Looks very well with the wheels

[ste]

Well met up with silvertooth again today and bought the front 2 advans to give me a full set now...



the fronts are very weak offset and only a 8j but strangly enough this suits me as my car trailer is quite narrow so it helps me in this case..

as ya can see they are in need of a refurb as were the rears so will tackle that tomorrow , i just removed all the locking studs from the wheels this evening..

[PeterT]

not perfect my fucking ring i just split my ssr meshes and the rim is absolute shit have to get it powder coated i say you should throw a few coats of laquer over those itd really help brighten them up and youd get a nice shine off the rim

well after the day in balbriggan it is like a new car to me now..

since mondello i have -

replaced all gaskets, the car now pulls great and boosts nice and steady..

replaced leaking hydro line, still may be air in system didnt work great but might increase handle length

fitted all adjustable arms and sold rear bushes and got it set up by Wez..
this is where i noticed biggest difference.The car was unreal to drive in comparison to before, i had so much more grip than before, no understeer, nice even tire wear and i felt alot more comfortable when transitioning..

all in all had a great day even tried getting close to bales although i gave them a bit of a bang once ha ha

heres the best pic i have found so far
