You can retain the original spring and you don't need to shim it either to up the pressure. Just need to be a bit clever about what your doing.

Yeah the original seats had airbags in them - that's one of the reasons they're ridiculously heavy! You'll need resistors for the the recaros to fool the airbag ecu into thinking they're still connected.

r-sport in Wimbledon will be able to supply that. Make sure your sat down though when they give you the price!!

The cup racers were about 1000lb front springs iirc. Gum shield was an optional extra apparently! Lol!

Lol @ very up north!! Did you come through Lincoln tony or did you go via sleaford? There's some right wrong un's originate from Lincoln you know! ;)

​My thermoformed rear qtrs look pretty much flat anyway Tom, so I can't see the flats looking to bad tbh.

You can mod the pump to gain higher oil pressure. They also need de-burring internally as there's some nasty castings in the ones I've seen/done

Very very very nice kenny!! I'm definitely liking the look of them!!

Have you jacked your car up and checked for any movement in the rear beam out of interest? After seeing big gash's misfortunes, it definitely sowed a seed of doubt in my mind for mine - hence checking it. I would've expected the toe in on the rear of yours to make it more stable as well tbh...

:o Oops - must've been a typo there!! Lol!

For those that have the pms rear beam kit fitted, James has spoken to nick @ pms today and on James's car it's purely looking like a complete one off. I spoke to big gash whilst he was on his lunch break today and this is the general gist of what nick told him: 1) He's never ever had an issue...

That random Belgian service station is called rotselaar! And yes it is sad that I know that just from seeing a picture! Lol

I think I paid about £120 delivered for a custom pair of rear springs.

​If they were as s**t as their site mate, I wouldn't use them!! They supplied the custom rear springs for my track cup.

The 5 spokes need to be in mint condition to pull off the 'aggressive' look though imo.

Lol! Sounds like you've got yourself a keeper there then mate! Yeah definitely sounds like the most sensible thing to do though doesn't it. No point travelling for 40 miles when you could travel 4mtrs! Lol! Ooh Penske eh!! Very very nice mate. I'm looking forward to seeing them. :) I can test...

Excellent news on the house Kenny! Disappointing news on the lack of suspension pictures though! Lol! I like the way your going to concentrate on getting the garage built before doing any work inside the house though!

Exactly that mate!

A mate of mine can do them for £180. That includes removal and refitting of the tyres (incl balancing) and acid dipping them to remove the old shite. They're then painted in pretty much whatever colour you could think to ask for!

http://www.coilsprings.co.uk/ Please, please, please ignore the chavvish write up on their site about slammed and subwoofer gayness. They are extremely good at what they do!!

This James. Let me know if you want to get it done. I'm sure martin!martin! can do it for you.

I was there last weekend too! Can't remember seeing you though. Lol!

Nah they changed the shape of the exhaust ports on the later 182 heads. Early ph2 172 had oval and 182's had the rectangular shaped ports. Emission related iirc.

They are with green wheels and rollcage painted to match! Lol!

​No mate not me then. I was in the car pictured in my avatar!

That may well have been me??

pretty similar to the f4r then really!! Not!! Lol

I drive a mk5 1.6 golf match as my daily drive and tbh I'm glad I do!! The Clio as much fun as it is, would boil my urine if I had to drive it on a daily basis! I like the comfort and the gadgets of the golf to much as well! Cup is just a toy really. The lad over the road has a mugen civic...

See that's the difference for me with the Astra as its the engine, box, suspension and fuel system that are worth the money to make stripping it feasible. I didn't have a cage as the car was a 2bar boost sleeper! Caught many an unsuspecting supercar driver out in that car! The bodyshell is in...
