cheers ade.the stuff they make now is got rose joints on the ends and need replaced.these have solid bushes.same with the tie bar to hub is different again doesnt need to ever be replaced.it also has a small ava mod to suit andy's 8" wheels which i am going to be running also so is spot on for me

[Ade]

Sounds good!
Sure Sitech would be able to sort out all the suspension setup too, they've got corner weights and plenty motorsport experience

Look forward to seeing this all together

[rosco]

[boeb]

well done mate this is 1 cracking s1 mate youve done well mate, will be amazing in the flesh...post up video of it singing

[stevenebm]

it is like a tractor as it has no exhaust really waiting on my v band connections coming and a flexi pipe so i can get it connected.just wanted to make sure it was gona fire and my god i was impressed at the management how good it fired up.should be more reliable now

[AGAR]

Excellent news Stevie - you got it booked in for mapping yet?

[stevenebm]

not yet mate,still few jobs to do like braided lines etc,tho spoke to sitech yesterday about mappin and full suspention set up

[stevenebm]

finally got my arse in gear and got my exhaust off to take to my mate at elite custom exhausts.he knocked me up a new downpipe over the gearbox in no time and put a flexi section in aswell so theres a bit less stress on the turbo.really pleased with it and this is the final peice of the jigsaw in regards to getting the car running properly

[rosco]

nice job on exhaust mate

[DALSY]

cant wait to actually see this car Steven, it will be a weapon of a thing

[stevenebm]
