looking top quality mate. cant believe so much progress can be done from half way round the world lol
|
Nice josh, is it me or is your steering wheel chopped lol?
|
Nah it just looks like that because of my steering wheel lock!
Tom - it is pretty crazy when you think about it like that... None of it could be done without a few very good, willing-to-help-out lads in the Midlands + My Bro and Dad for running around all over the country collecting stuff, dropping things off, picking things up etc etc for me! More pics...  Got some "Proper" springs for my damper / Coilover set up, 250lb Faulkner ones :D  New brakes have also arrived..       My Sidemounts also arrived from my mate (Mentioning no names, who again has helped me out loads!)  Bolt in Subframes are currently being made up as a temp before i weld in some bars whenever a cage goes in as well! Should look something like this..  Again thanks to Sam for sending the pics over... Hope you like! |
Josh how much the subframes costing you? I really need a drivers one.
Looking good mate, lots of parts to fit lol, will it be done in the 'go crazy build week'?lol |
Quote:
The subframes were 90quid for the pair mate from Matt Newton. |
Josh baby, is one going to be at FCS~?
|

Sweet Joshy!!
250lbs? Those are some serious springs! :D m1155's! I like it, I like it a lot. |
Ahh thats not too bad then lol, I might have to find out a contact number/email address of you for him
|
A good selection of upgrades dude. To think you couldnt really do much more was so far off. Hope the AST's are all their cracked up to be.
Just shows a project is never finished hey Josh (familiar words) :p |

Leeroy - Nah im not back untill August 1st so doubt it will make it to any shows this summer, hopefully ill fit in a track day before the ring tho :D So true Rush - but i think you wouldnt be far off to say the new stuff is more than good enough to not be upgraded in the future! (My bank account hopes so anyway!) |

Its all rather pornographic :) i like
Saw it last weekend when me, alex and lee went over to see your dad and sam for an hour or so, looks quality Are you still considering the change of bodies soon? me and rushy are looking at october for a possible mini group buy all being well |
BEen waiting for this. Bloody awesome updates man. :y:
|
Good work mate, carbon dial surround is WIN, i have one ;)
|
Some serious progess Josh. :y:
Comments / opinions on the AST coilovers and m1155's? |
Cheers for all the comments lads!
Toad - ASTs rock mate, they feel really good, bloody hard for road work tho Lol. The 1155's are awesome as well, no real issues with needing to warm them up before they start working either which im suprised at! Yesterday i got it insured & Taxed  Then went and collected my second seat, modified the sidemount so i can have it on the lowest setting (still need to do the drivers side)     also got the R888 fitted to the spare 1.2...  More updates to come.... |
nice progress josh. How is it now you have a danny clayton map:P
love the car as always and cant wait to see it at the ring, any chance of a passenger ride? |
shed :P
just bought a load of bits for mine to get it back on the road this year! will need you / your dad to do something on it early next year probs too... any track days planned? |
Excellent mate.
For the m1155's to kick in proper, they do need to be hot, but they are very useable on the road IMO. I don't have any issues with them TBH. |
