Never rule it out. I know my subframe is bent, but I can't rule out the worst case.

When is the next track outing Naith? I'd like to see what the KW V3's are like before splashing the cash on a set for my R26.
No one else could have pulled that off
Or would have bothered to even try!
wont be soon mate, the suspension has gone worse today after the gold cup at oulton.
i've just got a part time job so after bills are cleared the winter will involve getting her mint again. i need two clamps/plates or whatever they are called that bolt the beam to the chassis, i have one for sure in the garage, not 100% if i ever got the second. hoping them being replaced with a full geo setup and corner weighting session will straighten the thing up, its like im riding a shot bull at the moment, its actually horrible... then i can get my studs/nuts on and start to enjoy it again.
50/50 on stripping the rear suspension off this week and rebuilding it with fresh beam to chassis plates as the one that took the whack is obviously damaged.
even with what you say it just adds to it being the brackets dont it, i mean they took a fair whack and everythings been replaced at the back bar them, welll the coilovers too but not gonna be them... gonna get them sorted asap (like this week) as i've not driven the car in anger since november....
reete, driving from oulton the front decided to lose its ability to hold the rear in line so i'm pulling the car from the road and sorting the back once and for all. then the droplinks at the front and general geo.
when we fitted the rear suspension i STUPIDLY never fitted new hub to chassis plates. i have one here and p@blo sorting me another this week. sunday in between BTCC and my hangover i'll be sorting it out. so in essence i'm undoing all the rebuilding work i did on the rear lol... but after looking at various things it can only be that and i am NOT going to give up.
being at oulton yesterday and sat watching bloody topgear all day has further added to my urge to fix it, enthusiasm naithan, enthusiasm...
so this is the new part, its dirty not rubbish. well maybe it is but its straight. i think.
oh and the 6mm spacers, may as well post a pic.
brb just off to kill myself.

Pretty easy if i remember rightly. It's all pretty accessible in terms of fuel rail anyway.
There's a guide on Megsort also.

All has gone quiet on here recently, truth be told the megs been the least of my worries, some will know I've been running the KA now for abit anyway. It was my birthday weekend just gone so i bought something i've been after for a long time after saving for abit.
not only are they rare on megs, they are rare full stop.
In 18", their offset sits at ET50, which in plain english means they will be wider in the arch sort of giving a touring car look, I honestly nearly squealed when i opened the box, they are absolutely stunning, r riad has took some proper pics but i'm putting these up now as i couldnt wait. I was noseying around demon tweeks last week and one of their experts ended up telling me the wheel is heavy, old and crap...
old? brand new in box....
crap? used from F1 to lemans
heavy?
not that i need to justify it to that random or anyone but there we go...
Huge thanks to Nic at Renault specialist breakers in Accrington, friendly service as always. Next week the wheels will be getting powder coated. Part of me loves the silver and the OEMness but its not what the car is all about. I know they'll look mean as hell in gloss black too, so there we go... the rear is off next week too and new chassis plates are going on before BTM fit the studs and nuts.
Missed out on ebay by 50p for a rallyesque battery box, with the cold the race battery is bobbins, it cant hold its charge to save its life, so i'll be getting a clio battery (slightly smaller than the meganes) and running the wiring to the boot floor, thus freeing up some bay space where the new intake will go that i'm having built...
