  1. Measure the discs , I believe pfl are smaller than fl Apologies I got the sizes wrong , hence edit
  2. Tbh I always use Gt4-play, Stephens pretty good at getting parts if he doesn't stock them.
  3. Fit shorter drop links if youve dropped the ride height
  4. Its ok, im no spring chicken either 😆 But I now know im not the oldest in the club 😉
  5. Showing your age there 😉
  6. Cracking cars. Im not jealous at all
  7. How have i missed this episode until now ? One of my all time favourite cars. I did notice a ccuk sticker on the rear screen
  8. Great looking car and as the old saying goes. If it sounds too good to be true, it is
  9. Ebay ad Thoughts ? https://www.facebook.com/share/14LfzwKKigL/
  10. Ive had this a fair few years now. Tbh its heavy to move around , sprung loaded wheels one end and a removable bar with wheels at the other. It takes the car as high as it could go in the garage due to the roof timbers. I use a set of pull lifts to up end it so it rests flat against the wall when not in use. Its been a god send tbh. It comes with an air operated hydraulic pump, you do need a decent sized compressor to run it , but who doesn't need a decent compressor in their workshop ? 😉
  11. Those camber bolts are for the front not rear, not sure if you realised that. To change out the rear camber bolts and toe bolts il warn you now. It can be a pig of a job. Worst case bolts will need cutting if they are stuck in the bushes. Bushes will need replacing. You'll need a good day to do it on your own on the drive. Quicker to have the bushes burnt out at a local garage and have them press new bushes in if you don't have the gear. Plenty of copper grease on the bolts when you bolt it back up Also check the rear subframe around the camber arms mountings. They corroded badly
  12. Unfortunately if you go for a full on track set up you will compromise on comfort , the car will follow the camber of the road and white lines if you have a wheel on them. Doesn't make for an enjoyable ride tbh. Part of the reason mines now only track use. For the road you should be able to get plenty of camber on the rear using original camber bolts. Unfortunately the bolts tend to sieze into the inner sleeve of the bush and the easiest way to get them out is to drop the rear subframe for access. Rear toe is adjustable , if bolts aren't siezed. They can be a pita to remove. I've had to cut the bolts in the past. Front camber, if you don't have adjustable top mounts you can buy camber bolts. From memory they are 15mm and are available from Gt4-play on line. Not expensive. A stiffer rear arb will help If fitting strut braces, don't buy cheap. Total waste of money
  13. After melting a piston on the dyno last year I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild. Just need some cash for the pistons and another dyno session, new tuner this time
  14. Full rewire on the gen7 track car. Done away with fuses and relays by using a pdm. New race dash. It's been a huge learning curve for me even though I had the engine loom made for me. Well on the way now, well hopefully.
