As above, I have already undone and removed all of these and did try pushing down with some weight on the hub. Either springing back, although I felt virtually no movement or not exerting enough pressure. Hence, think its best to get a mate to help push down the hub and I can hopefully extract the shocker and spring.

Got the clamps turned down a fair way - enough to get the top of the spring of the underside of the arch by a few millimetres - I could try more turns.

May have to resort to that, but the bolts/nuts undone so far were hard work as obviously not touched for years. If I remove the whole lot - I reckon it could take a very long time !!!

Thanks for the advice Yes car was jacked up both sides. ARB links still in place - tried to undo one as the whole hub assembly looks like its being prevented from dropping by it. However after a few turns of the nut the extended washer lug (other side of bracket)which I assume is designed to prevent rotation (like having spanners either end of a bolt) just keeps turning - tried putting a spanner and then a screwdriver under it to stop the rotation, but to no avail How do you undo these damn things ??!?!?!? Sounds like I need to get a mate to come and help me and then we can attack it with some brute force and ignorance. Anyone else got any other suggestions / experiences ???

Have followed the excellent pictorial guides to remove the rear shock absorber, but I am struggling to actually remove the existing Bilstein shocker which is on a standard spring. I have used spring compressor clamps and the three bolts in the boot have been undone.. When I knocked out and removed the bottom securing bolt from the 'U' shaped bracket at the end of the shocker,the bracket simply slid down the rear suspension arm (outwards) and I can't get the hub assembly to drop at all. I have tried jacking the other side of the car but to no affect. Any ideas how to get the hub assembly to drop and hence allow the shocker to be removed ??? Thanks H

Regardless of this result - all bodes well for City's future This team has only been playing together for a short time and will no doubt get a lot better. Also if Adebayor and Robinho had been available what would have happened then ??? City might have still been out played on the park, but would possibly have scored more goals even with a poor defence. Look forward to the return game - I suspect Fergie will be more than pleased to win that one !!!

Lost my engine undertray (2nd one in) last week on track at Zandvoort at 120mph Just wanted to know pros and cons of having one on or off the Supra ??? Notice a fair bit more road noise at higher speeds when blatting across Europe. Tray is only damaged around some of the fixing holes, so assume shouldn't be too difficult to refit ?

Great track and had a perfect dry day to enjoy it Not so great loosing the undertray at 120mph ! Need to decide if worth refitting it ???

Yes will be spending a few days in Amsterdam afterwards - what trackday ???

Doing a track day at Zandvoort next week Anyone been recently ? Experiences - good or bad ?

Found some front UK pads in the shed and can't remember where/when I got them (yes I must be losing my marbles !). Only info on them is 2/04 and no other markings - anyone got any ideas as to what make these are ??? Thanks H

That was me - no worries, I was to slow to clock you and wave but did notice the car H

Time and money - had to cancel this last year for a Ring trip and haven't booked this year due to holiday in August - based around a track day at Zandvoort We'll join you one day, I'm sure ...........

The one on track? I thought his was the one in the car park, but am probably wrong There were definitely two blue ones there on Saturday ............

I took a few pics on Saturday of a blue Supra plus a couple of Chris and Jo's scooby - they are HERE if anyone is interested:) Would have loved to have seen you all on track on the Sunday but the timing just didn't work Maybe next time ........ Cheers, Jane

Thanks for the seats Rob and helping me to lug them out to the car Blimey those things are heavier than they look Good luck with the move and getting your car on track H

:If you pm me I'll come round tonight and collect them off you if that's ok ? Thanks

Good to see you guys had a great day and eventually dry. We were lucky on the saturday - dry all day and only a couple of short stoppages. Sorry didn't get back to the track to say hi on Sunday - too much enjoyment saturday night and had to have a serious lie in, so then cracked on back to sunny Dorset. Rockingham was fun despite all those hairpins and our cars (mates with GTR's) being outgunned by some very serious lightweight machinery on saturday - Radicals are so ten a penny these days
