Cheers guys, i appreciate the comments!
Shes running a T3 with large Ex housing which is a bit too laggy! Shes only on a base map courtesy of OddKidd and needs a rolling session to get the best from her but shes around the 210bhp mark at the mo.
Im not sure bout the No. plate, as far as i know i think i am the first owner of it but i could be wrong, ive had it about 5 or so years....?!?!?!

Nice motor, and nice to see you spending cash in the right areas!
Trying not to sound like a dig/kill joy but are you sure drilling through the compression struts is a good idea? Also the rear antiroll bar setup when under tension will try to twist the rear transverse arms through 360 degrees and load up the rose joints in a way they are not designed for, I would of thought.
Again I dont want to sound like a C**T but I ask as I am trying to build similiar things myself for my S2 and have come across these problems myself.
Other than that I love it mate! Cool as fuck sleeper!

The Rear ARB was not used, these pics were taken during fitment and Brom decided it wasnt required(the ARB was connected to the STD wishbones). As for the front ARB, this is how Brom made it and it seems to work pretty damn good to be fair, it handles like no other Mk4 ive driven!
Great stuff! Im glad to see a car with the right components underneath instead of just show bling and cheese.
The front rollbar is a copy of the cosworth compression strut and rollbar setup on a works car.
I have a similar setup on my car with a 909 front anti roll bar with the connections to the TCA instead of the strut.
It works very well but value for money is not that much different to an RS16i or a S1 type rollbar setup.
So in simple terms you could just use a S1 rollbar to get the same adjustments.
Only diff is that if you have a Mk4 Gearbox then using a S1 or 16i rollbar is not an option.
Hope that helps.
