Very nice day full of driving today and all I can say is I have massive grin on my face. I could hear something scraping however, pulled over and had a look and it's my undertray. Seems its dropped slightly, I knew I'd lost some screws some time ago so need to sort that. Iv also decided to get some spacers for the front also, thinking 10mm or 12mm hubcentric spacers

Thats about the same as mine,
Mine has'nt droped since they've been on so you sould be ok.

Yeah I doubt it will also mate. People go on about how the car continues to drop after a couple of weeks but I ain't convinced. Soon as my fat rear got in it that was it job done :lol:

Well looks like the exhaust is being pushed back a week (why ain't I surprised) Not to worry I have plenty to get on with.

Need to sort the under-tray and also fit some hubcentric spacers on the front wheels. Other bits to do is to fix the small leak I have to see to as it's leaking fluid the dirty lil cow!!! Also need to fit my Intake Phenolic Insulator Gasket which is currently sitting about doing nothing

TBH coilovers and a a RARB will sort these right out. The FARB could be better but it's capable, other than that some stiffened engine mounts, good tyres & we're ready.

I hear you mate. I now have done both front and rear ARBs, coilovers, front strut brace, got good tyres now so the rest is really up to me. Should be a good laugh to have the car on the track

Looks like today hasn't really gone to plan. We took everything out but when it came to the Milltek downpipe I purchased off one of their distributors, nothing lined up. We tried everything to get it to line up but no luck. The guys are now building me a complete custom downpipe.

Going to get in touch with the place I purchased it from as well as Milltek to see what's going on. Taken loads of pics which il upload here also when done
