Finally got my car through the MOT... found that one of the shocks was leaking badly... and i mean badly! when i was shown it off the car... you could actually see the oil coming out when you flexed it!
They were FK highsport coilovers... and my advice.. NEVER buy them.
After ordering a set of Jamex coilovers that was recommended by a member off this forum (massive thanks to him!) got the whole kit ordered for the price of two replacement shocks from FK!!!!
So, the car has now passed as the shocks were the only thing that failed.. (note: HIDs passed absolutely fine.. another vote for Dianeshop)
The jamex coils are worlds apart from the FKs... the ride is like being on cushions compared... but then could be because THREE, yes THREE of the shocks were leaking oil
cant recommend the Jamex coils enough, £190 for a set and 2years warranty... ordered 9am yesterday, arrived 9am today... only quibble is no top mounts with them... but hey!
Got my TT brace off a member here, ground the remaining bracket off, will just spray some matt black over that tomorrow until i can get it powdercoated to stop it rusted and might try to fit it tomorrow.
Todo:
Engine Cover (need screws)
Brace (need paint and holes drilled)
Fit CD changer in the boot
Drill Airbox
