Good work mate

ROB91 · Sep 17, 2013

Cheers, lots more to do

welshname · Sep 17, 2013

Mental. Looks awesome but I'm awaiting the "seats for sale" thread, and the inevitable move back to a clio LOL

f0xy · Sep 17, 2013

Read: Shell will be scrapped in 12 months like the Clio*

welshname · Sep 17, 2013

Not just me that thinks that then, Jord?

He's so indecisive.

ROB91 · Sep 17, 2013

Haha yeah yeah lol....

ROB91 · Sep 18, 2013

Had a call from Ktec as I ordered a subframe from them on Monday, saying they don't have them in stock, they have a batch that are at the powdercoaters and they MIGHT be here for the end of the month.... :banghead: And AST have said the coilovers will be I the UK next week, but they need building...... May have them in the next few weeks :hail:

ROB91 · Oct 1, 2013

Well abit of an update, the subframe arrived from ktec which is all good, the seat is ready and waiting to be fitted ready for Blyton on Saturday. Still having problems with the AST's (god knows where there upto with them) get a different delivery date everytime I speak to them, I've been told they may be here next week but that's not set in stone

. Was hoping to get the on and ready for Blyton but that's not going to happen. Few other little bits turned up over the last few days, will get some photos tomorrow.

Joe# · Oct 1, 2013

Fingers crossed they'll be on the car for Oulton mate!

Ash. · Oct 2, 2013

I don't think they will come till Christmas dude!

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

Well today was the day I finally took delivery of my AST Sportline 2's

ive booked the car in at Blink Motorsport near oulton park for a full alignment and setup next Friday afternoon. Then it's all set apart from the new discs and pads, for Oulton on the 16th November

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

May aswel share another update, after Blyton Park a few weeks ago whilst we were driving home the car decided to make a really high pitched grinding noise, anyway it didn't sounds too good as you can expect. I thought one of the brake pads were running a little low. Didn't think anything of it until the car had been left for a couple of weeks and I saw the drivers side wheel was starting to develop rather a lot of rust. Took the wheel off to inspect and found this

now the right hand side pad looked to be sat completely on the disc, removed it and found this

no pad material left at all. The rest of the front pads all had around 3mm of material left. I've ordered up another set of ferodo ds1.11 pads for the front and some new Brembo HC discs, which I'll put on a few days before oulton. Running with standard pads for the next few weeks until all of those are fitted. Standard pads = sh1te lol.

welshname · Oct 23, 2013

Love the coilovers. Looks like a proper bit of kit.

Hopefully they're worth the wait!

Joe# · Oct 23, 2013

Suspension p**n!

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

Cheers be even better once there on and set up. Going to be running 3 degrees of camber and 1mm toe out

. Just need to order some spacers once there fitted

just need joe to come and give it another detail..... What you say mate? Haha

Joe# · Oct 23, 2013

Yeah boii!

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

Need to find something to put on the coilovers to help protect them before they go on...... Any ideas?

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

Don't know if something similar to this would be any good, or just general coilover protector spray?

welshname · Oct 23, 2013

HSD coilovers get shipped with motorbike chain lube. It's sticky as hell though and on a new set of coilovers gives more resistance when adjusting the collars. I'd get them on the car first then spray them.

ROB91 · Oct 23, 2013

Don't want to put anything that's really sticky on mate. Just want something that's kind of waterproof. Don't want them to get covered in rubbish as soon as I go out in the car lol. I'll have a look around and see what's about.

Fletcher · Oct 24, 2013

5 year old H&R's Rob. I will more than likely get a set of AST's next.

Silicone lubricant should do the trick mate. Available in Halfrauds http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_214714_langId_-1_categoryId_255223

Pretty sure it's similar stuff to what FK send out with their coilovers.

172CupAdam · Oct 24, 2013

What about some coilover covers, just search it on eBay. May just stop dirt and grit sticking to the lube. Also love what your doin with the Meg. Need to get mine on track soon.

ROB91 · Oct 24, 2013

I'll have a look James see what it's like. Looks ok though, may be worth a shot?

I've thought about them Adam, wouldn't they just he water against the shock?

Chees, didn't intend to be going down this line with the car when I bought it but the track day bug just won't leave me alone

. Have you any track days booked?

Yeah, should repel any water and it's safe to use on them too.

Going to buy some later on today. Once there fitted ill give them a spray and see how I get on with that. Should be ok I think, good find James.

JamesBryan · Oct 24, 2013

Just give it a quick test on part of one before doing the whole lot, to see what it's like.

Thats an idea.... I would have coated them all in the stuff haha. I think I need to get myself another GoPro also sold mine a while back, itching for another now

imprezaworks · Oct 24, 2013

I was going to ask where you are going to fit the go pro?
