Its the wallet that always slows things down mate lol

Ive slowed down alot on my ibiza funnily enough :cartman: but it was the right time to go i think with the state of the current credit situation.

Whats left to do now then mate?

Ideally i'd like to get a cage, buckets, LSD, some decent coilovers and get it all set up properly. Everything left to do is expensive and it looks like it's got turbo troubles at the moment too :(

A brand new set of KW Variant 1's!

Got them at a price i coildn't really say no to. Hopefully they'll be fitted within the next few weeks, just waiting on new top mounts.

Look like it's got turbo problems though as it's chucking smoke out of the exhaust. Not good.

Probably will mate, it's sh!t out there at the mo, if you don't get a chance we can do it all when we take the turbo off

Thanks mate. I'm going to phone a few places next week to find out about repairing it and going hybrid. Then i might have to get that credit card!

I can't wait to get them on, just hope they sort the handling out a bit.

Exactly :) It'll probably go back on a K03 for a bit, until i get all the cash together for the parts needed to go hybrid.

With a massive thanks to Ben, my coilovers are now on.

Obviously they've still got to bed in but the ride seems nicer already. I've not got any pictures of the whole car as it's dirty, but it's now sitting slightly higher than it was before.

It's also back on a stock K03 turbo until i can afford to get my K03s repaired or upgraded.
