Just get cup shocks

Jeez, been following this thread on and off over the years, such a shame to see how you have been royally shafted by the Fan boy Specialists! Having been down to Mick from County Durham the other month with the 250 i can honsetly say there will be NO problems with anything he does, £40K is...

182 cables will fit, the floor pan/route of handbrake cables hasn't changed

Well sold the Pro Race 3's today as i hadnt ordered any tyres and they were sat collecting dust. Done a lil purchase 2weeks ago so now my attention will be on the Mrs new daily.. Nice lil spec'd 250CUP Drl's Recaro's Keyless entry/start Bluetooth Lowered on H&R springs RST decat with Non Res...

Well after waiting all week they finally arrived, didn't realise they'd come with wheel bolts aswel so just need to buy a set of lock bolts. One wheel has a small burr on the inner side lip (guessing from casting) so i while file it down just to make sure its smooth and can't cause any damage...

Well after a quick phone call on Wednesday i was told they had NO white Pro Race 3 in stock and that it was a website error, could have them made for me in around 3weeks or he could do me Gloss Block for the same price (Bearing in mind GB were listed @ a higher price) so i said yes to the GB...

Ended up fitting the ARB and discovered Another genuine rear shock to be goosed, thats 2 now in the space of 14months. Just a slight misting of oil so il be replacing these with Koni adjustables this time around Also a quick pic of the underseal now its dry (crappy pic)

Well just had a nice little delivery 5mins ago, think im going to hold off fitting them for today and possibly paint the brackets just to keeping it looking better for a little while longer lol Just waiting for a confirmation email to say when my wheels will be shipped then il look at ordering...

Camber gauge arrived today, arb & camber bolts will be here monday so aslong as its dry i'll set about getting them fitted. Made another purchase tonight in the form of Pro Race 3's in White 15" ET35 however i'm thinking of getting them refurbed straight away in a nice silver.. yes i could of...

Yeah on K-tec exhaust its a lil 8mm what just bolts in to stop exhaust sliding off the mount

Well just put a order in with KamRacing for a Whiteline Arb and Eibach camber bolts.. Once they arrive il get them fitted straight away, going to buy a Gunson camber gauge so i can set it best i can till i have time to get it set up properly

Very small update: Finally got round to fitting the upper gearbox mount that iv had sat for a while, piss easy and don't really understand how some ppl struggle. The old one didn't look in to bad of condition so iv kept it in the shed incase for some reason it comes in handy. Planned on also...

This was my old 172CUP on Sportlines with cup shocks

Id hazard a guess at Apex or that similar name from ECP

Yeah it's Dave! Absolute spot on bloke and very well priced, when i went i always got a much smaller bill than i expected and he wouldn't even take an extra £10 or anything for himself.. His words were nah you've paid the garage so that's good enough for me

Very small update (no pics as not much to see) Well i decided to do the underseal this week whilst im off work so on Saturday i got the car up and gave the floor pan a good scrub with HDD Road Rage and a stiff brush and then blasted it off with the pressure washer. BiltHamber Dynax UB suggested...

Mine was quite ok on the rust side, just a tiny bit in the centre of the boot where the window comes down (MK1 3 Aero) common place as it traps water. Yeah you need to maintain them hence me doing oil & filter every 3k miles and then if something broke rather than standard parts i went uprated...

Haha i wouldn't say ruined it when it was running all good mods and th very very common mods route.. iv seen loads go at standard power, the only bullet proof thing on them is the gearbox.. Nah theyre safe north of 300 aslong as you upgrade the HPFP its usually the rods that let go and are...

Id hardly call them bullet proof, s**t loads blew in the 2yrs i had mine.. Mine also finished its self off when it blew rod out through the oil return for turbo and went up in flames. Mine was Running BNR S3 Turbo (GT28), fully catless,Uprated cooler,Autotech HPFP,3bar map sensor,3port...

You realised just how easy it is to service it now then, always do my own now and just keep all receipts and take pics during the work to show it was done.. just fitted a GOLD magnetic sump plug to mine Ever need a hand/tools with anything just gimme a shout on FB or something

Last time i rang Reno Wolves they were the most expensive.. think that was for tie rod iirc

Got a link for the M1155's at that price please?? Loved them on my old cup

DO NOT DRAIN THE FLUID OUT!! You'l end up with air in the abs pump if you do that and then its a utter c*nt to bleed, just keep it topped up and dont let it run dry

Done mine with Silicone hose (just to go with the coolant hoses)

Made a little order today from Bilt Hamber for some Underseal products as i noticed the car does'nt seem to have much on as its flaking off and the silver floor pan is on show. I will be off work for 2 weeks in the next fortnight so i intend to jack the car up and put it on axle stands and give...

Small update, as iv got the day off work i thought id set about sorting the fatty IK. Just need to see about securing the filter down as it moves about and is scratching the sh*t out the paint, needing to figure where im going to route my breather filter 2 also (thinking longer bit of pipe and...

Jesus i can't believe this is still on going, in regards to the old ITB build i still remember to this day when you posted the dyno graph which in all honesty looked s**t. Rather than being a nice smooth curve like you tend too see with ITB's it was like a mountain range, still remember it to...

Very minor update as i havn't really done anything due to work and other things. Iv got a new gearbox mount sat waiting to be fitted but iv also decided im going to ditch the Ramair panel filter and go for K-tec nock off set up. Parts started to arrive for the intake, just waiting for the...

Need 2 show the Mrs this, she's always had a soft spot for RB and have been looking at replacing her car

Small update, today i set about changing the rad and coolant hoses due to having a leak, didn't take any pics in the process as tbh i just wanted to get it done so i could chill. Hoses are MTC off ebay which seem decent quality for the money and the rad is Nissens also purchased from ebay
