Saw your ride in the flesh at E38. In fact I parked behind you on the stand. Looks very nice

You did? On the Saturday? Should've said hello! :D

:lol: well have a week with no life............ the car is more important:lol:

How'd you think I've done this much to the car?

Looking good, Ash :yes:

How do the brakes feel now then?

You REALY do need a rear ARB mate, transformes the handling :)

Brakes are noticably different. When you are on the motorway or whatever and you see traffic ahead braking, before you put your foot on the brake and kept putting it lower and lower until it stopped enough. Whereas now you press it and you feel the brakes biting harder the more they get in them! You dont need to move your foot on the pedal whereas last time you really did.

Rarb next maybe then! Insurance is due soon though. :cry:

+1 :yes:

you won't regret it! ;)

you'll be amazed how quickly you can take corners :whistle:

Hmmmmmm. Might be worth the investment! :D

Well, engine mount didnt sort the knocking. But it's lifted the engine alot! :D

It looks down on the passenger side now, so maybe that one has gone too. :lol: But the old mount was knackered so it needed doing anyway. :)

So this weekend I sorted the FMIC pipework to try to sort the rattle.

Results?

MUCH better fitting bumper and better intercooler pipework layout!

Pics to follow. :)

It knocks at the strangest of times. You can't ever tell when it's going to do it! Silly thing is it seems to do it on the smallest of bumps! :blink: But I cant help but think it's something not suspesion related.....

looking good ash, nice and clean.

were you taking it for a test drive to minehead on sat????

looking good then too:D

The Mrs lives at Minehead. :) So that's where I was going. I didnt see you! Sorry fella!

looks a better angle now

Yeh! Thanks for the chat on MSN the other night, i'd never have sorted it if you hadnt had said what you did! :lol:

Lift off over steer is very hard to get tbh, i wrag mine quite a bit around very sharp bends ect...
i've still yet to get alot of lift off over steer, always end up with the front skipping out and then gripping hard when lifting off.
i've got the Whiteline RARB and it's on the hardest setting as well as AP coilies dropped 50mm front and all the way down at the rear, still not happy with the ride hieght.

Handling is great though, best handling car i've had.

Have you had your ARB replaced? Are you sure it's not that knocking against the subframe due to worn bush end stops?
