Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Got lower MGF ball joints fitted and boot hinge welded. A new water pipe that should be a better fit than my random one from a SPI. Also MPI calipers so only got to get the discs redrilled and they can be fitted. And finally, picking up fuel tank at PoL and got my red bumpers today Edited by Conor_GTa 5/4/2014 1:38 PM | ||

Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | b155ett - 28/4/2014 1:03 PM What offset are you running now, with the starmags? Exactly the same as the minilites mate. Did look at wider wheels but just chose to go with the easy option plus got these for £200 | ||

Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | I used a metro one for now but it does hit the ecu as I've now put a MPI bracket on. It's okay after about half way but I think the best one is a boot strut off a rover 800 or 820 I believe | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 624 Location: Sleepy Ol' Suffolk | chap whats going on in the gap of your studs on the brake disk?? these need to be flush with each other with no play surly | ||

Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | I just made the hole slightly bigger for now as I couldn't get to pillar drill at the time and need the brakes on then! They don't have any play in them at all. They will begetting done properly but I'm going to be getting better discs next few weeks maybe | ||

Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Nothing's really change with this in the past few months. Tacked a diagonal bar in and will be getting more bars to go in, looking at getting the cross in as well as a diagonal behind the drivers seat to just behind the passanger. I've now decided that this will be my track/road car and more of a toy than anything else | ||

Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | So this one has come to a end now. Past couple of months tried to fix the gta up but unfortunatly I won't have the time nor money to repair it. Rust has got to much, front and rear suspension set up needs replacing and paint work is terrible. There is a big plus side. I will be stripping the car down and keeping everything then next week I pick up another shell to rebuild back up ready for PoL. I'll start a new journal for the rebuild. | ||
