Well the only problem where I live they are all the small ones in the middle of the road, which you can take them together (i.e. drive in the middle of the road), but i also have a big ramp up into our estate...I really want to get rid of that vast gap between the wheels and the arch, but would like to get to my house...and air ride is not an option...coilovers maybe an option...(or reversing up the ramp or taking it side ways!) Dont suppose you live in the south west and want to try it out for me! :lol:

:lol: sorry mate am in the midlands, its only the really big 1s that are a problem and just touch the splitter makes quite a nasty noise but had no real issuses other than the 1 road i cant do but them bumps are huge with big gashes in the side of the humps, coilovers could be an option but the ride is so harsh i have heard, the springs still give the oem feel with a touch more rebound so feels nice and are alot cheaper that coilovers, i was worried about getting out my drive and was s****ing it when i first took it out but misses by about 5mm its so close i think you should go for it mate

Sounds great look forward to the pics!

I got all of my parts for my custom FMIC as well as a THS dogbone mount which has been sitting in my bedroom for ages. Followed your guide on the purchase with some changes on the intercooler set up as I have a different cooler. Plan was to do it today after re-doing my mates fuel system for his crazy Skyline but we ran into problems so going to have to wait to next week

Thats fab to know, always thought upgrading the cooler would be high on my list. I havn't had the car mapped yet so will be interesting to see how the ecu adjusts itself and how it copes. Looking to get my echaust and map done shortly though. Will get plenty of pics for sure :D
