cheers steve.

cap, you think the arb makes a big difference? my suspension is pretty much gone, so if i get adjustable coilovers and a rear arb, would that be good enough?

It's the biggest single difference i've ever made to any car i've had, the results are awesome!!!
All i have is a front strut brace and a 25mm Rear Arb and i run out of balls before grip with just these two mods. I'm gona get a rear strut brace as they're cheap and i'm gona get some coilovers for cosmetic reasons. But i doubt you'll exceed the levels of grip with these on a public road.
If you tracking though it may be a different story.

i am looking to hit the track once im finished,which is wheree im hoping the adjustable damping coilovers will help. But the majority of my driving will obvious.ly be on the roads,its my day to day car. So il put the rear arb back on top of my list :)

well the evo that i wanted got sold so i dont really need to sell my car anyway.was for the better since i would never be able to afford to run an evo, plus i had already ordered coilovers when i decided to go for one lol!

i contracted my local legend to fit my coilovers with some help from some friendly peasants.

the car just before her...treatment;

yes im aware the sun has ruined the pic.when i get some energy, i shall take better photies.

next up, need to get myself a set of brake pads and discs. will be going for the ferodo ds2500s again. and as for discs, i would like some drilled ones but iv been told they are prone to cracking so i might just get some grooved ones. next its power steering fluid, and 4 wheel laser alignment to get the suspension set up for fast road use. once thats sorted, it will be time for a new turbo methinks

thanks guys!

lol matt i may well have to! getting married soon and i might be forced to get an economical car... :(

oh and iv just changed my N75 valve, turns out that was faulty too just before crail :( so iv replaced that and its holding boost much better now, peaking at 22-24psi and slowly dropping back to 14-16psi. as opposed to before where it peaked at 20psi and dropped right down to 12psi almost instantly... and on the day of crail it peaked at 16 and dropped to 10-12 :( even still, ran a 14.7 with that boost issue, cant wait to get back on the track and see how i get on under full boost :D

Hi Mate, I'm considering repraying my Onvi Yellow LCR. Love the work that you have out into yours. Sorry to be abit cheeky but how much did the repsray set you back and also which shop did the job?

Much Appreciated.
