haha cheers man, my noise is coming from the near side front aka the passenger footwell. I may have summed it up to the shaft which makes absolutely no sense! (I replaced it last year and only covered around 15k on it ) it doesnt click going round in circles on full lock, but the cv joint has the tiniest hole that piggy123 saw when working on the front and it has gradually lost grease and the noise doesnt seem to be apparent in 1st gear/under 20mph anymore

I can't wait will be money well spent, cant see it handling much better with the arse down it will have uprated dampers at rear, but at least grip will be better

Cheers saxy1, appreciate it. Craving a bit more power atm. One thing thats putting me off shoving a bigger lump inside the bay (in 2 years time) is that the shell has several bits of rust forming and needs treating and I have no skills in welding either so shall be an interesting time for this shell.

well it's been a long time planning/coming but the rear axle has been fitted and the rear lowered.

What started in October 08 (after one dodgy axle to Alex's axle finding it's way to Piggy) has been finished, really chuffed with the work Piggy123 and his dad have done an awesome job and have been really helpful throughout, they're such a friendly pair too and if I have any queeries or need any help I'm sure to go to them

Some pics:







(in need of a clean after a good drive testing the ultra grippy avon's and the new stance)

As the axle Alex had gave to sam had the piddly 1.0 torsions (18mm?), the torsion bar have been upgraded to the 19mm bars (19mm 110lb/inch-around the same rating as the springs) I have to give him big kudos for that

Also the engines rad needed bleeding randomly one evening for no reason that i could pin point (trickling noise behind dash, and i hadn't even been near the engine for a whole 2 days) anywho on driving over to CMC they stated the water pump had let in some air and they sorted it for free



whats currently going on:
green panel filter orderred soon.
Powerflex lower engine mount.
Upgrading to VTR wishbones and a vts/gti arb+droplinks
(and new pads before any tracks are glanced at)
And to sort that knock!
