Thanks mate. Yeah I agree, not really needed but can make a nice difference on long journeys.

Re: My new car. TTQS Got a link for this mate? Keen to put one in mine, will make journeys so much more comfortable with one!

They look like they've literally just been done!! Had some done at S&P myself. Came out very nicely. Never had wheels powdercoated before this though, so was surprised when I saw the 'machine resting' marks on the inside of the wheel and had to confirm with Kelv if it was normal or not lol

That wheel shot looks like it's from a brand new car! Where did you get your wheels done just out of interest mate?

My bad. Cheaper fix though at least!!

You're new engine has died already!??

Love the home made spray booth. Looks like it came out very nicely!

Off camber always confuses me. What would the carousel at the 'ring be for example? Slopes into the corner so, on camber? Aren't most corners off camber?

Thanks chaps. Ordered some this morning. More surprised that I had been running for so long without them in the first place. The car came this way when I bought it!

Both sides the same yeah. Nothing stopping the top of the coilover bashing into the metal of the bodywork at the moment. If they had fallen out I'm sure I would have seen them at a later date on the floor. The car hasn't moved for ages.

So chaps. Just checked the rear shocks. There's no rubber bush like the one on the inside of the car. The only thing there is, is a 10 inch long plastic cover which slides over the piston. This won't fit over the coilover. So what do I do about the missing rubber bush thingy? Paprika123

There was a thread on here a while back with a link to them for £87 each. So I bought some. Probably 2-3 months back. Since then someone else found them even cheaper from another site, I remember specifically because I thought I had got mine cheap until I saw this post. Didn't pursue the new...

£350 on some R888s. £130 on some cook sport springs + new cup shocks whatever they cost. (will handle better than cheap coilovers) The rest on the pure motorsport top mount and brace. Anything left will be little bits. Or.... £350 on tyres, £650 on decent coilovers and do the GEO yourself.

Front stutt to hub bolts. I've done these up to 180nm odd, as the workshop manual says. However just seen a post from @Fred@BTM which says they're 140nm? How can there be so much difference. I know I'm massively over thinking this, but would rather get it right first time round.

What washer mate the gold sleeve thing? Confused me a little. Or is it something which I've probably left on top of the old shocks.

Makes sense to me. I must have just missed it when removing the old shocks. Silly mistake but I'm learning lol. So I keep the metal sleeves in then yeah? Cheers.

Oh really, that would make sense..... It could well be, I'll have to check now :o

Will touching the chassis damage the top of the damper at all? Do I not need some kind of a washer in there too? Cheers.

Fitted my ASTs this weekend at last. But a couple of questions. The main one being about the rear top mount rubber. Do I need the little gold washer still? If I leave this fitted then there's a gap between the chassis and the top of the damper shown below. If I remove it, the damper touches...

Nice pics. Can't wait to see some footage :) That Veyron taking two spaces. Nice plate on it too.

Great thread. Lovely tidy up you've done so far!

I wish my silver thing looked like yours does!!!!

All done now cheers chaps. Cleaned up the shaft too or the bearing face, whatever the correct name for it is. New discs/bearings too so shouldn't be any failures any time soon I hope.

Looks great mate. You guys have done a good job with that.

lol and I thought I worry too much. It'll be fine stick it in.

You wouldn't advise it then I take it. I used it on my coilovers and some powder coated bits, didn't seem to leave a bad finish, maybe I just don't know any better though lol :o:o

What about the BH stuff mate. You ever tried using that on wheels? Or is that nothing compared to Dlux..

Nice one chap. Will order some now and use it on my wheels when they come back. I used GT for my windscreen, can't remember what type it was, but it worked great and then seemed to not work at all soon after.

Much more enjoyable when it's cheap and you don't have to worry about it in my opinion. No offence to you of course, but you could spend 2-3 k on your engine and still not win any races. Big money combined with great drivers up at the front of the grid!

Anyone else used Dlux enough to give a good view? Wanting some views on what one to order :)
