Amazing stuff Dale. Those brakes...sweet jebus The Poor Boys stuff is great as well isn't it! I bought some white diamond and couldn't believe how much difference it made! I might have to try some of the Ex-P sealant as well.

Keep up the good work bud

Hi mate
First of all very nice car, I have been following this thread for a while now and constantly dribbling over monty
I have just been looking into some G60 steels myself mate and have noticed they are ET35, does this cause any problems with fitting ?
Did you use spacers ? And what size tyres did you use ?
Cheers

Quick question, what spring rates are on the front and back?

Also, whats the diameter of the exhaust system?

I'm sure its mentioned somewhere but I'm too lazy to check 20 pages

Thanks good good glad you like him, nah they are a straight fit, just remember they still out further 14mm than they would using et49! You have to slightly modify the rear arches if you want to go low tho! I used 195/45R15

hope that helps

Im using 250lbs on the front and 180lbs on the back, which are perfect for me, I personally would go any higher but i am also using solid top mounts which make it alot stiffer!

3" downpipe to a 2.5" system with 2 boxes!

hope that helps

Update time:

Few pictures as normal, I have been flat out had a lot going on recently!

When me and mike went to Mig South Central Meet!



Little toy Mike has let me use




and the best 0-60 (5.5secs) I have got so far I think I could get it abit lower still! Great fun



Then i went to London to do a tunnel run a few weeks ago, was great fun but i had a few exhaust problems, which have now been sorted

Will post better pictures soon but a quick one i took



I bought a 22mm whiteline anti roll bar lmao





Fitted



Took him to work on saturday to do full check, I have now done 1,756miles since the build and it was time for a bolt check and change the oil again



New filter



and a few ready



A few underneath




Replaced the exhaust clamps, which has since stopped the exhaust "separating"



And a few in Total Vauxhall this month




Cheers
