It will cost and we'll have to see how busy the machine shop is as its not a 5 second job
Or I could be interested in the spacers if you were to sell and buy smaller Paul.
Cheers matey and thanks again for them. Well happy with them!!
I've removed the rears. Micks had them back.
Looks horrible without the rear spacers. Dat tuck.
Just got back from Diamond Motors. Another quality bit of service. Track rod end changed.
I don't like my exhaust scraping on the way out LOL.
Going to look into the spacers with camber, as 10mm looks soo good and sack raising the suspension.
In that case - needs more camber and lower lol
Nah looks absolutely ****-on
My front is currently about 10mm lower than yours and on any amount of hard cornering it rubs like a b**ch and that's with -3 degrees of camber
Lol. I am tempted to go about 5mm more on the front, but I think that'll be the limit on lows, as it's already scraping in some areas.
Going to sort the camber shims for the rear though, so that I can space it out again.
It goes in for geometry today. Since changing the TRE it's felt horrible, so can't wait to get this done and finally be abable to drive it properly.

Detailed the car today. Looks great. I'm going to sort a proper write up tomorrow, but for now, here's one crap photo to show...

Detail
So with show season now coming and with yesterday being the only spare day I have for a couple months, it was time to get the Sunflower detailed and start to tackle all these swirls. Unfortunately, I ended up being out until gone 3am on Friday, so when the alarm went off, it wasn't well received.
I forced myself to get it done, so didn't really take any photos before or during, as I just wanted to beast through it.
Here's a breakdown of the main products that I used during the day, as I know some have already been asking me:
- AF Snow Foam
- AF ObliTARate
- AF Iron Out
- AF Soul
- Wonder Wheels (tried out Tesco's finest wheel cleaner - isn't too bad for the money, I definitely prefer my Bilberry)
- 3M pads
- Menzerna IP2100 PO96 (I think it was - Whichever one is quite an abrasive polish. I wanted one that would hit the paint hard, as most of the swirls that are on the car are deep, which wouldn't get touched by lighter compounds)
- Gtechniq G1 & G2
- I was planning to give it an initial layer of AF Tough Coat, but for some reason the spray head didn't want to work, so instead of fannying around, I just went straight onto layering up wax.
So onto the photos from after. It genuinely does look wicked. So pleased with how it's come out, especially considering it was a hungover detail. It's certainly not swirl free, but is looking very well for a 13 year old car.

This photo demonstrates how much I need to sort out the rear spacers. Hopefully will get hold of a set with camber this week.
Too. Much. Tuck.

Who's fitting them? LoLz
I think my dad and I may attempt this one. Probably wont end well.
I keep changin my plans for the car. Think once I've been paid, it's all going to be about refreshing suspension/steering components.
I also want to respray the interior grab handles, so they look less grubby.

Car looks epic mate, thought you had 10mm rear spacers?

I have visions of one wheel toeing out and the other having +10° camber lol
Woooah steady there son
Cheers matey. It did have, but they scrubbed once the coilovers were fitted, so I'm having to go down the hub spacer route now.
You may have an epic supercharged beast, but I will make sure that I always own the cleanest flower LOL.Although, maybe a bit passed it. Fancy a challange yet?
I can see them accidentally going on the front, or something else equally as retarded.

Looks stunning after your detailing.
Need to get a day or two and get onto mine.

UPDATE
Last week, I decided to sort out some paint and respray the grab handles, as they were looking ridiculous.
Quick prep.
And done.
Not the best job in the world, but a massive improvement on what it was. Already took a chunk of paint out of one, being a mong.
I also removed my rear seats, as now it's getting hot, ill be transporting the bike around quite a bit more. Makes it much easier when I haven't got them in.
Also gives a bit more exhaust noise, which I can't complain about.
Moving on.... Today, we fitted my M.A.D. rear hub 10mm spacers with -1degree of camber.
Started like this:
I got to use my new cheapo low jack today.
Worked a treat .
Got rake?
After:
I'm happy again now that the rear is spaced out. It looked so wrong when I had to remove the normal 10mm spacers. Too much tuck.
We also sorted out my heat shield rattle and got it pinned back in place, which is nice.
Oh yeah and yesterday I fitted this:
The car is pretty much sorted for show season now aesthetically, minus uber amounts of cleaning and trying to tackle some swirls.
I'll update tomorrow with some proper photos after it's had a clean, rather than iPhone specials.

Haha Steve. It's epic. I've never loved a car so much.
Phase1sr. The 25mm on the fronts have been fitted for quite a while now. Perfect stance.

Grab handles look a million times better.
Couple of better photos from last night, now that it's had a clean.

Can't decide what to do with it now. It's my birthday this month, so planned to spend a few pennies on it. More wheels, or refresh steering?!

Refresh the steering & remove the nipple ring? Mine was like a new car when i changed all the bushes & track rod ends etc
