[hazrd]

Nice work Hazard.
How does it drive? What setting is the RSB on?

Sorry Ben, only just saw this lol

drives brilliantly. took it through the spur last week and wow!!
its on the hardest setting. its not too rough so im pretty happy with that setting, almost feels like 4 wheel steer at some stages lol

Finally found a set of 17" rims that clear the APR 323mm brake kit and aren't made of granite (a la the Audi TT rims I've been using) - OZ Ultraleggera 17x8.

Nice, I was looking at getting a set of ultraleggeras a while back, tire rack had some great prices and still sub-$1000 including shipping.

Front looks like it has quite a wide track, dosen't really look like you can go much lower ?

That's where I picked up these - around $900AUD for the set with the current exchange rate.

The car has height adjustable Bilstein PSS9 coil overs, which are set up so that a 215/40-17 tyre on an 8" rim only just clears the inside of the guards. Don't have any rubbing issues, even with track / motorkhana driving, but I certainly wouldn't want to drop it any lower.

The rears in the photo above have 205/40-17 tyres which I test fitted first, hence why the front track looks a bit wider than the rear in that photo.

Oz ftw!!

Playing around, checking spark gaps, blah blah blah...
I was having some odd movement from the suspension so decided to check the droplinks and lube the front sway bushes. Original links were shot. Put the Mondeo ones in, so much better. Car was becoming a little crashy, bumpy, noisy. I'm amazed how big of an impact the dodgy links were mmaking.

Yep, picked up the same set mid-last year when the rate was decent - The best wheels ever! It was between ultraleggeras or superleggeras, only had the UL in stock

I can vouch for this, I had a set replaced under warranty and the car felt so much nicer after they were in much less noise

New 3inch MAF arrived and a Walbro fuel pump

Going to have a go at getting the Walbro in
