Tue Nov 04, 2008 1:08 am

Oh christ,

I'll be visiting the Mrs and Baba in Raigmore this weekend. What do you think my chances are of sloping off on Sunday morning to cane the living shite out of my car on some amazing back roads with you lot are ?

She's a rather cool Mrs, so I'm sure she's understand. Right ?

Afterthought. I've still not fitted my LSD yet

Tue Nov 04, 2008 5:26 pm

if there is salt on the roads on sunday, my sport wont be coming out either..so i,ll need to see if i can persuade the mrs to let me out in the scoob..I reckon George's chances of getting away from the hospital are higher than mine for getting the scoob :lol:

Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:39 pm

willhave the car appart this sat,but if its back together again by sun day ile wander along

Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:56 pm

Nick have a word with Ritchie and see what he says.
The more the merrier as they say

Geordie- I'm pretty sure you could "sneak off"and still pop in past Raigmore on the way home.
You know you want too

. I wouldn't worry about the lack of slipper tbh

Gray. You might just have to let the wife drive instead then

John.. Start pulling the 5 apart on friday, that way you can have it back together again in readiness for Sunday

after running about in one for a while i would agree with you there

hey even the other half prefers the p plate mondeo estate compared to the 2000 plate focus we had

Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:04 pm

Yeah James the Focus is a shit drive what makes it worst is lisa's is only a 1.4 and it gutless as.

Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:07 pm

well the one weve got sittin is the 1.8 td it goes allright but the mondeo is the 1.8 td with 201k on the clock and pulls like a train compared to the focus

Plenty of adlustment

Alloy top mounts

Fitted

Went for a wee run to try them.
Just got to tweak them to get the setup i'm happy with

Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:31 pm

Looks the dogs bits mate.How you getting on with the huuuuge brake kit?

Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:33 pm

Haven't got bells or caliper brackets made yet.

They could be next on the list
OR an all in one dash display like STACK/Motec/Race technology and possibly a data logging system to monitor the new engine

Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:51 pm

Booooo

Really want to see them fitted they look mental.

Still need to get the 18's unbuckled before i can get the brakes fitted.
They Definately won't fit under the 16's that's on the car just now.

I can get bells made for about £200+vat
Caliper brackets won't be a problem
Will need to get some custom wheel spacers made and some longer wheel studs rolled as well
