Car now Ready for ND!
And its also the 1st time i've ever had it "Nice to Drive"
turns out my front suspesion (gaz coilovers) were FUCKED
i now have new ones on there (with softer springs, now running 250f/150r) t a sensible ride height and OH MY GOD they transform the car! i can now drive down roads that arent racetrack style flat! it's bliss!
new discs mean ive now got no vibration when braking the bumper isnt half hanging off the badgeds and strips arent all corroded and mingin, there's no hole in the door anymore, got the tracking done so now the steering wheel points straight and doesnt grab me all over the road
car's now been painted so not a rusty piece of sh*t
i tell ya i've fallen in love with it all over again!
now all thats left is to wash it (gonna take it down the hand car wash, i dont do it myself ) and it'll look MINT and drive MINT
woohoo i'm like a dog with 2 dicks

Sorted mate
Judging by those disc you didn't go to Bennets though
Glad you got everything done. Sounds like a busy day.If you'd rang me 5 minutes earlier I would have been in a meeting. A-Team theme ringtone would not have gone down well

steve, theyre the old warped discs actually the good ones are plain
thanks for the comments lads...
DD... supplied springs are WAY too hard, go for lower poundage (mine's still harder than konis so im told and theyre SOFT for gaz!) but the fact both my front shocks died didnt help
stu, deffo... pop over n say hi

benn, you're on you doing it at ND? it's get mingin again in the drive from yours to mine... lol
wheels were due to be refurbed a few weeks ago, but we had otehr problems with the car, theyll probably be going in straight after ND... the wheels DEFFO need doing, and should make the car look lovely
