Stevie at Grinspeed is a legend mate, well worth asking him how much, did my Geo set up a while ago!

lol! mine was done without lifts too, its a fairly simple job if you know what your doing, should take 4 hours ish i recon

labour seems a little excessive tbh i only paid £100 for my diff, clutch and flywheel fitting :lol:

definitely, im still a little way off the 1000kg aim, but not far, plastic windows and ABS gone and i should be just about there :D

each to their own, i love it :) 10kg on the boot and 15kg on each door, once i get a cage sorted, plastic windows in i can remove the door bars in the doors, saving another 10kg per door with the plastic windwos in cheers!

Scene points

As some of you know, im a bit of a bargain hunter, and a mate of mine found these for sale for me the other night while browsing eBay, so after som tough negotiationg i managed to agree a deal and i went over with a mate of mine to swap them Bit of a bitch to align up properly and get the...

Pesky chav's stealing my car fitting turbo's then giving them back! *shakes fist* :lol:

Ah! BUT the issue with that is, nobody unless you read this thread would know it was a J's would they, tbh if i heard this go past and didn't know who it was, i would be like - 'bloody chav's buying CTR's putting my insurance up' :lol: But as TarmacNymph say's he's done it for him and that's...

Someone else think if i saw that on a corsa or a clio id instantly think dirty chav? :\

i think im the only one that doesnt like the noise :(

Better pic of it all fitted

All fitted back to the car another good 50-50 from polishing

Decided something was needed to tie the canards in and make the front end look a little meaner, so purchased a mugen front splitter and fitted that at the weekend Had some funny looks driving around with it like this, i have no idea why :scratch: :lol: Then because im a cheap notherner i...

thing is it was a drift race car or what ever you want to call it, no keys, all it will be is a push button start once you have primed the pumps it will start, from what i gather all the did is remove the battery so someone knew what they were doing to find where the battery should sit...

Yeah, makes them so much less maintenance as well when cleaning, just blast the jet wash over them and it all comes straight off :)

Those are wishbones that have been powder coated to stop them rusting, they were off to fit all the polybushes so i thought why not get them done a colour to match my colour scheme ;) tbh, the pics dont do it justice, now its been painted and filed at bit on the edges it looks better I think...
