Nice work bobby. I went out in toms clio today (Christopher's old ph1) and I was surprised on how comfy and well handling the h&r's were. However I would of thought they'd have damping adjustment considering the price of them new :S

Thought was closer to the £1k Mark? Maybe they've come down in price. They was decent tbf but I just would of thought they'd come with damping adjustability.
Update
with the track day booked for February I kept thinking about tyres and even though the maxxis feel quite good and look to get quite good reviews I wanted to try the AD08R's out so yesterday I ordered some and this morning they arrived...

stayed behind at work to day to get them on and now I just need to sell the maxxis to get them out the way.

What are your maxxis like on the road? I would have them off you but there for 16's 
Na definetly not damper adjustable. I think they can be had for cheaper than 1k, your probably just looking on k-tec's website
Ktec dont sell H&Rs but Euro Car Part's do.
Im going for the BC Racing set, £750 and damping adjustable. They even do different spring rate's.
Im hoping to come to Bedford, ill only be in my van though.

Bobbys on 15's
Great decision! I have these too
Yeah I've only heard good things about them, I look forward to trying them once they've scrubbed in and it bloody stops raining!

Yeah their good as a road tyre, especially in the wet. Their for 15's, not 16's...
I thought you was going to bring the ph1 until I got to the van bit! Lol.
If your wanting to get rid of the old ones, drop me a pm with some pics and a price and I'll see what I can do
If they have some life left in them
Im actually in real need of some before i find a ditch

H&rs are 912 new. Although there not adjustable they stiffen up when cornering hard which stops the body roll

I absolutely love these tyres!!!
Also where did you get the car mats from? I defo need another set of those, finish the interior off nicely
Not sure yet, I'm torn between going all stripped out or just upgrade the cup interior to FF interior and maybe some treadlines, we're see, just want to get it driving proper first before I worry too much about that.

Yeah they do make all the difference, I've had to have a set in every RS I've had! Got them from my work and was a tad under £50 I think.
See above Tom
XC90, 330d, Trophy’s
I need to have some more back injections, and the date they have given me is Friday the 14th for my next appointment, and it can have me laid up for a few days afterwards, the trackday could be asking for trouble if I try to push myself to soon.
but saying that, the Trophy wouldn't be ready in time anyhow, so the next planned outing for it will be the ring in April and then again in may

Update.
So yesterday was a day to start fixing all the niggly little issues.
first up, the car is a bit hesitant to start so checked the battery, that was fine, checked all the earth and live feeds, they seems all ok so its looking like a starter motor so ive got one of them on the way from a fellow CS member.
When playing around in the engine bay I saw the TB was a bit dirty so cleaned that up.

All cleaned.
DSC_0193 by bobby683, on Flickr
The bearing for the drivers side top mount turned up as well so got that on.

A couple pics of the old vs new, new being on the left, old on the right.

Next up I cut the little bit of plastic that sits in the fog light hole as they annoy me.
DSC_0204 by bobby683, on Flickr
Had an oil leak from the gearbox area so cleaned it all up and run the engine for a bit, found the oil coming though the seal between the casing and the 5th gear cover. going to look into the best method for fixing this, probably a new seal of mastic.

Next, the central locking kept locking even when I had the boot open, it's as the sensor wasn't registering that the boot was open, so I whipped the boot trim off to find this.
DSC_0209 by bobby683, on Flickr
DSC_0210 by bobby683, on Flickr
Connection for the sensor in the catch had corroded and snapped off so that's on my list of bits to get.
Next up was the bullets, they had been carbon wrapped and I wanted them back to standard so removed the wrap.
DSC_0207 by bobby683, on Flickr
One of them was like this underneath the wrap.
DSC_0206 by bobby683, on Flickr
Luckily the paint just scrapped off with a Stanley blade, so they came out like this.
DSC_0208 by bobby683, on Flickr
I also removed all the stickers, the sun strip and the carbon wrap on the rear diamond.
That's about it for now

Update.
Had my smaller steering wheel turned up the other day and fitted it shortly after, it has seen better days but I got it cheap so cant complain.
IMG_2005 by bobby683, on Flickr
I decided to remove the omp cap off the little trim that sits in the middle
IMG_2005 by bobby683, on Flickr
The handbrake wasn't working that well and I found the o/s/r calliper to be causing that so have a replacement on the way.
Also have some camber bolts on the way so more camber soon.

Nice one dude, what size is the wheel?
Do you still have the cap from the trim in the middle?

If thats ok matey Keep a hold of it and i'll pick it up some time
Keep a hold of it and i'll pick it up some time I got a few more jobs rattled out this weekend.
their was a slight bit of play in the passenger side bottom ball joint so I replaced that.
Also after bringing the ride height up a bit the other week the tracking was quite away out so I needed to adjust the inner rack joints, unfortunately the drivers side one was seized solid so I had to cut the inner rack joint in half to remove it and I replaced the track rod end at the same time for good measure.
on a couple tight roundabout i've noticed the wheels rubbing slightly on part of the arches so I wanted to get this sorted before the track day.
see the black line, that's what I plan to cut to.
next up was the gearbox oil leak, at first I thought it was just going to be a new seal needed on the 5th gear cover but when I got the cover off I soon found something else...
so yeah, the casing is f**ked so im trying to source a new box atm should hopfully be able to get one within a week and then ill have to take a couple days off work to get it sorted, very frustrating but these things happen.
