Can't wait to see a massive picture update to this thread!! And to see it at Bedford!
I've got some 10mm black K-Tec spacers if you want to downsize and buy some :smile: PM me if so.
I'm sure just one is needed (disconnect the bar from the drop link on one side).
I wasn't accusing you of anything anyway Tony :-) Just agreeing with you on how quick they are to unbolt if needed.
I had cup shocks and Eibach springs with my rear ARB for a good while. Worked very well for two little modifications.
Go for it, you wont be disappointed. Easy to bolt on and off too as Tony has said.
What a rear ARB basically does is stiffen up the rear end, keeping it flatter and...
I run a varley red top 25. Been fine for the last year and I barely use the car. Once a month for a track day.
I don't have air con though but that wouldn't be an issue as you wouldn't have the air con on without the car started.
I've recently removed the radio now too. But was fine with...
Sounds like you've already made you mind up :wink:
How much road driving do you do and intend on doing?
My car is like yours. Fully stripped, cage, buckets, harnesses, solid top mounts & brace, powerflex black rubbers all round, 15 inch wheels and onviously the ASTs.
As epic as they are on...
Yep that's right, I'm on Sportline 1's or 4100 as they are now called.
If I was racing, where every little helps. I would have pushed that bit extra for the 5100s. But for what I wanted them for, track day fun, the 4100 are more than sufficient for me, and they save a few pound coins too.
I...
If you can afford them. Get them.
I held out buying some for so long. Thinking I could make do with just cup shocks and springs. Eventually forked out and I just wish I had done sooner. Such a great coilover kit.
My car lives outside all year too. As Tom does, I try to clean mine every now...
How did you do such a good job on the wheels!?!? Without any paint running or sagging. I seriously need to change my technique I think.
Did you use primer?
Spray can I take it or a proper gun?
1) High spec forged N/A K20 engine
2) Sequential box with a LSD.
3) Alcon or AP calipers all round.
4) Full respray inside and out.
5) Full strip down and refurb everything.
6) Nice collection of top spec wheels and tyres
7) Ridiculously priced coilovers
Dunlop Direzza is a great tyre apparently. I've heard it's noticeably better than 888s. It's what a lot of the race car guys use.
So would be a step up from A048s. I'd definitely be going for the Direzzas over these!
Can't help you on the slicks.
But you could try a better tyre for the dry, like the Direzzas. Get some fresh 888s as intermediates. And something like Toyo R1R or those Rainsports for wets.
