Anyone know if the rear bottom bolts on the ast's are suppose to have a spacer or collar as seems the hole on the damper is bigger than the bolt?

Thanks yes they are 5100s.

The seats are awesome there is another matching one for the passenger but in XL size so my fat mates can passenger.. :) hmm I dunno it is actually quite a big opening at the back and this will be ducted into the v6 airbox once I get some ducting, should do the job nicely.

You will see the previous posts at the top of this page are from 2012. :) needed to revert back to standard-ish spec as the missus required it as a daily driver for a few years - and decided to part company with the high value parts. Now we have a family wagon (fitted with a towbar of course)...

Sorted tow straps out today front and back, also modified the rear bump and cut the trim part out.

I still love the colour as much now as 6 years ago when this was the only colour I wanted :-) nah I got the headlamp blanks off this site from dinger I think - they are just light lenses with vinyl on top but have the air intake bonded in.

Sorted the rears out today Also test fitted the headlamp blanks (which will be wrapped in a different colour at some point) Also my mate races in the MGCC championship of which I help out with the team so sporting their webpage on the back now.

AST's picked up on tuesday thanks @-D4N- Front are now fitted in place just need to sort the rears out this afternoon if the weather holds off! After this its just a case of tidying the interior wiring and fitting top dash (once flocked), door cards and seats. Then will go into the garage for...

this thread is a real eye opener as to whats available - will be looking into this for next year now. :)

So a very long time since the last update: things have changed. With family and dog requirements the need for a bigger car was imminent and looked like I would sell the clio but happy to say I havent had too. It has now been taken off the road for good to become a dedicated track day car -...

where did you get the rear toe eye from? that looks quite smart :)

Ah good to hear! A job for Percy pry bar then! Mwahaha. Will attack this tomorrow then.

I thought this was the case too so put both wheels in the air but didn't lever the wishbone down as it would have had to move a long way, perhaps this is the case! Car has been on coilovers for years and years so similar issue by the sounds of it. ​Bolt spacing is 60mm so should be correct.

Am putting my car back to standard suspension setup due to needing the car daily again (and getting too old for coilovers daily...) I bought some 182 cup shocks and springs off someone on the forum and they must have been the right ones as I saw the car they came off.. When I offered them up to...

About 50? :quiet:

Balls... I forgot about this and didnt check my emails... Will be along to the next one in December though (places reminder in phone).

I have a janspeed system for sale at the mo?

If its shire horse should be able to get to this also :)

The Spax I got on are good, I replaced my GAZ ones with them in the 519 group buy last year, they are pretty hard though which is ok on nice smooth roads but B roads are fun :P nowhere near as "crashy" as the GAZ though. :) I've never had turinis, I'm 2118's for the win :)

Got quite a few mods, not as many as it use to have as I had an RS2 fitted at one point but sold it on. I have Spax RSX coilovers, Pure motorsport top mounts, whiteline RARB, 2118 wheels, and then the usual lol. Got a Yozza exhaust to fit this week but just waiting for a gasket to come. Then...

I bought mine with just 28k on the clock :P now has 59k so not too bad. Not really had problems with it just replacement of wear and tear parts - although I can imagine mine looks a lot more ropey than most mainly because it just gets abused rather than cleaned lol :)

Yeah I had Eric in my last year which was lucky as he basically found me this job I have now. Rob was just a complete goat.

Sounds just like mine was probably the same one... ;) did he have an italian sounding name by any chance ;) You did the motor vehicle apprenticeship then same as I did..

Welcome, Im also just down the road, and have an full system for sale at the moment ;)

Ah think Greg Denton is TO-43 actually, not in QEC I'm in the building at the front with the MINI on the roof. I did my apprenticeship here too and did most of it in TO-5, then got stitched for a job card at the end so had to find another..I got lucky really.

Ah yeah I did see the monaco one about too, you upgraded to the best colour ;) Ah right I work in programme planning so you probably have my old boss now (Greg) ;)

Yeah had mine for over 3.5 years now I think... Yeah private reg and has the stripes. Dont drive it to work all that often so probably dont see it as much nowerdays. Thought it was, looks nice. Where abouts you work in the plant?

I also work at the plant, drive the mini in most days though, but mine is probably the one you see with the white stripes. ;) seen your one parked in the car park also if its the one in the picture... Car looks good, got recaros in it hasnt it? I was in a MINI most of times I see you and the...

Seen again this morning, pulling into Oxford Plant car park :)

Seen you a couple of days this week, I wasnt in mine either time though, had a CS sticker so guess your on here.
