How long for? should be fine, not phased tbh. Its a strong flange anyway.

Last update will be kamracing gear linkages and its done. :homme:

new year; 266's, braided pipes, 23? mm m/c Feb is cambelt time then look about dropping her 25/30mm then keep her clean. No big engine plans or out im afraid. Keeping it very simple. >boring<

So what do i think about the mani then. It does IMO feel different, pulls "smoother" through the rev. Some will say its in my head but i genuinly think its much better!

I ment clamp it together with no springs or bolts to see what size you need to cut the springs to

I know what you meant, sir! i aint undoing them. They are nice and tight, has a little play so the exhaust can adjust to the engines movements but not enough to blow.

*awaits the my bolts have snapped post* ;)

Was gutted when I saw on the book of face that you're not lowering it until next year.
Give me a 10" Grinder and I'll lower it for you for free in about 15minutes.

Hur hur.

:fcuk:

I may aswell i have full blown update. Wasnt going to bother but ok.

Its since had 266mm Bosch calipers fitted with AP fluid and Goodridge braided hoses





Every suspension part, you name it bar the beam as its mint has been replaced, all worn ect. I then decided on on B8's and 40mm 155lb Faulkners. Beam is is lowered by 40mm by IM Axles and has Powerflex bushes. Is it too harsh for a daily? no not really. I do watch the bumps more obviously.

Springs



beam bushes



B8's










Few weeks ago my gearbox side engine dropped coming round a bend at 50mph. Stopped my shaft was half out as was all the oil. :panic: ? i did yes. 20 mins later it was fixed. Did anything break? no. ;)

I blame the garage for not doing it up tight as they were the last to touch it when it had new shafts.

So yeah i offically broke down once. *flame coat on*




Polished my cam cover with stainless bolts and legit badge



Before



After Lowered, 40 front, 40mm rear.

Day i was coming home 25/4/13









;)



Whats next? Nothing much but get the paint as clean as possible. It will be getting attacked with a DA6pro next weekend. Ordering one tommorow.
