All spare WRX 02 have already been allocated but BC Racing have confirmed that we still have time to add to the order. However time to add is getting short as the order is due to leave on the 13th and I dont know exactly when they will stop allowing me to add to the shipment.

We are int he process of fitting a pair of extender adjusters to our V8 S14 200SX. We have remove the top nut fromt he extender to pass it throught he shelf and I dont see any reason why the extenders couldnt be cut back. It would be a bit of a pig as youd have to cut with a hack saw but I dont see why it wouldnt be achievable.

Having said that, if we can get the correct lengths from the start then thats even better

Ill check on Tuesday when Im back at work

Simon Norris has just been out in his Evo race car at Castle Combe. Hes running BC Racing ER Series coilovers, first time out on them. These were his comments:

Can't wait to use them in anger in the dry with the aero and slicks!

Hi Bren one of the guys up here has the extenders on his MY03 STi and they are almost touching the rear screen so it would be good to get them made shorter if possible. Here is a picture of them fitted to a GDB. I would say about inch off would be good, anyone else confirm?

Any chance of a pic with the shelf fitted so we can get a measurement of required length? If the guy with that STi would be kind enough to get us accurate measurements then Ill send him a pair of the new length adjuster free of charge in return

Ill also have a go at cutting a pair of the long ones down next week and will give instructions if it works so anyone else with the longer ones can trim them down.

Im at home now, back in work Tuesday. Im going to try to stay away from work stuff for a little break so probably wont be back on here until Tuesday.

Im going camping tommorrow with Ann (my missis) and our 2 year old daughter Natasha. We are going to Robin Hoods Bay as a theres a 4x4 off road course out there and a friend is competing in his monster trials thing. Im also hoping to get out on my CRF450 motocrosser early tommorrow morning before we set off camping as my collection of bruises is dissapearing. My bike will soon see to that! Should be fun

Have a good weekend guys.

Bren - not sure if it is old age m8 but if you look in the background you might just make out the Grey Shelf......................................... just behind the Black spiral casing of the adjuster

I cut mine down, it was quite easy, just measured them so they fit snug with the back of the seat. I'll try and get a measurement tomorrow if you want it.

Bren,
Any spare for an RB5 GC8? If so what would you recommend? do 3-4 track days a year and mainly use the car at weekends.
Thanks Will

We have a couple of additions to my last list posted. Theyve not yet been added as Ill only do that once I have added your order to the sea order. Im going to add a batch at the end of the week rather than one at a time. Once the order has been placed with the factory then your name will appear on the list as confirmed.

I dont have any record of an order for you, have you phoned and confirmed?

Its coming to the cut off point now, if you want a set thats not on the availanble list then you need to get your order in this week.

The rear top mounts give a more solid mounting point than rubber but they can transmit a little noise. Its not a given but they can rattle lightly on rare occasions. The pillowball also allow camber adjustment which is useful but not necessary as you can just go for some rear camber bolts instead.

Id go with 6/5s.
