Yeah man yes to both will be good to catch up, I have only taken out the lower locking collars in the rear and evened out the front and hardened everything up still have some rubbing with big dips but its pretty good.

sounds good if been meaning to take my locking collars out in the rear except i think it will look funny cause the tire will be completely tucked and will scrub non stop. i defs wanna lower my car a little for the weekend tho i need to get my act together and buy smaller rims .

well dramas again with the car,

changed the dog bone mounts on the weekend.


so so dirty


When I took it for a drive it felt like my teeth were falling out, swapped out both the larger and smaller mounts with the stock ones still really bad, also the exhaust tips have moved under the valance, the old mounts must of sagged heaps.

just spoke to Dean from Volkwerke and he noted that if I had a custom exhaust that with the new mount it maybe hitting the chassis somewhere and causing the vibration, so going to install the old mounts if the vibration is gone ill book it into the exhaust shop and fit the new mounts before I go in and have them readjust the pipes to stop it banging, I hope.

any other ideas guys.

dramas all fixed my bad installed the wrong way, the down pipe was hitting the steering rack , feels real good now tho

Ok still here slowly doing stuff.

Car came back today from having an ECS stage one clutch kit with lightened flywheel installed and a few other things looked at.

Love the clutch no slipping anymore and the car feels a whole lot better in the revs. But the clutch pedal is crazy soft both going down and coming up, is that normal? Im so use to the old clutch being so hard its totaly thrown of my take offs.

yeah i think that's pretty normal, when i first got my ecs clutch put in i nearly put my foot through the floor and then proceeded to stall it twice taking off haha. give it a couple of days and it should feel normal. what flywheel you get?
