Right guys its been a while, since the last update I've had a few more modifications to add to the list thanks to a couple of local people braking their cars, so to begin with I have replaced the gmax rear and front standard dampers and the car is now sitting on bilstein group N dampers all round as I wanted to improve the handling before I start any more power modifications, after fitting these the car felt completely different to drive and was so planted to the road, the next few parts to go on were an oil catch tank with breather and a procomp induction kit with the green cotton air filter to replace my raceland filter, I had also got hold of some uprated gear linkages with out the clips (which was very annoying as the bottom linkage would always pop off and I'd loose gears 1st, 2nd, 5th and reverse) I tryed to get a new set of clips but had no luck, FCS was one week away, with a 1 pm track slot, and along with the linkage problem and badly worn down tyres I decided to have 4 new maxxis maz1 tyres put on the car, with the fresh rubber, I also sprayed both of my fans in moonstone blue as halfords didn't have the Icelandic paint, it's the same colour anyway haha, all was going great apart from the linkage problem. On the morning of FCS when we arrived at castle comb I went straight to the trades stands and managed to get a brand new set of baker uprated linkages, these got fitted on the stand at FCS haha. Before going on track my friend dansport had told me once I go on track I would get the bug, and he was right I had such a good time I've now decided to work on the car to get it to a street legal track car, then last week a new problem came out of nowhere and the clutch started to slip quite badly, so the next step was a nice new LUK clutch from a local car parts place, at this time I was also in talks with another friend of mine about selling his gearbox which he had on his track saxo, so with that in mind I waited a few days to collect the funds and on Sunday I went to collect the gearbox, it's a vts casing with vts ratios in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th with a 106 xsi final drive but the most important thing about it was the ABT quaife limited slip diff, once I got the box I got straight to work and had the new box and clutch in, it took just over 4 hours due to a few stubborn bolts but I have to say with out a doubt the quaife diff is the best thing I have done so far the car now handles completely different ill post some pictures I have taken since the last update in the next post
