Buying an exige instead

Well thought it was about time I updated this again
Over winter I spent a bit of cash and picked up these
Fitted them along with a few extra bits
172 cup subframe for extra width
172 cup wishbones for extra castor
Arb polybushes
Wishbones polybushes
Wishbones also had new ball joints
Got some PMS top mounts to go with the KWs
Definitely needed...
Some pics of the KWs fitted
New brakes on the rear as well, calipers came of a cup that I broke
In the engine bay I removed the AC and fitted some lower RS stamped inlets, again came off the cup
Back on the road
With clio_stu and arg_carra
That's about it!

You should have a large washer/spacer for your top mounts son, goes between the bolts and the shell
I know! The person I bought then off had the brace so didn't have them, I've not got round to buying new ones yet
Get the brace bought then, you'll have that in spare change in the nav
Getting fook all spent on it now, already spent more than I wanted to so nothing till next winter if its still alive
In that case email PMS and get the spacer, it's needed in their opinion and I trust that! They won't be expensive on their own
There only a tenner John, and on there website to buy separately I'm just a lazy bam!!
It feels a lot firmer and more responsive, but with pretty much every component in this area being changed its hard to tell how much of a difference they made!

I have some going spare, can sort out a deal with those bits I'm needing from you.
Out of interest how much bigger was the cup subframe compared to your ph1 from wishbone to wishbone hole?
Some of the washers?? Would be ideal if you do!
I never actually measured, forgot to and by the time I remember I had it fitted, I think it's about 5mm a side though! Purely the position of the wishbones holes

I have the big pieces with 3 holes drilled in them for the bolts (far left)

Ahh still need to look into that
Well, since the track session is beginning, I treated myself to new discs and pads.
I didn't need either, it was just want!
So off came the DS2500 and brembo HC.
I ran these all last year, covering 8k and 5 track days! And both still have plenty life, there on the shelf for spares!!
And on went these
New brembo HCs and a set of Carbon Lorraine RC6s
With the new KWs
I went for a 10 minute blast and my god they are amazing!! Saw a couple sparks to start off with, once they have heat in then they are just brilliant! They don't half squeal at low speeds/light braking, but the car gets used at the weekends, and not every weekend so ill happily live with it!
Need to get more IronX on order!!

Ye that's me! Just need to get out there! Looks like the Hot hatch day on the 21st will be it!
Those ds2500's/hc dics's the one i sold you? if so theyve done well lol.
Pretty sure they ended up on MichaelFoz's car after he killed his discs and pads at Knockhill lol
I knew they ended up with you boys somewhere!
Ye mine still had loads of life, the ones I bought off you were for spares really, I did fit the rears though! I ended up selling them to sponge as I knew I was going for something I little more aggressive!
Was great mate, really enjoyed it! Can't wait to get back out now!!
The RC6s were unreal! They stop you insanely quick and not a touch of fade all night!
What were you in bud?

You spat some pretty big flames Neil!
Hoooooold on a minute! Did I not sell you bits?!
Ahhhh I see! Sorry mate I have a truly horrific memory haha! Your car was in at sitech at the time being mapped when you came and got them! How is it? Don't think I'll be keeping up with you on the bodies haha! Car looked good! I can remember letting you past when I was having a cool down before heading in!
Your probably right!
Was always lifting off them before a corner so I didn't slow down to much! Hard to judge coming from the DS2500! Hopefully used to it a little more next time!
Tbh mate the amount of changes I made in one go its hard to tell what's done what!
Feels great on track now tho!

Did hear a good few pops and bangs out on track on over run and gear change, just glad it made another trouble free day before it goes on a diet.
You out again this month bud? I'm booked for 21st and 25th haha
