if you need a hand in your week of madness let me know and if im about ill pop over and help

wow i think your car looks amazing.. a lot better than my west coast :(

at the moment ;)

230lb springs.

are they using the PSF dampers?

always like the car and when the new bits are fitted it will be even better..

Love this car!!

thread whore.


get low fooooooolllll i have something you may need to after talks with your dad.

bouncy bouncy

Whats that mate? I'll speak to dad and ask him...

Thanks Pal!

Cheers pal, im hoping things will improve with the new bits and bobs!Same goes to yours! I need to check out your new updates soon actually. We'll have to meet up when im next 'up norf' @ GMC :D

Im either going for the 230 or 250lb AST springs mate, not sure which ones yet! And yeah pug sport inserts, oh and yes these are Lewis's old ones btw...

Cheers pal, so whats the plan for yours then matey?!

Yes that would be great mate! I think im going to need as much help as possible - will need to check the weather and possibly get a tent as well if the weathers shite which it no doubt will be! :D

It's going OK thanks Josh. The car is going in this Saturday for a week! Lot's of bits getting done.

I may follow in your footsteps with the coilovers. I've been looking for a suspension upgrade for some time. If you're getting adjustable top mounts for them, then no doubt camber will be adjsutable. :D

yeh i got a thread knocking bout somewhere lol would love to cvome the ring but cant afford it am afraid, but if you let me know when your back ill pop over

That setup looks well tasty Josh, and its got that bling factor too :p

As you can imagine Im dribbling as I like shiny stuff lol

Toad - i'd imagine so, i could just ask around and find out i guess :D

Yeah Gav ill let you know when im back pal and pop over one evening!

Lol Rush, i've nearly collected all the bits i've been wanting now guys... I will update the thread as and when i get pictures :D

If they are the AST ones Kam is selling, then yeah, I'd defo like to know please! :)

These are the ones im getting Toad



Also just sourced some pretty sweet brakes for my motor :D Pictures again to come...

looking good JP
when do these arrive?

Can I come over and help a week before Germany please Mister Joshua?

Lushhh car mate.
Real stunner!

When are you going to have them fitted mate? Waiting to hear feedback on these as i havent come across anyone else on here with them, and im strugllin deciding between the group n billies or the extra £$£$ for these?

nice car

josh ill get dad to take it to mallory park at the PP event :) he can take it round track and give you some feedback
he can also tinker with bits that may need tweaking :)
sound ok?

Im still waiting for the springs to be made up by AST, as soon as they are ready ill let you know when to expect them!

Of course Colin the more help the better! There's loads of people willing to help so we'll have it done in 2 days or so i reckon :D

Thanks mate!

I wont be fitting them for a while mate, im in Sydney untill June at least and im not going to be back untill 1st august unless things change between now and then! So i'd just go for the Group N's - I cant fault them, and coupled with the faulkners they are awesome!

Yeah sounds good Bro, that means you need to pull your finger out and get everything fitted :D

Then all we need to tinker with is caster and camber and bits and bobs like that!

Ok guys a few new parts...

Firstly another picture of the sexual AST's!



A black carpet - from Ste! How long it will stay in my car is another question...



Carbon Mirror caps should add a nice touch



And finally some Group N Gravel Billie rear dampers - Apparently they are stiff as fooook :D



More to come...

JP

I think I love you!

Nice to see some decent thought put into a car

I very much like it

i think your car is amense dude :) keep up the work.

as far as im aware you should be getting an update from me in the VERY near future ;)

Nice, fair one mate

looking great josh

as if the suspension wasn't already good, it just got better

cant wait to see it out track again :y:

love it josh looks the tits mate :D

Don't you already have grp N rear dampers? Or are there different versions? AST's looks so nice...

Oi! I was getting CF mirror caps. :( Hehe.

nice JP :D

more work to be done next week

looking good jp

carpet is ghey though

Awesome stuff, The AST's look like good kit.

Great car and great collection of parts josh :D

Might just have to be in Germany at same time lol :P

Thanks mate! Its tough thinking things ahead while not evening seeing the car but i think im getting there!

Oooo Very nice :D I cant wait ;)

Cheers mate, the old suspension was very very good, but i always wanted to give coilovers a go and it would be rude not to treat the rear to an upgrade at the same time hey!

Thanks mate - did you see it in the flesh yesterday (Sat) ?

I had the group n fronts with the B8 rears mate! You can get the group n billie rears, then the next step up after those is the group n Gravel ones which i've got! Looks like i beat you to those carbon mirror caps then matey ;)

Cheers Alex & Rushy - Yeah the AST's have had a great reviews from what ive read...

Thanks mate, if you want to join us on our Ring trip just pop your head into the West Mids section, all the info you need is in a sticky at the top of the section! Any Questions PM me!

Good work Sam - I've heard the rear dampers were so bloody hard they were a bastard to fit?! Lol!

And here's a few extra pics Sam's just sent me...

Starting to strip the rear... (Work in progress)







Rear Gravel group N billies have been fitted



Another pic of the AST's (Stollen from Lewis)



And the front brakes have had an upgrade as well....





More pics to come... :D

Looks awesome dude, some serious money and thought going into her now :y:

those AST's look immense!

I want ASTs

Just cannae afford at the mo :(

New parts look awesome.

Im loving the fact your in Oz and your getting all this work done for you.

When are you going to the ring?

Ah, I see. So are you using those rear dampers with stock torsion bars? If so, is it OK?

Damn, you did beat me too those mirror caps! Argg...

I think I'm going to be getting me a pair of those AST's rather sharpish! :D Most impressed.

I can't believe you are finally stripping the Mango! Good times. ;)

Cheers mate, im hoping i will see a nice improvement performance wise :D

Thanks mate, again hoping they should give me some extra traction, it was great before but there's always room for improvement i guess!!

Progress it looking good on yours, just had a flash back from that first meet when i first started chatting to you, Random...

Yours has had enough treatment this year already hasnt it?!

Haha its pretty good, annoying at the same time tho as i want to do the work myself really - but im so greatful Sam and Dad are helping me out!

Going on the 21st - 24th August, then im coming back out to Oz for as long as they let me stay here!

No im going larger torsion bars mate, all takes time ;) So your copying me not just on the carbon mirror caps but now the AST's as well Lol :P

Good times indeed - its going full out track (ish) now!
