Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 quick update - had the bearings go in one of the pulleys so taken a little while to get it sorted but found a top place selling all the bits for these chargers and should be here next week.Also going to get some new suspension to drop it a bit further and maybe some spacers to puch the back wheels out a little bit ( yes Craig i took your advice ) and then looking at some new Recaro interior, if anyone has any for sale locally ?? , and some small interior bits - new steering wheel and gear lever. Will get pics up as and when they get put on the car.once all thats been done will start looking at upping the power just a little bit :-p Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looking good mate. What coilies are they and how much did they set you back?cheers mate I went for these in the end http://www.v-maxx.co.uk/coilovers.asp read some good things about them, and they were basically making suspension for other companies to put there name on and charge a lot more so I am led to believe !! cost me the very reasonable sum of £300 Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Result! Let us know how it handles once fitted. I think copper grease is the best thing to use on the threads to stop them seizing up and to make adjustment easier. Don't quote me on that though.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
