im think now to just replace with vti parts rear trailing arm is still fooked so need to sort that out probs gunna see if i can find one breaking and test my luck seee if 100 pounds gets me the full rear offside suspension and the damper/springs from the rest i think thats a fair price but then i would lol

its not the shocks im worried about its the only person on ebay that sells them has had some mixed reviews on here some people getting what they wanted first time some people getting completly wrong stuff and bad service and what not :/ but for the sake of 100 pounds think ill have to give them a go

Okay so small update change my oil and filter and pollen filter on Monday, would have done the spark plugs if they wernt 11.50 a plug in euro halfords don't even sell iridium plugs :/ Also I was Gunna hold out and go big with the meister coilies but last night some stupid person decided to sit in the middle of the road with no lights on and by the time I realised they were there and not moving it was way to late for me to stop, cars on the otherside of the road coming head on so up the curb I went about 30mph did not sound or feel good at all either way I've popped a shock or snapped a spring so now Gunna be looking for some mgzs stuff I guess didn't really w****r go this route as the load weights must be pretty different with that big ol v6 under the bonnet. also I took a lump hammer to that trailing arm I was taking parts off the otherday was that p**sed off with the hub bolts on the inside of the arm everyone of the rounded of bar 1 so I gave up on it just Gunna give it to the mechanic see what he can do :/ Don't think I've ever had a car that drives straight and Im determined to make this one right

and how did this serve you over the winter?

hmm this trhead is old but i still wanna know if anyone sorted this as i have two patches of mould growing in the car eitherside of the windscreen at the top but the other day noticed that they are pretty damp and havent looked into it further yet, did this ever get resolved?

i think in total ive seen about 2 weeks of winter this year, the rest just wet and cold

winter tyres? its almost spring :s

you got a link to the kit you bought? also links to the other parts would be a plus

thats how you drive anything but a diesel

i was actually thinking then my car goes past the 120 quite quickliy if i rev up to between 8200-8600 in evry gear but if i say only get to 7k in third then 4th will become very slow and it will seem to strgle to go past 100, so basically just keep your foot planted till you hear that limiter tap

also my fav oil filter remove tool is a hammer and screwdriver a mans tools

i can vouch for this ive ran my car with iabs on and off a few different times, now vtec note is very aggressive and loud when the iabs of open all the time, but if its wet and i my foot down in second it hit the vtec no pull just loud noise and then around 6k when the iabs would be fully open my engine goes sick and spins the wheels up to death. so in short if your gunna delete your iabs then you just gotta keep you revs above 6k easy

Haha I will do one day man loud and proud I guess

Sound nice and quiet I swear to god that exhaust was way louder in person I actually couldn't hear myself think over it :s couldn't talk to someone while doing 70 without shouting my new one isn't loud until I put my foot down

ill take it this never went so well?

i know man he had the wheels on an m aswell so he only used 16 but managed to destroy 19 of them i have one thats in good condition lol haha ahh well i suppose i would nrrd green ones anyway

lol also just found this on my phone i made it as i was chasing my mate up to the exhaust place for my decat (obv on a private road) i would never do 80mph on a country road haha

lol my bad thought i could embed video sorry

how about these? they came with the alloys would have fitted them if the ameture i got them from hadnt tried to remove them with a wheel brace

So been messing around again this morn tryna sort this suspension mess out unfortunately it's giving me a hard time :/ Have 2 problems with it number 1 I've got the piece of lca out that the scrapper left in for me trouble is now I'm left with a stud in the nut that's not actually a nut it's just a nut shaped lug with a thread welded to the arm :/ And number two should I replace this bush?

also put these up in the freebies if anyones interested if not the scrapper will be interested viewtopic.php?f=159&t=11893

:D :D i was just toooo excited man!

Also I felt this needed its own post just got back in the house now after fitting these

Wasnt that hard but it was sideways in the snow into a curb lol :/ And Tom yes I love outward rolled lip reminds me of the trumpets on individual throttle bodies which is one of those dream mods I wish to get

lol the rim sticks out because i bashed it in to a curb haha and nahh i wear them all the time get me everywhere faster
