I'm back! been busy with work! So my springs and brakes have come - need to get the wheels off because i think i need new track rod ends so will check that this weekend as i put the new springs and bakes on! Pictures to follow !

To do list atm is

- new set of plates (GB)
- Tyres (still unsure which)
- maybe a flexi?
- oil/filter, PAS fluid and brake fluid change

Need more suggestions which isn't going to cost a bomb!

On another note my friend popped round the other day and he's brought a serious tool! will upload a pic!

Updaaate -

Lowered her on the weekend she's much more grippy! wish i did dampers at the same time but oh well well chuffed with how it sits and drives now!

Its firm but not overly firm reminds me a little of a standard CTR or my mates ITR now


During -




After -



Better After Pic -




To anyone thats thinking about it i suggest do it - cant get over the difference it makes in looks alone!

Sorting my alignment and tyres this week then going to a open day at Curborough sprint track on the 15h i think! Should be fun!

What you lowered it on mate? Looks great.

I was originally going to get a PB ST, ended up going black, love both colours.

Hey, just a quick one, how much does an average trip to the nurburgring cost?

I'm not looking to go mad, but possibly do a lap or two just to say i've been!

Planning a road trip to Monaco in August and Mrs is happy for the detour!

Sorry Boyde i didn't see this!

in average you're looking to spend 500 in hotels and a 3day trip tbh with petrol being a bit careful.

1 lap - €26 a lap will do about 1/5 of a tank if you're really going for it!

definitely do it if you can nothing compares to the atmosphere on a sunny day!



Thought i'd update this as its only a week to go! getting my oil and gearbox oil changed later so will get some pics of how my car stands atm!
