I know its function over looks but it really needs a splitter!

Meggy splitters are very durable imo.
 
the cage is from mark fish motorsport, he has them in stock, im not sure on price as i got mine second hand from FMP.
 
yeah used it today to go pick up a few things, got access to 2 other cars so its alright but its fine to use on the road
 
Got some new AST rear coilover units today and im really impressed with them so far, will update after 1000+ miles to the 'ring this weekend

Awesome. Really tempted by the AST's. Save much weight with them?

V6 spoiler, full detail, tow eyes removed, going to pick up the bumper insert from renault today,

anthracite wheels are coming off, white ones with road legal slicks going on, only having one set of wheels.

Seats are going, standard going back in for the time being, unless someone buys them. will decide on seats next year before any trackdays/ring trip

will need a 36k service soon, cam and aux belts changed etc

really temped by the new supercharger conversion from Ben

rear LEDA units are being serviced so will be better than brand new and should be back next week.

considering relocating the battery to change the air box set up but not worth it if i supercharge

thats about all, its goin in my garage next week and im using our 1.4 because my sister is off to uni
 
its hard to tell because i think my rear LEDA units were ruined a long time ago, i loved the AST's from the moment i put them on, were so much more comfortable,
but now im running the springs from the LEDA kit and the standard 182 rear dampers and its just as comfortable. so god knows what was wrong with the rear dampers.

Hopefully ill get the dampers back next week and can see how well they compare

The LEDA's also look at lot stronger than any sets iv seen. However, If the AST's allowed for more camber up front, there curretnly limited to a max -ve 2 according to Curtis and then that depends on what wheels/tyres ur running, I would probably put the LEDA's up for sale and get AST's. AST's are very stiff with the hard spring choice, still perfectly usable on the road but id consider putting softer springs in, iv got other reasons about grip in wet and dry conditions etc etc but its not worth going into now
 
just decided when i take the seats out for saunday ill take the cage out aswell... might aswell paint the interior to make it look a bit better!
