I designed this at work the other day and wondered what you guys thought of it? In your honest opinion would you buy one and put it on your car or would you go for oem? The finished product will be painted satin black and have proper bolts. Pictures: http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_lauren...

Knocked up a new oil cooler grill at work as mine was missing. What do you guys think? http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/91eedb5e.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/47ebee9f.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/e700a6e8.jpg http://i348.photob...

Great service, quick postage and great communication

cheers buddy

How harsh a ride was that on the road? I only drive the car a few nights a week so I'm not too bothered but the isle of wights roads aren't the smoothest lol

So if I aim around 400lb with a b8 damper and soften the front arb it should have a nice effect on the handling...

In the above droplink pictures. If I put the droplink on the further mounting hole that should soften it shouldn't it? And I think I will be investing in some stiffer springs soon

what do all the track boys run on the front around 155lb?

I think a softer front arb would help me. I am hoping to do track days next year so LSD will be useful in the long run. For auto testing a rwd is not ideal unless you have a caterham type vehicle. Small fwd cars fair better. I want to review the front suspension set up aswell hopefully either some p...

Cheers guys. Oh I must have a rare colour then :p

Some more pictures from the latest event I did :) http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/DSC_3198.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/DSC_3199.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/DSC_3220.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/DSC...

Right, well i have started replacing the drop links on the fron tof the car. Did one, was a pain in the arse :-/ Had to cut it off and grind it back as the bush was just spinning so couldn't get a grip on it. I refitted the new one but it seems like its at a funny angle... took some pictures to show...

ah right i understand. Think ill just carry on replacing everything untill it stops lol

Anyone????

I know this is a bit of a thread bump but why would this indicate to a leaky rack/gearbox? I have similar symptoms and diagnosing it is proving tricky...

Gave her a bit of a clean yesterday. Will take some more pictures later :) http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/c00424fe.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/d7f38f5c.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/a2e1f1f7.jpg http://i348.photobucket.com/al...

Well I've replaced both wishbones and bushes on the front, had to get hold of a few parts that were broken. Next on the list is some droplinks as they look worn, any reccomendations on what droplinks are the best to get? Bmw ones or are ebay items just as good? RE: the colour, I will look at the col...

Sure it isn't Burgundrot though? Doesn't look like calypso to me?

I'm not sure of the colour tbh, I was told it is calypso, where is the paint code and what code am I looking for....

Cheers mate

there are a bit red when indicating but they have an orange tinge to them at night apparently

This was a fellow competiter, he had slightly more body roll than i did lol...

yeah, I hadn't stiffened up the damping back up so it was a bit wallowey, but the corner was a very tight 180 with quite a fast entry so was scrubbing off alot of speed...

Some pictures from the autotest i did on saturday, was having problems with snap understeer which i have pinned on worn balljoints and having an open diff, all of which will be changed shortly :) http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q356/iw_laurence/5846909458_b96a82702d_o.jpg http://i348.photobucket....

Front arms and E30 M3 bushes ordered, arms turned up today and bushes are at the main dealer waiting for collection

Will also Upload some pictures from an autotest i did on saturday...

Mine is a 325, is that the same setup as the 318?

Have you got a link to the ECP arms? Also I want to be able to tweak the suspension setup of the car so any adjustability is a bonus. I will be getting adjustable top mounts in the not to distant future aswell...

Right well it passed it's mot saturday and one of the advisories was both ball joints worn. Now I want to replace them and done a little reading and found it's probably more cost effective to replace the lower arms. Is there any good modifications I can do for example updated bushes that's worth doi...

New rear lights...

Cheers guys

I wouldnt know the exact colour. Anyone got a clear picture of each for comparison?

Cheers mate, it really feels like its taking shape now
