That looks wicked, I like the wheels 8) I had my coilovers on hard setting and it was unbearable to use every day :o

Cheers guys,

Tom, yeah my adjusters are the same as yours :wink:

Couldn't drive this every day on the hard setting :oooh:

I was just seeing what it was like ready for the track :)

Well today I took it a bit easier, just a 4 hour bufty session :bonkers: :lol:

Didn't mop the car, it doesn't need it tbh,

Coilovers have settled down and after driving the car for a mile the fronts didn't need to be adjusted further they had settled down to 525mm from ground matching the rear.

Just a cut and polish, & rainex on windows.
Few piccies

That was before I cleaned the RS1800 btw :)

One of the van alloys is cracked Max, :(

so its back to the normal wheels until I find some replacements,

plate was on my Sapphire Cosworth which was a G plate, it reads G2.0 RS :P

Bonnet just needs the support blocks underneath it,

Its not to bad for £45 for a Carbon bonnet though :Q

Ordered lower arms today for it as there was some play in them when I did the suspension yesterday, I want to order up the bits to move the battery this week. :)

Car looks so much better now its had a decent clean :aviator:

What lower arms you getting?

Thought the plate would be something like that but was wondering why the hell you put it on the van!!

Lower arms are off e-bay, not sure on the make, they might last 6 months :bonkers:

Tried selling the plate, then had it on retention for a year so thought sod it I might as well bung it on the van :rolleyes: :lol:

Got a good one coming for the track car though, but I can't say what it is yet :P

Probably does :lol: it lives outside and my car cover blew straight off Monday night :oooh:

Doesn't seem alot of point until I get her tucked inside my garage in a month or so :wink:

xrsi, no your barking up the wrong tree there fella :P

I did look for a "carbon" type plate but none were available :bonkers:

Chris, JNE did rub her headlights when I pulled her cover back :bonkers: :lol:

Very minor update, I've ordered all the bits I need up to relocate battery, should be with me by the weekend, alloy battery bracket is also under construction :aviator:

Also my wheels might be ready for tomorrow :Q :Q
pictures as soon as I have them home :wink:

Also swapping my Red Harnesses for some Blue ones, thanks Henry :wink:

Cheers for all the other comments as well guys.

:D

£45 for the bonnet I assume your saying :wink: ,

I am the For Sale forum troll, check it day and night every 5 minutes :bonkers: :lol: :lol:

Wheels do look good :Q think the will get some steel nuts though, the chrome ones look out of place really. Will have to weight them though :bonkers:

Roof will be ready at the weekend I think,
so should be collecting it off of Luke early next week. :aviator: :aviator:

Cheers fella,

Small update, Super Ts are back from the powder-coaters :Q :Q

They look awesome, no pictures because they are having their boots put back on :wink:
pictures tomorrow though :D

Can't wait to fit them on now, will probably need to nibble the rear arches out a bit as I don't want them to rub at all.

Lots of bits are due in the post so just a question of waiting for them now :oooh: :oooh:

I won an auction for a set of Morettes last week on e-bay,

but after umpteen e-mails I still have not made contact with

the seller ggggggrrrrrrrrrr :x :x

so I might have to look elsewhere for a set :rolleyes:
