Well abit out of date on updates lol.

25mm front spacers fitted and test fitted 4 pots to see if thay fit under my 15s and thay do now abit of a down side 20 mins after this my daughter ran me over with the fiesta and crash it into the house, Truly bending the track rod arm right up (so bad when the steering wheel was straight the pas wheel was full lock left), so I had the arm and end replaced and checked for other damage and couldn't see any and on Friday I popped up to indigo gt for tracking to be spot on and check where I need adjustable parts now to find the rear of the car is perfect and the front tracking perfect but a shit load more camber on the pas wheel, well not a shit load but enough to need more new parts but I was down llandow circuit Saturday morning so impossible to get them in time but after a good going over of the suspension and changing the front toe to -0.5 me and few of the lads deemed the car safe for llandow

Had a good morning at llandow but just before dinner I pushed the car abit to hard on the pas side wheel on braking which I later found out I had bent the hub hole where the shock goes lol which was caused by braking to hard lol but that shows what was causing the extra camber 100% as the shock couldn't have been sitting perfectly but that didn't stop my day just didn't go as hard again lol.

If im honest the car didn't handle as well as I wanted it to but this could be done to me running just over -2 camber on the front pas and just over -1 camber on the front driver and running -0.5 rear pas -1.0 rear drivers and wrong tyre pressure, after the first run I was 38.5psi hot front and rear which I let them down abit lol.

I did get a few videos but other than the mx5s and a clio nobody wanted to be on the track with me lol so most of my video's I've got the track to my s3lf lol.

Once youtube or photobucket allow me to upload some videos I will get some up but I think its more my end due to change provider and my internets only running 668kphs something like that lol.

ill get as much of the car repaired this weekend as I can but ill have to wait on spax for a new leg, Which I also suspect I damaged the wheel bearing and or cv joint as well as I got a nasty wining noise now so ill replace them as well.

Plans once the cars fixed is adjustable wishbones if I can find some and more power and one little secret thing only two people know Shhhh steve! Lol


Ps. Nobody buy FSE SHIT! Once again there products fail and there fuel pressure reg caused massive back firing so thats in the bin with past items I bought.

Well after work today I went for a little play on the car and get this done which should have been done lastweek, First thing I wired in a lambdo connect end into the loom then fitted my home made lambdo that was long enough to reach the 4-2-1 hole, which cleared up the two error codes I had.
Second thing I played about with my spare speedo and removed 5 bulbs and make sure it was correct and still perfect and did to the cars real speedo so now I have no pointless warning lights (abs,t/c, open door, washer jet water level and airbags) so I can NOT drive the car and get away with it now lol. Also since most of my wires can be seen I cleaned them up by wrapping them in pvc tape and stripping away wiring I didn't need (heater system airbags abs speaker wires ect) which I nearly finished just got to do behide the speedo now so dash has to come out.
