anyways, normal pics first :approve...
just a quick vid with a video camera i found lying round in the loft.
seeing as i was in a constructive mood after finishing my boot build, i decided to make a D.I.Y mount to fit in the top of the dash where the cutout is. got a few blocks of MDF, cut them to the right shape with a jigsaw...
my boots been a mess for months, so i thought id pull my finger out and start from scratch this afternoon and complete it to how i had originally thought it out...

the fronts arent a problem as i can wind the coils down abit more, its the back im wondering about because theyre set to max already... are custom springs the only way to do it?
after advice from members on here about my very very quick tyre wear situation i decided to try and get my car tracked asap... all the places round this way were fully booked up for a week so i rang demon tweeks as they seemed cheap from what Maz had told me... phoned them today and got booked...
you came past me after coming under the bridge near newton train station and the total garage, instantly knew it was you due to the small plate on the front lol!
i beeped but it looked like you were daydreaming :boring: lol

yet another tale from owning a magnex, im really glad i got this now......not.
