Thanks mate. It all really stemmed from the clutch failure, thinking it was the gearbox and then sourcing a new one quickly for a straight swap over, that then presented me with the box problems. All done now though which is a relief. I've got two track days booked so far. One at Brands one...

All you can adjust is toe and camber on the front. Nothing on the rear. It's a 'fixed beam' If you don't have camber bolts then it will just be the front toe. In which case, take it to National Tyres & Autocentre. You can get it done for £15 with this voucher...

I bought 5100s with 85nm ish spring rates. They are paired with the Pure Motorsport solid top mount and strut brace kit. Works great!

From what I've heard and seen they are DOG s**t. I've got ASTs and they are simply awesome. @Kelv can get you a good discounted price on GAZ's, which I've heard are also very good, you can spec what you like.

PMS. Get the top mount and strut kit. Lovely bit of kit.

Unreliability 'usually' comes from excessive high revs. So as long as you don't set a silly high rev limit when it's mapped it will be fine. My peak power is at 7100rpm from memory.

No more than a normal engine. In fact mine it's actually more reliable as I put ARP rod bolts in it.

It's just a slight improvement over the standard car really. Nothing too crazy power wise. The noise is lovely though.

Another little update.... A very productive weekend for me. This is how I left the car on the last update (August 5th) That weekend (August 8th) @GrahamS very kindly came over to help me get the gearbox back out again. This time, as above, it was going back up to Gripper. So as...

You say that now, but once you start it's a slippery slope haha

Looking good. Almost like a de ja vu for me

Car looks very fast Sonny. Sounds awesome too. You're welcome to try my car and have a feel for my EPAS to see if it differs from yours.

That looks f**king awesome!

Is that actually a Whiteline ARB? As it looks slightly different to mine. Not that it matters though. Just seems the arms are a bit short. The L bracket needs turning anti clockwise a tiny bit. The bush basically needs to be sitting flat on the bracket, not being crushed on one side more...

No problem with it being at an angle. But hard to make out from that drawing if there would be anything wrong with it. Best to get some actual pictures if you're not sure.

Sounds fine to me @imprezaworks. Mine are also slanted. You just need to make sure the little L bracket is leaning with them, so you're bushes are straight and not being crushed on the back side.

Looks lovely. I'd personally rather the wheels in another colour to gold. But it still looks great.

There's a fair weight saving to be had!! I would personally pay up and only get the marguard ones now. Mine have scratched like a b**ch on the sliders with barely any use. You can also get them with some kind of UV coating like I did, which stops the car from being like a greenhouse in direct...

Looking very good!

197 all day long (especially if it's the R27) 200 is awful looking in comparison in my opinion.

So am I mate. A little bit of hassle having to take the box out again and send it up there but at least I know it'll be sorted for good. Also means I need to sort out my tracking again when it's all fitted back in though.

Little update.... So on Saturday I bolted everything back up and put the box oil back in. One litre at a time, extensively checking for leaks in between. All looked good. I even ran the car on the axle stands to get a good look whilst it was all spinning. Still looking good I put the wheels...

The skills you have are just ridiculous. I've said it before and i'll say it again after every update probably lol. Love it. I can't remember if you said it before, but where do you do the majority of this work? It seems as though you should have a huge high tech workshop with the levels of...

That reminds me, still need to get your Go Pro vids uploaded!!

LOVE the noiseeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh yeah sorry, to look at. I've never actually driven one. But I'm aware how capable they are! Although I did own a normal 1.35i for two years and found that quite boring. Soulless.

Looks good. I've just never been a fan of these cars though. Find them really dull. Not something I would want to own but I can appreciate they are very capable.

Oh yes I forgot to mention the age deadline.. Definitely pays for itself in my opinion. Little things can really add up.

Porsche warranty is the best out there, covers everything. Apart from wear and tear items obviously. To get this warranty you either have to buy a car from the main dealer, or from a private seller whose car is still within a warranty period (independent dealership involvement voids all...

So was I mate. Maybe it was made years back and was just sitting on the shelf past the threshold..
