Yeah you need to roll the car forward and backward to settle everything unless you have turnplates mate. The tyres create friction and stop everything giving you the correct reading until you release it.

The only place I'd take a car to be aligned at is a motorsport company who know what they're doing. The likes of ats etc, don't really have a clue about the equipment as they don't get trained on it properly! You've got 20minutes toe out there, which for some is too much. I personally liked it...

Oh ffs.

Still not enough plenum volume or space for the air to flow properly around the bell mouths.

Only advice I can offer is work in minutes so I don't need to translate your readings from degrees to minutes! Lol!! Also, not sure if you did or not, make sure the string is in the centre of the wheel. You can use the centre cap then to set the distances up easier. Regards the thrust angle...

Yeah all the time mate, amongst many other cars!

Fuckin stinks.

I used dragons breath with great success. That was on an especially hanging set of mk5 golf rims.

Yes it is mate. No group buy for the tool as there wasn't enough interest for me to justify making the outlay for having them made unfortunately.

f**king hell! I was waiting for that!!! It'll not be long now until you get caught rocking your little girl to sleep by your work colleagues..........and your nipper is nowhere in sight!!!!!!! I did. Lol

He gets a mention on page 67! 😂

As @Phase1sr has said. He's also someone that I've known for a helluva long time.

@SharkyUK I've taken the liberty of speaking to steve on your behalf, and he's happy to have the engine back and strip it down. This will be done labour free, so all you'd have to do is pay for whatever parts are required - assuming it needs some, and the collection/delivery of the engine. He's...

f**king 5 minutes is enough man! Lol

I filled mine with Halfords mineral oil, cranked it to build oil pressure, then struck it up. After that it pretty much went to be mapped and had the s**t knocked out of it. 230bhp later and all was good! Lol

Yeah the 'ring will have to be a job for 2018 or most likely 2019 tbh mate.

Hello mate, how's it going? New project?! Not a f**king chance of anything occurring with this one I'm afraid. This will be staying as it currently stands which is: H&R springs Akrapovic evolution exhaust (full system) Michelin pilot cup 2's Everything else is just standard FF 200 spec tbh...

It's going alright thanks mate. Settling in nicely working days as well!

Buy a 2nd hand 182 cat and have it cut into the decat mate. That's the most cost effective solution.

R888's

Thanks mate. Yeah unfortunately the tyres had started to overheat, so they were hindering progress somewhat.

Cheers. Not sure if I'll manage a trip in 2018 yet, but I'll be trying. Lol

Yeah I'm pretty confident I can get into the 8:15's in its current trim mate. Obviously take back seats out for a insignificant weight saving, but every little helps.

YESSSSSSS!!!

Hiya guys, weekends 'ere again! Getting the itch......it's about time this got bettered....... Be seeing you!

You've been downgraded to 'ok' as you bought a mini iirc mate. Oh and you support wolves. HTH. :kissingheart:

I'm certainly giving this some consideration.

The 5th gear ratio on the pms website is the gear ratio you're after mate.

Finding it too high? Jc5 106 5th gear will help that. I have part numbers somewhere if you need them.

For what you're doing I'm amazed that you're not finding them too soft tbh. Only way to get the rear lower is custom rear springs, or go for coilover rear.
