    Finally got my new front springs in

    It was a bit*h to do, i guess now i have done it a few times i am getting quicker

    The new spring hats sent to me by kmac did not fit properly, had to send them off and get a few mm machined off, FML, as the car was pulled apart.

    Anyway all back together but there is still a knocking sound from the front left. It is really ****ting me, dont know what it is

    Is it knocking as you go over bumps? Possibly a loose strut top or swaybar link?

    Yeah seeing as i had both struts out (inc Strut tops) and swaybar links off too and re-installed it all, well i dont know

    You were right, it was the swaybar links, took the Whiteline ones out and put the standard back in and the noises have gone

    More Progress

    Been busy working on the car, not as much as i would like to tho

    Did Sandown a few weeks ago but kept blowing a inter cooler hose off, which was a pain. The thing would just not stay on, even with 2 proper clamps, so it was a non eventful and expensive day

    I ended up only getting 2 laps in for the whole day


    Car clean and ready to go

    This is what happens when your towed in and the tow rope gets wrapped around your bumper

    Troy, you got the IC piping sorted now? I don't foresee mine popping again, Jimmy did a great job on the pipe work, and put a fixed bracket on the side to tie it down.

    Sorry to see the bumper/wheel gaurd like that. Hope it hasn't caused other damage.
