ai common issue that, I keep a few discs and bearings on stock as the mk1 is same fitment and uses a few on track days

for handling i'd go sportlines and ARB, I currently have KTECS and they are comfy enough and good for the lows but I sense the handling is not brilliant do have a whiteline to go on though and some standard cup suspension in the shed I may add sportlines to when funds allow and report back :)

I picked up a few part worm Barums for 20 quid a tyre ish in 195/45 I also have 2 mix matched decent nick 195/45's left over, £15 tyre in my for sale thread ;)

you can try to blend but its not easy, for a proper job a bodyshop should be able to blend it but it will be over pretty much the whole 1/4 panel more than likely

only useful on a track car with a rollcage tbh function over form then

my 172 on turbs, loved it like this,

I just use 195/45 as they can be had cheaper!lol! 16" wheels I run for the looks, I buy decent tyres for the 15" as they ride/handle better imo

ahhhhh my eyes, nipple ring fail ;)

ooo, I forgot about the Scones ITB phase 1, love that as well :)

sounds a plan chap, i'll give you a shout when she's a running :)

yawn ;)

bought the Audi then cop out man? :(

bumper inserts defo needed to finish her off :) Paul, the RB should be on the road in the next couple of weeks, but that probably means a filthy car from you....sure you cant be tempted to crack out the jetwash just once to meet the RB ;)

KTEC coilovers are anything but crashy, got to be the smoothest riding coilies i've had. doubt they handle as well as the Leda's like but they make for a comfy daily ride :)

One of the 2 mint sunflowers, Pauls standard beauty or Craigs rediculous modified one for me in terms of clios

ancient, well out of warranty and done about 70k i think, lol! the cost was my concern, they may well be beyond economical repair, no biggie as i have the 30k original cup stuff in the shed but i like the lows!lol!

i could do a weekday eve maybe, or a sunday eve

probably about 150 quid, mostly running about, work costs me about a tank a month so 60 odd

ai i wouldnt even bother with wheels off tbh

looks blummin lovely, i can honestly say this is the nicest phase 1 i know of/seen in the metal :)

I thought I may try direct, but I also guessed they may not be cheap.i'll sling an email their way at any rate cheers

I can see where you coming from but I have black superlegs on the car, so keeping it all dark and moody, lol!

rofl, exact same as my update recently, only I went from yellow mess to black hammerite :)

I think I may of located my rattle from the front, on closer inspection, underneath the taped to protect the adjustment threads, my front nearside coilover strut has been weeping a bit of oil. I suspect its fubar now thing is they are only cheapy cheap ktec coilies so I don't want to be...

I trial fitted my liner from the phase 1, the under arch clips fit and it butts up to the arch/bumper at the side but doesn't really fit properly, I have just secured it in place with some self tappers and zip ties, it'll do for now I have sourced a second hand set of liners now so will fit...

cheers chap, I have since refitted the front bumper and arch liners. all I need to do now is re-seal the exhaust and the cars good to go on the road, so I will get some decent pics up with any luck :) Ben

8th October 2012 Attacked the brakes and the splitter showed up as well so thats the last of the yellow highlights gone from the car, looking slightly more stealthy than before which i prefer old: new: treated the rust i found, all surface so no worries :) scrubbed back...
