fitted one of bills thicker inlet gaskets

rear shocks off

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr dirty

gave them bit of a clean

along with new top mounts and lowering them a tad

same with the front ones

think im going to get my coilovers refurbed as everythings to be messing about now, so thinking new everything!!!

as the hybrid has now sold

thinking new

uprated top mounts
stronger springs
harder rebounded settings
new spring seats
new locking plates
new anti roll bar
soild rear wishbone bushes
new trackrod end (inner and outer) maybe rose jointed depending on work to make fit
camber adjustment bolts
then full tracking and camber

[mc funbot]

keep it up some lookin good an the bike!! we need a little weekend catch up..

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

finally found the problem with my front suspension after striping it all back off

wonky spring

so setting it up was a right pig

got it near enough

also fitted my solid front engine mount along with a new gearbox and rear mount

car is sitting like this at the minute awaiting more new parts

also got the stickers back on the bike

 

[CupraSean]

car is looking sweet as always pal !!

noticed any difference with the thicker inlet gasket ?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Madness close to the floor cracks me up, im only 40mm lower and i keep catching stuff gggrrr.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

few bits arrived today and got a few bits fitted

intercooler piping kit 63mm

clamps but they seem a bit weak so many not use them

definatley wont be using these

thats because SFS Hose sorted me out with these

much thanks to them

fitted a new scuttle panel mine was shabby

finially got my grubby mitts on a stubby mirror

fitted

wanted to do something a little bit different with them

also making the first the step to uprating my coilovers

 

[yellonvi-R]

Them clamps arent bad i used my ones and non have come off yet.

 

[Berg]

Sits quite well i think

Once sorted it will be awesome though!

Nice mirror too, i was tempted to convert my stubby to a bigger one lol thatd be a first i reckon

[Berg]

Yer i reckon that might be a first actually lol

Gonna raise mine up a tad this weekend for when the spacers arrive

It was dropped when i got the pads off you other night, but one of the fronts is slightly higher at the moment so need to raise it and level it all this weekend!

 

[CupraSean]

Looks bloody sweet though.
