Perfect. Thank you

Hi, Any body know how camber bolts should be positioned on the shocks/hub? I have eibach camber bolts ready to go on. I take it goes through the top hole. But which way and where does the weird washer go? Pictures would be perfect. Also what is the point of the little marker on the washer...

No problem mate

Well Danny 519 checked mine, all he did was check if the damper had play in it. He just pushed it back and forward when the car was on the lift, and he said that they had play in them.

I had this problem, changed everything and it turned out the Bilsteins needed refurbing! Hopefully be getting them back tomorrow after sending them away since early Feb!! lol

Whats the arb bushes like?

Epic build fair play!

Stripped apart the driveshafts yesteday, cleaned them all up and fitted new cv boots. Also sprayed them red to match the rocker cover.

Subframe fitted last night, wasnt as bad as I thought it would be! It's all coming back together now :approve: plus Bilstein have confirmed that my front shocks are on the way back! At last! lol. Plus I have ordered 20mm H & R hubcentric spacers from larkspeed to widen the front a little...

Nice report and pics, I'm gonna go next year for deffo

Rear axle built up and ready to be refitted :cool:. Cleaned up the calipers and sprayed them with black VHT. Also put new disks, bearings and pads on at the same time. Thanks to Tom from Wests :D. I also rebuilt the subframe up ready for fitting.

Suppose its a weak exhaust?

Well it killed my brand new scorpion cat back after 10 months. So no it's not doubtful. Exhaust need to have a little movement

Can't PM you back mate, your inbox is full. You can get access to the back of that bolt. Does it just spin?

These mounts are too stiff! They caused my exhaust to split in the centre section

My axle is off the car at the moment. I'll have a look this afternoon if it looks the same for you

Plus your bearing wouldn't last two weeks without that spacer

Isn't it still on the hub? I'm sure that's the silver bit right on the end. This is mine after it shattered on a track day - The spacer is right on the back... See it? Try prying it off with a flat end screw driver

Polybushed last year. A t*** of a job with the subframe still on the car! Lol

Been thinking of pulling it off to be honest. I don't want to put too much spray incase I can't get the powerflex bushes back on! Yeah she is really good at it! I think it will look good when done :-)

Update on spraying - First Yellow coat applied last night. It will need about 3 - 4 coats to finish off. You can see the proposed finished colour on the bottom picture. They are really starting to take shape now.....................

At last! Lol. Fred confirmed my B14's are on the way back :-) plus Mrs is going to spray the bits yellow tonight. Dead excited :-) photos to follow later with a proper camera :-)

Yeah they are not ideal!!! They could make them better I'm sure! They feel ok at the moment. But need to sit slightly lower, more drilling I'm afraid! They should really make these more adjustable out of the box!

Got the parts back from the sandblaster today.... Gave it another coat of primer before I put the yellow on this week. Well the Mrs did the spraying... She is amazing at it! Lol. I'll take better photos when I get it all finished :-)

Thanks mate. Yep seats are brilliant! Can't wait to get her on the road now!

Update time - Popped to Demon Tweeks yesterday to get some OMP subframes and sidemounts. Fitted them today,only to find the sidemounts didnt match up to the holes on the subframes. So I marked them all up and drilled new ones. Bolted them on to the seats - Fitted perfectly To deal...

Your synchro is probably starting to go. Mine does it in 3rd the same. I changed my gear box oil and it did go away. But I'll gave to recondition the gearbox some time in the future

Spend all that money to do that car up and only use it for 3k miles after!?? What a waste!

Can use a car jack and use a bar to push the shock up if your on your own. Bit of elbow grease??

Thanks mate, hopefully close to 900 kg, I'll take it to a weigh bridge after I'm done :evil:
