[tom0311]

Haha, do it. Can't be doing 50 miles a day in a big engine petrol motor these days mate! Burning money surely?!

V6 Spiders still turn heads! Bring it along bud.

Oooh I can't wait either I'm starting to get excited myself, lol. Should be on by the weekend, pics of course to follow! You know me

Well I'm getting 320 miles from 70 litres with conservative motorway driving, spirited I'm lucky to get more than 18-20mpg but because it's not that fast I often do a long stretch at granny speed then caine it just to make it feel a bit quicker lol.

Yep I love them hearing that engine with the roof down will be lush, convertibles are gay but oh well

If I was to change alloys that is the shade I'd be having, so I'm looking forward to seeing it mate and excited for you! Oh I want an LCR again!!! I miss boost!

 

[RS6]

yeah i just checked in the thread with probably the same questions about the TIP lol

 

[RDS]

Can you not get a bead welded to the pipe, or http://www.apmotorstore.co.uk/alloy-90-elbow-ahe-090-063.html

You do what ever you feel is best mate, I'm not in any way trying to tell you how to spend your money (I'm not a woman). Its a shame your pipes aren't beaded.

Get another LCR mate!! Best car out there haha!

Decent enough MPG but I'd want to listen to that car singing I dunno how you can drive it conservatively lol.

LOL.. Defo not paying all that money for ANOTHER TIP!

I spoke to Hayward & Scott a while ago. That's where I'll be taking it to get it done if I do, they said £20 jobs a goodun! Sounded good to me. Just getting over there and the time to do it.

Lol, DK tells me how to spend my money when he can, he's doing very well in that respect this week! Could be more than wheels purchased by the end of the weekend lmao!!

I wouldnt waste money on the new TIP, doubt you'll see any gains over the one we're running, even if you did they would be minimal.

What you getting?

 

[RDS]

Is it a rear strut brace?

Exactly mate, not really much point in me making that move.

Is it a rear strut brace?

Yes and maybe something else too

 

[RDS]

Rear arb aswell, very nice mate. You'll be impressed

edit: set it on stiffest.

Yeah mate could be a cheeky RARB too

Fingers crossed..

 

[Ronin225]

Stiffest is not always best, my 28mm bar is set on the softest
Full bit of polying first and which rear strut brace

 

[RDS]

I love mine on stiffest, its 25mm the same as mine. You could probably stick it on the middle setting once the poly bushes are done.

I was going to ask someone this.... is it best to polybush everything then fit the RARB? In terms of fitting?

Rear strut brace will be a hughes engineering one if I get it

 

[Ronin225]

It will be easier and less damage to the bar if you poly bush the beam first
In my RR you'll see the beam with rear ARB still attached whilst off

 

[RDS]

The hughes ones are great bits of kit. Is it booked for the bushes?

Indeed I thought I saw this in your RR matey

Cheers for confirming. If I get the brace + RARB, they will sit around until the whole car is polybushed. So they may sit around for a couple of months. I did read in another thread somewhere on here about damage to a RARB because of knackered rear beam bushes.

The hughes ones are great bits of kit. Is it booked for the bushes?

No it's not booked in for bushes mate. Going to see how everything goes with regards to getting a potential rear brace/RARB 1st..

But it's due soon and no RARB will go on before bushes are done.

 

[tyrer]

I think the setting depends on the size I have the whiteline rarb set 2nd stiffest

 

[Danzibar9]

Tom, I used superpro wishbone bushes, and wow what a difference. That was only the front wishbones and made such a big difference. I can't wait to get a R ARB. Do you really need to do them all?

Cool I was under this impression aswell

In terms of how solid the car felt mate? I want them all done yes!

 

[Ronin225]

All poly = muchos good but not hugely comfortable
If i were to do my wishbones again i would use the racing rear bush, basically just a rose joint
