Yeah i was going to sell them but my pass side calliper siezed on and now i have the k03s on ive realised just how terrible they are!! Just need to measure how much to take off the carriers n get craig to machine them then thats me good to go 
he ran a 13.01 at crail on sunday!
he ran a 13.01 at crail on sunday!Sweet! Im sure i saw his car passing through largs recently even when its crawling it sounds like a demon haha wish i was up
Im not sure yet mate! If i still have it i reckon i will come along if not i may see if i can jump in with someone or convince a mate to head up!
I think you should just keep the car mate your off your head advertising it at that price!! If your tight for cash put it off the road n finish tue project once you have money! Wouldregret it big time letting it go so cheap although i was tempted to see if i could scrape the funds together for it lol
Time for an update although no pics atm! Will sort some out soon.
First of all i dropped my 312mm carriers off at my mates who took them into work and milled 5mm off of them. If thats to much i can always shim them out but hopefully have them on this week weather permitting unless my mates quiet and i can get a shot of one of his ramps. Secondly i got brackets for my rear anti roll bar so hopefully get that on this week aswell! Really looking forward to it as ive had the brakes and ARB forever! Car needs a good wash polish and seal but not really had the weather for it recently unfortunately! And lastly debating taking the splitter back off as its getting tiresome scraping over every speed bump or lump in the road!

cars looking good, iv started tiding my bay up aswell, bit of a stupid question but with the forge tip do u remove the metal pipe that goes onto the inlet side of the turbo. im going to get one but cant see any clips on the metal pipe ??
carriers milled down
hoping to get them on ASAP now all i need to do is pick up spacers from a mate a find the time to get them on!! then the ARB to follow, hoping this makes the car handle a bit nicer
also gave the car a mini detail, brought it back up nicely smudged the lens on my phone so pictures a bit blurry unfortunately
hopefully next upgrade will be brakes and anti roll bar!

Another update, no pictures yet tho unfortunately cos the camera on my phone chucked it! Will use my camera for proper pics when i get a chance! Anyway got my 28mm rear anti roll bar fitted on saturday at long last after getting it off my parents for.christmas got the adaptor brackets from badger 5 a couple of weeks ago but yesterday was the first decent enough day to get it fitted and what a pain in the arse of a job it was! Getting the brackets around the axle to secure it was a real patience tester luckily my mrs wee bro helped me get it on, wouldnt fancy doing it on my own! Results of it were more than worth it though! Got it set on medium at the moment and it really is awesome. Before it felt like the back of the car was getting dragged round by the front and it never really felt stable or comfortable cornering but the difference is night and day! It turns in and changes direction a million times better and feels so much more planted through corners. Not far off of a 197 from what i felt when driving one in work!
Hoping to get the 312mm brakes fitted next week then ill need to see what may be needed for MOT time and maybe a front mount to since im finally back on full pay
Will try to update with pictures asap

Had a bit of a disaster yesterday! Put it in for its MOT n got a call to let me know it failed on brake imbalance due to both front discs being badly warped, so rather than buying a new set of discs i thought id fire my 312mm upgrade on. Got all the wee problems with getting them fitted sorted and got them all built up and on, tried the wheel on and as i expected it hit the calliper, so fitted a set of 5mm spacers but couldnt find longer wheel bolts so ended up having to take everything apart again buy new discs for the old brakes and fit the old set up to get it through its MOT later today, i also need to order longer wheel bolts so i can fit the 312s properly this time. Goin to strip them and paint them again as the paint on them just now is past it n they look rough! Could have probably put the 312s on with original wheel bolts and 5mm spacer but wasnt happy with the amount of thread holding the wheels on especially as the spavers werent hubcentric so maybe order a set of hibcentric spacers if i can find a set. Will also be ordering a uni front mount at the end of the week so hopefully make a bit more progress with the car soon!
thats a bit of a nightmare about the brakes man.
if your going with 5mm spavers on the front you'll need to see about getting some rear spacers too otherwise the front wheels are gonna stick right out compared with the rears that wi9ll be tucked in a bit.
just my 2p worth...... i'd be looking at sticking some 10mm rear spacers on to compliment the spacing on the front

Thats it through the MOT this time! Advisory for exhaust bein a bit loud but flew through emissions etc so doesnt bother me! Hopefully make a bit more progress with the likes of front mount and fitting the 312s then going to give it a full service after payday n do belts and all fluids and filters!
latest picture along with my mates jabbasport stage 3 LCR
spotted that going up the gibby nice looking mota
not updated this in a while due to the camera on my phone chuckin it and me bein to forgetful to send it to get fixed!!
done a few bits and pieces since last update!
-bought a private plate- A19XVV reads alex w, well does in my mind anyway
-refitted interior as had to take my bro and his mrs to the airport, bit more civilised but not sure itll stay this way?
-had a boost issue so bypassed the n249 and removed it, solved the issue!
and have bought the following to fit when the weathers playin the game!
-omp front lower strut brace
-omp rear upper strut brace
-standard downpipe with cat chopped out and straight pipe in its place, will be getting a 3" DP at some stage but this will tide me over for time being, will be a bit less restrictive anyway!
-4 bar FPR for going stage 2
-5mm spacers for fitting the 312mm brakes, undecided on if ill be using them or buying hubcentrics and waiting till they arrive!
-3" cold air feed as i dont have one ATM!
think thats about it, have no doubt missed something right enough! will try to update with pictures shortly
