  1. Lovely colour....nice car. Keep the photos coming! Are the white wheels yours?
  2. Have you considered making some sleeved aluminium bushes to replace the elastomer ones in the stock arms, removing the compliance that way?
  3. Does anybody have an old/unwanted upper or lower arm they would be happy to donate to me. I'd like to look into the balljoint design a little more....
  4. Sorry to hear that mate - w@nkers! Are you parked on the road?
  5. How does it look when not clicked into the lens?
  6. If you're willing to split, how much would you want for just the 3" aluminium pipes, posted?
  7. Can you let us know the tyre brand please?

    Aha - I see. I don't browse through the off topic stuff that often....this title caught my eye on the forum main page. Apologies.

    It's amazing what gets caught on camera. This one is perhaps a little more extreme....no hesitation in a two against one situation.........
  10. Friday morning 7am, ice and snow on road. Very dangerous road conditions near to me and even the diesel astra required very smooth clutch work (with no throttle) to avoid wheel spinning. Anyway, some chap in an MGF seemed to build up reasonable amounts of speed heading onto and around a huge roundabout near me where the ice has melted....he passes me on the inside of this roundabout to head into the outside lane of the same stretch of dual carriageway as I am heading for. Next thing he has done a 180 entering the dual carriageway, drifted across my lane and off the road to my left....he was driving too fast for the conditions, no doubt. Next I'm on the motorway doing 40-45, only the inside lane has tyre tracks; the middle lane had approx 2-3" of snow in it (visible where the odd person has somehow gone across to the central reservation!!). Anyway - five minutes later an old white Subaru Estate screams past at about 70-80. He may well have ample grip to put power down but he would not stop any quicker than me in those conditions. If one of the 40mph cars in the inside lane happened to pull out to the middle lane there could have been bedlum. I would agree that there are quite a lot of people who misjudge braking distances and sensible cornering speeds in this weather. Editted to add main "road hates": Middle lane drivers, fog lights when there's no fog, people who park across two or more carpark spaces.
  11. My cavitites are being insulated in the next couple of weeks so I'll be doing a back to back as long as I can get some similar outside temp conditions. I recall being told as much as 35% through the walls of a reasonable sized detached house and about 20% through the roof. At the moment my double glazing and curtains/blinds does a better job than the 50mm cavity wall construction! Hopefully that's going to change
  12. A couple of shots from last week confirm my suspicions about the bloody cat flap! (Taken from the inside of the house)
  13. Just messing around when I got home from work today........
  14. Good luck - fingers crossed they are helpful.
  15. Are these 10" rears with 50 offsets that you guys have or are you running these slightly different ones?
  16. Would the idea be to use them with stock UK rear calipersand discs or do/could you offer some sort of rear setup as well?
  17. I'm interested in an Alcon kit....do we have any details?
  18. I am interested in these "Rear Trailing arm Front PFR76-606" if they are new and come as a pair for both sides....
  19. You've got me worried now as I just ordered the same clutch from Kyle
  20. I don't suppose you have any of the hotside piping do you Jay?
