daily" car but I've now decided to boost it and make it super amazing...

    Here she is in her standard form, bought it with only 93,000 miles and a few issues like airbag light on, cracked windscreen, dented drivers rear door (quite bad and looks man made), torn steering wheel, ripped and hanging door card material...

    I have sorted the airbag light but still have all the other issues which will be very easy to sort so I'm
    Not too fussed but sourcing a door in my particular black isn't easy and I'm still looking (It's NOT the Pirates black)

    I'm sure there are things I have missed out and I still need to take a few more pictures of bits that I have including the car with the new alloys on and once I've fitted the coilovers to it too...

    Think I'm going to my unit this Sunday to fit the suspension and clutch...

    The White slipstreams look great on the car!!!

  6. I'm not looking for stupid low at all it's just to stiffen the suspension up,

    I fitted some 16" slipstreams 7J and it scrapes the tyres going round corners, over bumps and with passenger in the rear on the stock suspension -.- brand new AD08R's too!!!!!

    I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get some meisters to be honest as I'm putting 400 bhp through it very shortly and nothing I'm using is cheap either sooooo I wouldn't use inferior anything on it....

  7. Hi all,

    Let me start off by saying I DONT want to use the MGZS setup!

    I've got an aerodeck vti MC2 id like to buy a full set of springs and dampers WHICH ARE A STRAIGHT FIT to my car as it is,

    I know I have the options of meister etc but I don't want to run coilovers yet

    I was looking at the koni springs and dampers but they are saying they don't have ones to suit my aerodeck as I sent them my registration, now I think that's due to them not know what others will fit like EG/EK/EJ/DC2 etc

    What would I need to order for that would fit? EG? EK? EJ? DC2? Etc I know I need folk fitment ones on the rear but I don't know which ones I can use....

    Thanks, Paul

  8. Hi all,

    I changed my clutch and flywheel yesterday, RPC stage 1 clutch and a competition lightweight flywheel, I haven't really given it any stick yet as it still needs bedding in....

    Old clutch and flywheel on the car

    Guess which is the new flywheel :)

    The clutch was ready to give way at any point...

    Now a job is new without any difficulties!

    I smashed my engine coolant temperature sensor with my breaker bar, a clutch bolt snapped, and the punch went through the centre of the gear linkage pin (bitch pin)
