nice work chap :)

If the combo with the cooks is causing other issues such as the reported clicking and clunking I suspect it's misloading the mount/bearing somehow and as such putting un uniform load through the shocker. I presume that could kipper a shocker fairly quickly

dude, this thread has cropped up more than once saying that cooksports, standard shockers and solid top mounts don't mix well and cause issues. more than likely the combo is killing the shocks? you have pures correct?

as in the pic, the bump stop and dust cover are one part and simply slip over the shaft of the shocker...........similar to how you learnt it in GCSE sex ed ;)

could be, if you've hit the stops of the shockers rather than the bumpstop as its not there it would probably of damaged the shockers, thus leading to them wearing quickly

it'd be my first port of call, I had issues with my Leda coilovers on the mk1 with AST solid top mounts, standard rubbers they were fine, with the ASTs they rattled and squeaked all over FK's were fine on the AST weird! lol!

tin worm mate tbh, that's the biggest killer, well peoples lack of willingness to fix said worm issues anyway

is it just me or do fingers seem to be pointing in the wrong direction here?? most with issues have solid top mounts it seems??

lol, I had a quote fail and was actually replied to matey with the phase 1 19 16v..........however it hold true for the LY as well! :)

rofl, theres a reason for that tho, no one bought one back then so there never was any anyway ;)

not totally, the theory is right, at full extension with very short springs a standard shocker would allow for the spring to unseat and rattle etc. however not true for the cooks, I didn't have to use spring compressors to fit them, but at full extension once holding nut was wound up tight there...

its getting spanner onto the bolts more than anything to slacken the rack mounts off from the subframe. inner arms again it just depends, if they are murder tight it'll be a fight!

due to the space there, total ballache I reckon. they are a pain on the mk1 and theres more space on them

35mm I think is the official spiel for cooksports? not sure why they would cause an issue, I've used lower springs on standard shocks before in the mk1 with no issues at all, so I doubt its that. and as said, mine is on standard top mounts, standard cup shockers and the cooksports and I have...

you reckon you guys have problems, try owning several mark 1's there is literally sod all left of that market now, died a death in the last couple of years :(

I've used them for years on the turbo, they were good but never great until I put RC6 pads in them, then they were savage! never had a problem with them at all though, worked fine, never leaked and did a fair number of track days with them, only issue I did have was boiling the fluid, although...

had mine on for good while now on standard 30k odd original cup shocks, no issues at all, no clanging, jumping, movement or anything

glad you got it back :)

heres cooksports with 15's at et37 195/50 R15 Michelin PE2's with 15mm front and 10mm rear spacers, they catch a bit from time to time. without the spacers they'd be fine, the standard wheels on this setup on 205 tyres and et43 don't rub at all ever IMG_6985 by Coops_Turbo, on Flickr

rofl, man logic!love it! :)

welcome, 1200 for dirty licence in London (no reflection on your character i'm sure...lol) isn't too bad tbh

lovely buy chap, enjoy definitely NOT however the best colour ;) ;)

lovely little project, keep up the good work as above though, don't risk the fun with those sheep plates for fools, get some nice pressed legal ones with legal font, they look the danglies!

i always use second hand performance parts, and stainless exhausts are a definite worthy second hand purchase, none of the depreciation of new and wont depreciate again either really, buy one for 250 max sell it on for 250, no loss for using it

RS192 is pretty much like standard, as is janspeed silenced version, yozza/scorpion etc are a bit more on the......rowdy side shall we say, sound awesome but really grate after a while ime

mk1 :star:

reiterate above, top dollar asking price means top dollar advert required, list it well and it will sell ;)

google btm performance mate to get freds number, not rocket science is it ;)

15's are fine and weapon of choice for many a track day user as work out cheaper for tyres etc.

looks a bit weird imo workmanship looks pretty decent though!
