Thanks to the complete morons at my work for sending the tracking computer back that did caster and camber, the what's in the box is now pretty much completely irrelevant. Smart one indeed. Couple hundred quids worth of parts to fit for pvs, will remain in a box.

Hope so, movement from the bushes was quite a lot under acceleration. It's the torque it has I guess. Will have to sell the poly bushed arms and tie bars and arb set up.

old stuff





removed







new stuff fitted. all set up using some very very northern methods. drives spot on, feels much more positive, a lot stiffer but generally a vastly better and thats just from the drive home. really can notice it a lot tighter in corners.



some white dash bulbs arrived to match the stack stack stack boost gauge. will get them done next week, kinda had enough of car work for this week.
