Congratulations buddy, well done :)

Can't remember if I asked you this before, if so then please ignore - mind if I ask where you got your BPI flow stack?

Cheers mate :D

I remember you mentioning your mates LCR with the LSD at AMD. Thats what got me thinking. Like I say if I do get the LSD I'll get the clutch too while the works being done. Similarily if the rods get done I may aswell get the exhaust mani done and the exaust valves, however I need to be confident that I wont have any problems with whatever exhaust mani I go for, so I'll be keeping an eye out on results. Wont be till later in the year but depending on what gets done I may have to pop back down AMD late this year early next year to catch up ;)

You could almost do withsaving a bit long and doing the rods, clutch and flywheel and LSD at the same time to minimise labour costs.
Mani can be done alot easier as you can just pop the head off to do it

:think:
Christ that would be some bill. I need to put a shopping list together so I've got an idea of costs.

That's my plan if I go for more power. Rods and manifold and a new downpipe for me all in one go so I save on labour costs. Don't rush anything mate, think about it carefully and see what you think is needed next based on your driving etc

Definately wont be rushed, it'll be and Autum/Winter job probably so plenty of time to look into it and get the right stuff.

Thanks for the link dude :)

No worries mate

Hence the save a bit longer idea, its alot in one go but cheaper in the long run

was going to do it in two bits, but you may have twisted my arm :)

Cheers mate, the wheels are powdercoated high power silver. Just find a decent wheel refurb place and ask for the brightest silver they do ;)

Today has been nice and sunny so I decided to give the car a good cleaning:

I don't actually know exactly how low it is mate... :whistle:

I will try measure it next time I'm out there. It is quite a bit lower than yours at the front though. Handling was unaffected. Just do it but don't go extreme so that it may rub.

DK measured his ride height quite a bit and his is very similar to mine, maybe a touch lower and he doesn't have any problems as far as I'm aware.

I noticed mate:

I think yours is sitting better then mine:)

If you can get the measurements that would be great mate, unless DK turns up.
