thanks man! :)

anyone know what size is the bolt thread that's missing in the OP's post? Thx!

I can't find any lemforder balljoint on my local online part store with this code. Maybe because I'm based in the EU and not in the UK? The ones that appear to be the right part have the 2889203 code attached (they have the M12 size bolts as they should)

Small little bump here- can anyone make a small guide into replacing all the seals in the AC system and where are they located? Thx!

Does the DCI rack have the same lock to lock turns compared to the RS one? I've heard that it has like 4 turns rather than 2,8- that's not so pretty, would make the car feel dull. Or am I wrong?

Meaning that the wilwood pads are smaller than the original or smaller than the Brembo pads?

How are the ph1 and 172 cup shafts different? There are various explanations but it's kinda confusing

the guys that installed it said it was original. Anyway, the one I instlled now is 100% original as I did the job :). Let's see now

Just replaced my thermostat the other day. Question is- why do these fail SO BADLY? It basically shredded apart wtf. This is the second one in the last 3 years, the original one lasted 15 years or so Any ideas? are there some stronger units out there?

hey nice build you have here! I see that you're running 30mm spacers- how do you cope up with that? Suspension guru's will say that the scrub radius will be all over the place and that the best way to substantially increase track width is with longer wishbones/lower ball joints and longer...

Hi guys, Recently installed my Bilstein B14 kit which I'm so so pleased about, did a trackday couple of days ago and really liked how the car behaved. I currently run Nankangs NS2R's in 205/45 16 size and was wondering if going next level on the tyres - AR1's, R888's and the likes- would be too...

It's a daily driven car, I'm not a fan of slammed cars especially on bad roads, oversized speed bumps etc. Plus if I run it that low on the rear I'll have to lower it on the front as well and it will scrub on the arches, hit the bump stops. Been there done that 10 years ago.

Hi, I'm about to fit a set of b14's and noticed that the rear spring adjustment collars have no lock in place screw. Don't they move out of position while driving?

I haven't spoke to Gaz, I know they're very nice and helpful but I recently bought the B14s so fingers crossed I'll get rid of all the noises. I also noticed that on firmer settings the noises kinda faded on the rear, but even on 6 clicks or so the car is too bouncy even on decent roads.

Change the cables and then see if it works. I had the same problem and one of the cables was chewed by corrosion. I did them both and it sorted it
