all im waiting on is my loom and manifolds to come back from Danthe

Adam,.

where did you get the engine mounts from and how much ?

mill auto supplies, there only in the south west, there pattern parts, about £8 each i believe

I see you have been shopping at Wills place

The rack needs to go in the rear holes mate, also get some decent paint on that steering link

Easy job from under the car, if you left the bolts in the right way of course...

yeah there up the right way, thank f*ck for that

finished work today and pushed the car onto the drive to fit some new springs, also got round to moving my steering rack to the right place,

so, got the springs done car sat on its wheels again and then this...



think its time to invest in a sump guard more pennies!

got the loom today from danthe, had abit of an issue but dans expert info over the phone sorted me out, fitted that and chucked everything in place quickly and she fired up first time ,

took everything off again to tidy it all up, gunna put it all together right tomorrow after fitting my new wiper motor and hopefully a decent radiator fan.

Just waiting on my manifolds to arive and ill be all sorted

ill put some more pics up tomorrow

LOL swapped for a bottle of JD!!!!

Bet they are shitty 4 pot 60mm jamex.... Your car might bounce about a bit mate

nah they came with dampers, hubs, discs, calipers and top mounts got them off a mate you see

Lol at the sump clearence
I know of an M50 that was running a hottuning 60mm kit that was horrendously low and amazing he never smashed the sump,loads of close shaves and scars though!

heres one that gives you a better idea, and yes that is a normal sized yoghurt pot and no it wont fit under the sump... even on its side

It lives and drives, very loud though!, just waiting on my manifold and im done

This could be messy

I twatted my sump when i was on standard iS springs. I'd be uber careful being that low!

yeah ino :/ need a sump gaurd! heres a pic for you

Check out the RPM guards, they clear M50 sumps and are a good price

yeah been thinking about them, but they sit about an inch lower, means ill have about an inch clearance haha

I don't get how people keep twatting their sumps.. Lack of care/awareness? My car was low as fook and didn't even graze it! Some big speed bumps round my way as well..

To be fair, I reckon I will be getting a sump guard this time round, but only as it will see more track use.. Don't want any accidents if I have an off..

Its because most have soft/road going suspension.

Be careful cutting over the kerbs innit

well, a quick update, ive bought a sump gaurd by the way guys

got some cobra fibreglass bucket seats and some sparco harness's

quick pic...



and decided to give my wheels a spruce up, got one done today and all the centre caps

My BBS rims are black with silver lip, they look cool don't they!

yeah those are bmw sparlking graphite, but you cant really tell in that pic, look nice know tho,

100times better than they did anyway

Got the exterior how i want it, wouldnt mind some se skirts though

tinted my lights today, what you guys think?





Adam.

i do like the reg .

nan = fanny up here !

i sort of like the cars looks but i'd have to blat it to be sure i like it .

nan means fanny? haha wish i lived up there, i just get ripped for it here, always get "is that your nans car?" lmfao

not sure what to do with my paint work tbh, been thinking about carbon wrapping the whole car...

Adam

i really like the lights but i'm exceptionally biased as i too have the same
