matty1 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 So I finally fitted the rear lower control arms, look pretty decent. The rear strut lower strut brace that I bought doesn't fit, so I gotta modify it and should work. Will get pics up tomorrow.Just took it out for a little drive and it's amazing the change the suspension has made! It eats up the corners now.

matty1 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 havent been on here for a bit, havent had much time but thought id pop on with a few updates. so tonight i fitted some glow dials and i actually have a pic! i really like them!so a few more updates but no pics yet cause my car is filthy and i aint had the time! i bought this brake set up off ebay for £169 all vented and drilled discs with mintex pads, fitted them last friday and gotta say very good brakes! now the bad update! while i was jacking up the car, cause i had it ridiculous low i had to use the jack out the boot, i literally jacked it up so the wheel was just off the ground then i was removin g the wheel so i could get my axle stand under and boom the damn stupid jack slipped offat this point the wheel was half and half under the wing and the car crashed down on top of it! my wing was up higher than the bonnet lol! was crazy but managed to hammer it back in to shape but still got a few lil dings in it and some paint missing. will try and get some new pics up and hopefully you all like the dials!

vtec2011 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I was looking at those dials on Ebay earlier! I love the looks of them but there a bit pricey for me.. They look very bright too For the bad news, that just sucks. Those jacks are just pure s**te.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I feel for you mate, that sucks, the jacks are shockingly bad and not really fit for purpose. Like you my car is low so I need to use it but all I do is get it a couple of inches higher so I can get the trolley jack under the front. On the plus side at least you weren't underneath it when it went.Dials are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've raised my car slightly higher now so I can get the big jack under it.Cheers buddy, dials are amazing at night, love them and I'm getting the carbon fibre surround for the dials on Monday so will update Monday.
