cheers dude!
RB Clio 182
Me and @Filters came over to talk to you and you didn’t recognise us 😂
Sorry dude, I thought it was you guys but I was in a world of my own, was shattered haha
You talked...I was being a traitor eyeing up the honda 😂
thats what everyone did .. walked passed mine straight to the honda haha
So i got the harness fitted last week along with a set of new NS2-R's to try out .. first track day should be in a few weeks time if all goes well.
Just gotta get the track rod changed and another alignment to get rid of the inwards toe i have and add another .5 degree camber so im sat at -2.5 (worked on the clio, different car ik but hey worth a go!)
mocked the seat up as well, that should be put ion this week or next if all goes to plan!

Sounds good. Probably easiest to take it off and just cut off the bit that was rubbing with the wheel
Just one picture that I think looks pretty cool!
So now i have time to actually type, Brands amazing, great to take the car and try the suspension out finally. Not realising it was too soft and melting through one of my arch liners kinda sucked so dampening is now mega stiff and looking at getting 7KG springs for front and back to help the handling more.
Had no issues with the engine which was fantastic seeing as it was the first time its been 'thrashed' since it's been built.
Ryan let me have a drive in his 182, I forgot how much fun they where to drive! makes me miss my old one a lot more now but, bigger and better things are here!

A45 hands down for a useable car. Utterly mind blowing things. Exige is amazing, but you've got to be in the mood for it. Right weather etc.
A45 has been on my list for a small while. So I may have to go check them out and have a test drive!
My neighbour had an exige which I’ve wanted since I was 13 but obviously the weather will play a huge toll on it

Elise is also on my radar. Don't think you'll get anything more fun and involving. Sod the AMG!
Been checking out S1 Elise’s as well, mega little things
S1 Elise with a Honda K20 lump in it! [emoji108]
A chap took me out in his for a few laps round Thuxton, and it blew my mind.
I don't know when, but I will be the proud owner of a Lotus at some point in my life that's for damn sure!
Unsure of what model though...
Probably an S2 Exige!

I’ve wanted an S2 Exige since I was 14, now 25 I’m feeling like I need a quarterly life crisis!
The k20 swap is common, it’s a fantastic engine in a great shell!
Yeah I’m finding this out as wel, I’ve piled a fortune into it (some of it it not needed but hey) .. but after something I can just climb in and know I’m not gonna have to spend another 5/6k to get it decent

Mk5 Golf GTI :)
Why though? Is it not good enough as is?
It is yeah, but I think I’m after something I bit different now that already has the power / comfort / practicality as well, I know I made the megane this way but. It’s an amazing car don’t get me wrong but recently I’ve had more fun daily driving a 1.4 fiesta haha

Have dropped the price by a fair amount .. the urge for a new motorbike is here so this needs to go
Wicked morning at fcs .. had to cut half way through the day due to a 3 1/2 hour drive to the Lake District.
Great to see everyone again, and thanks for the help, support and ginger jokes as per.
So I had a squeaking issue a couple of days ago I couldn’t find, had another look today at fcs and realised the shock had come off of the bushing with the bolt intact which ment I was trying to source parts to fix it. It ended up being @.Joe fixing it up for the drive home!
On the phone Monday to get a few spare parts.
