Small update time, after my last track day ive found that the suspension is a bit too soft for my needs now.

So ive fitted new Vibratechincs engine and gearbox mounts, MSD rear diff mount, and Avo rear adjustable coilovers with 350Ilbs springs and Leda front adjustable coilovers with 600Ilbs springs,

And ive got some stickers on too, bit of free advertising for my company.

I like the way it sits, but just might be a little too low.

Steve,

Think I know this car mate, did you buy it from Scott? Gary Diggins owned it before, if it is the car I'm thinking of

Thanks Steve, no decent side shots yet, but out and about on Saturday so will hopefully get a couple of decent ones then.

James, I bought it from Mark Walden off here, He came from Worthing, was a standardish road car with the FMS engine!

I think it's still the same car!

Gary had it for years and wanted to track it but thought it was too nice, sold it to Scott for 2 S1's and Gary tracked a S1. IIRC Scott blew the engine up in the 3dr after not long (valve/piston), it was stage 3. I think Scott lost interest as he races powerboats etc, then obviously sold it onto the guy you bought it from I'd imagine! Gary was based in Littlehampton/Bognor so it makes sense
