Photo bucket is crap. It deletes them even if you edit the titles. Plus I think it charges you every two years iirc?
Flickr is much better, plus it doesn't distort your pics. And you can edit and move pics and they still stay on the page you've uploaded them too.
As above, the rears are easy. The bottom bolts are 18mm. I can't remember what the top ones are (17mm?) but I'm pretty sure I read that the bilsteins don't come with the top nuts so you use your existing ones. Renault don't sell them separately either, they only come with new rear shock.
I had a Nikon d3100 a few years ago but sold it. However I miss having a decent camera and taking pics on my phone isn't good enough. I wanted a camera that was easy to carry and not worry about lens swapping so I thought of getting a bridge camera. My GF saw this was on offer at a few places...
I did wonder about them. They are nearly double the price of standard ones iirc and you don't see much difference, but they do look smart. They suit your engine bay colourwise, as you have a few red bits.
I loved my old Ktec IK. It sounded awesome from 5k up!
I noticed you had "red" solid...
There's always something that gets in the way, but at least that way it makes you enjoy the car more!
Love the engine bay. What's your views on the magnacor leads?
You'll love the bilsteins. Many people have been happy with them as they offer great road comfort as well as handling. Don't forget to keep your existing rear damper top nuts.
You'll never want to go back to standard ride height again!
It is worth paying the extra Tbh. It's not only a stance thing but with the steel inserts they'll be safer than non steel inserts. I've seen many threads and in person of cheaper ones not fitting right. (The latter was on way to a track day! The bolt to hub bolt came loose and they had been lock...
Get these spacers for the front. I have these and the quality is excellent and they are very light.

It's go hard or go home bro!
Actually I read that the standard ones are crap for longevity and these are recommended. Although there is more vibration than standard, I don't think I'd go back as standard feels too slack.
Plus new mounts. Ok there solid ones, but the others were knackered anyway. Obviously new brakes and new coilovers all round too so it should be all good :)
Update (shamelessly taken from @AlexW thread)
Gearbox has come back from Agency Transmissions. Got it painted in silver then dropped off to Alex's. Had all my bits painted. Got all the silver parts done with 2pac lacquer and I've painted the rocker cover and a few other small bits in satin...
Due to work I haven't had a lot of spare time and with the parts that did get sprayed, I was limited to the spray guys at work.
As Alex said, I just wanted it cleaner. It's going to look better after than before and thats what I wanted along with it running correct with the big service.
I remember going out in M.C. (member on here) track car at Bedford this year and seeing them and was impressed with them.
Looking forward to seeing it Dan :cool:
