It was a new guy on here joe. He said he had never fitted it before seemed genuine when Ron and I went round but won't contact me back. I guess that's the expensive risk we take buying 2nd hand

It is a chance but when you buying from a fellow local forum member(unlike scoobynet or the good old facebook selling pages) you would hope they would be legit and honest,but when you get no contact back it only says one thing they knew it was f**cked in the first place

Really like the coilovers. Didn't buy camber bolts as having the coilovers means more camber could be dialled in anyway

Presumably the ratios are shorter so does it feel quicker?

bought some 2nd hand 17 inch p1 wheels off Russ to bung some track rubber on, these will hopefully go to Lepsons on tuesday for a refurb. I'm going to have them done in anthracite.
Ordered some ad08r'sfrom demon tweeks....bargain at £101 a tyre.

If anyone has some oz centre caps let me know

You sure.....
Research I done over the last couple of weeks was reporting that 45's will rub the front arch liners and rear lip.
Track tyres also have a squarer shoulder with edge to edge tread so are a little wider then road tyres.

Prodrive's size was 205/45, but these are a rare tyre so the normal is 215/40

Yeh but P1WOC also told me to use 225/40, but when I quizzed them further they admitted they rubbed, those running 215/45 also admitted they rubbed, so not very useful recommending a size then admitting later they rub !!!!!
http://www.p1woc.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=38119

On BrianP1's ring lap you can here it....but I only noticed as it rubbed in the same place on the lap as mine on the lowered Tein's and 225/35 8x18's.

God that'll be a long journey with no boost. I remember going up to SRR with no boost and that was bad enough. Sure it'll be well worth it though. Have you used Bob Rawle before?

Not saying that I don't think it needs it but it could be checked for alot less money.
It just sounds like alot of time effort and money for very little gain which may end up with little power increase and less torque compared to ported oe.

The original headers had pretty much had it anyway and certainly already sounds better.

Yes mate, I got a 2003 non dccd uk box with 63k on it. I wanted to keep my rear brakes rather than the cost of brembos so had to get the right diff to match
