Sorry its been a while but here's an update

Decided to fit some cheap coilovers to the 3 door so ordered some by ta technics which took ages to arrive. On the fronts I had problems getting them to go into the hubs as they were slightly to big and finally when the wheel was fitted I was not happy with the clearance between the wheel and suspension so ended up fitting the lower offset wheels which were on the rear to the front, problem solved. Now on to the rears, all the bolts were seized up solid so some finally came loose others rounded and some snapped but the rear springs, dampers and 10mm axle spacers got fitted in the end

On the 2nd July I took the car to Llandow for a track day, only prep was to take the rear seats out. Did well for the first 2 sessions but on the 3rd I started to have trouble changing gear so came in, never got back out as the clutch had died!!
So before the next track day on the 13th August I need to sort out a clutch also I hope to fit some better seats, a steering wheel and some better tyres.
