Did you sort your wheel nut problem Gaz?
All this strippage is making me want to do mine today

 

[.GAZ.]

Er.. It's been ok. I've got spare bolts with me anyway!

 

[LiamR172]

Ok, if one of your wheels fall off and come flying into my car youll be getting your big fat wallet out

 

[.GAZ.]

You've got track insurance? Right?

​

Turns out my Cup was far too low. Destroyed a brand new Dunlop.

Raised the Bilsteins, put another wheel on and had a ball!

Back on track this Sunday!

Gaz give me a should on what the Solid mount is like.

I have been toying with one but insure for standard road use.

 

[The_Pirate]

Vibration in the cabin will increase a fair bit Marc.

I have poly bushed dogbone and lower arms.
Im thinking to so the Anti Roll Bar aswell and then possibly a new standard bush but i have always wondered about a solid engine mount

 

[The_Pirate]

I've got the black edition solid dogbone mount - it was pretty stiff the first few weeks but it does settle down! Worth it for gear changes/no knocking.

 

[w33 brl]

I don't think the vibration is that bad as people make out but the gear change is better tho

 

[.GAZ.]

Vibration isn't any different IMO!
