(Small Essay Warning)

As many will know i havent been on here for ages!

Last post was about a Rally Net stlyeee thing... ust before new years...



I have added Anti-Roll Bars to the car (front and rear) they are well worth there money!(Big )

Few pitures: (more in the garage)











So anyway off i popped down to D.Tweeks and instead of buying a net i bought a steering wheel and Boss Kit £100 the lot

So i thought i wont put it on tonight (the saturday 30/12/06) but do it on the sunday 31/12/06)

But on the saturday a knob in a Jeep Commander (the big fucker) decided to reverse into my wing
Very angry!!!

But

He has said he will pay all the damage in cash and my cargoes in to the bodyshop for repairs on thursday
I asked the guy how much to touch up my boot (rust spots) and he said he will throw it in the price of what he is charging the knob!! Result!!

So im abit happier and when i get the car back on Friday night (ish) i will get to fit the new wheel too!!!

Pics: (please note my car is now back on the Sport steelies - How rapid are they - Like slippers when you where a child!!!)











But all in all, once this is sorted - my car will be back to the way i want it (for now)

Cheers

Unlucky on the damage mate!

I had a guy reverse into me on the same wing as that, but not that bad, i work in a bodyshop, so got a quote of 400, then told the guy he could give me 250 cash, which he agreed, then it got repaired for nothing as it was getting re-sprayed anyway

So do you all run front and rear whiteline arb's? On the novas i have always found a big improvement in feel and road holding by running a stiffer front spring and no ARB but running the rear arb as normal.
