So, paid for this today :smile:
The dealer serviced it and replaced both rear ARBs at cost, but critically replaced the iDrive unit and the FRM
Module (had reverse light and side light failure) under warranty.
They say it needs new rear wishbones, but that can wait.
So, it's mine. And I love...
@Rob - They'll be able to do it, but I warn you now, they aren't cheap. Brilliant, but not cheap. They run cars in Britcar etc, so there isn't much they can't do.
I'm not at Quinns bud, sadly no. I also had my aerocatches fitted. Yay!
They are originals, I'm afraid I don't know offset 😌 I'm sure someone will be along soon!
@Rob - www.jtechautomotive.co.uk fitted them and did the machining / painting. Bought the brackets from Chris Powell on here and the rest of the stuff from G 172 :) I bought the calipers online...
So..the brakes are done :)
Got the call from the garage earlier, but I won't be able to pick the car up until Monday night due to being busy at work. I'll get some photos though. The garage are very happy with the fitment under the 16s and the Speedline Willys 15s, however they can't get them...
The PMS kit isn't a short shifter. But it is redesigned from the gearbox back, including the gear linkage. Just wanging a longer 'stick' in the part in the car may cause problems as the box is notoriously weak. You are right though, it is mainly rushed changes that kill the boxes.
I don't...
I'd recommend the PMS shifter kit (as shown in my photo) to be honest. These gearboxes really don't like longer throw etc, and the PMS guys spent a long time testing and getting it right...
15 inch wheels on mine. I'm currently machining a set of Brembo 4 pots specifically to get them under 15's so that I can continue to get cheaper tyres.
Hi, welcome along!
Whilst not wanting to come across rude, I'll be very impressed if it is running 198bhp from the work it has had done. Which cams does it have in it, and who did the work, do you know?
As said, fastest way to significant pace is either Supercharger or Turbocharger but neither...
I bought the car in April 2011. So nearly 4 years. It has been through a few 'iterations' i.e. Cammed. But, I did an engine swap with some good friends off here, and then went down the supercharger route. It will be at CSS15 pounding around Blyton hopefully, so you'll get to hear the scream...
Thanks Martin, I will drop to 10mm so will PM you.
As for pictures - I asked the garage to take some, whether they did or not I shall see, but I'll take plenty when they are on the car :)
