I'd be tempted to mate Eibach springs with Koni dampers from reading on here...
Have you thought of changing to Eibach Sportline springs? They'll drop your bus a little lower..
the seal around the door could be the problem?
When my alarm man refitted the seal around the top of the door, it just wasn't on properly & I bought some goldfish to have a play in the footwell for a week or two...
IIRC, around 64mm is the optimum
They usually quieten down a little after a few weeks.
If the exhaust has raised torque in the mid range, the kick will be less pronounced, but still there.. maybe taking it to a good RR can see if there's a problem with the power delivery?
Dont think they test the front foggy's... not 100% on that though..
Lights
All required lights are checked for:
operation
condition
security Side lights and headlamps
are the correct type and colour
dip and aim.Stop lights, indicators and hazard lights*
are the correct type and colour
do...
Optimax & BP Ultimate I find are good, better economy & performance. Tesco 99 drops the fuel consumprion loads & normal 95 stuff makes the old girl run rough...
All IMO.
1. 182 manifold -> modify janspeed cat -> custom stealth exhaust
2. 182 manifold -> 182 sports cat -> custom stealth exhaust
one of them get my vote, 1 would be cheaper than 2 though, as you already have the janspeed item.
custom exhaust place?
ktec?
how many miles did you get from it?
if its just the bracket that has snapped off the backbox, a few cable tie's will do the trick for a short term fix...
try another garage to fix it under warranty?
Get their name & tell them you're taking this to the highest authority.
Failing that...
Tell them you're gonna hunt them down like the dogs they are?
contact whoever fitted it & ask them if they'd like their exhaust stuck out that far.. kick off.. failing that, its a custom exhaust place to "modify" it slightly..
Eibach pro's on a 172 wont lower 20mm, it'll be more like 10mm.
Now eibach sportline springs, they'll lower a bit more, say 20mm.. just the job.
Got a green panel filter on mine.. seems to be doing its job well enough.
