Not decided on ARB's yet will see how it performs first and then do the bushes if it's all good

 

excellent i had the months wait years ago with a 2 door and all the registration hassle that came with it

looking forward to more updates

 

The way I see it Stu is that the bushes could be 11 years old and so probably if not worn then pretty much knackered due to rubber fatigue/perishing.

I am going to get the bars removed and powder coated, not sure if I will go with pink or red yet but they will be in need of some TLC given the age of them.

Thanks as soon as it's lands and is in Leeds I should get some further pics from the UK importer (who I cannot recommend highly enough).

I am hoping that as the DVLA is only 20 minutes away from me that perhaps I can take the paperwork there in person, I know someone who works there and soI hope I can get it fast tracked / bypassing the usual delays encountered with the DVLA.

 

And the car is in the middle of the Mediterranean as I type this heading for the Port of Piraeus in Greece, so at least it's in the EU now.

And of course it made it past the Somali Pirates, only to pass Gibraltar now if the Spanish haven't blockaded it by that point.

 

Tbh I was going to keep the standard ARB's given the coilovers are working harder with the ARB's against roll. If mine were on standard struts/springs I would be more in mind to change to a stiffer bar. My original plan was uprated bushes along with all the other bushes I have sitting here ready to go and powdercoat the standard bars Audi Laser Red

 

I'm definitely going to stick with the standard as anti roll bars, given that all the chassis and suspension bushes will be uprated and brand new plus as the S202 comes with uprated lateral arms etc as standard then there should no need to go for bigger anti roll bars.

 

Some more goodies arrived in work today - these Ultra Racing strut braces really are well made, the welding is spot on and not like a load of metal splatter.

I also have a brand new Perrin radiator cooling panel that I picked up from Dave Y at Rallyday last Saturday.

 

Very nice Ty

 

Are both cars on the same boat?

 

No mate mine's already here, just waiting on the DVLA to pull their thumbs out of their ***** and register the damn thing

 

I wish they were but I bought mine a few days after the previous delivery had got underway, the two ships seem to be rotation.

Stu, like I have said before mine will be on the road before yours.

 

anyone see that container ship that has sunk in the middle of the Mediterranean on the news???

 

That's lucky then that it's not on a container ship, this is for want of a better phrase almost like a giant roll on roll off ferry, no cotainers on this ship Tubby.

 

And Tubby you will be used to rear end loading and discharge as well.

 

Some of the SuperPro suspension and chassis goodies that I ordered have turned up today, only a few minor bushes left which will arrive next week.

 

I still have those SuperPro bit's we talked about if you want them Ty?

 

If you can let me know which kits you have Ian, you may well have kits that I don't have and if that is the case then I will take them off you.

 

Ryan is going to be busy.

 

He sure is.

Sorry Ian, I've already got those bushes in the kit I've just received.

 

I've managed to source a very good condition Prodrive sports cat and centre section, should help to free up some more horses come remap time whilst having still being able to pass the VOSA test.

 

Nice Tyron, it's coming together

 

Thanks Simon, all going well the car should be landing in Newcastle a week tomorrow and then it'll only be a matter of weeks until I can pick her up.

 

Well the car (in the ship) has now left the Mediterranean Sea, has made it's way through the Gibraltar Straights and is now in the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Ty - are you actually on the ship ?

 

You can actually take a passage on the ship I believe, but I am not that dedicated to the car (not yet anyway).

It you click on the link below it will allow you to follow the ships progress across it's journey, once the link has opened up if you click on the longitude/latitude link it will show you the current location of the ship.

Not a Stowaway yet then That's cool, you can track it - like Santa on Xmas eve with the kidz

 

Just like parcel tracking! hah,

Ultra Racing stuff is the absolute bollocks, its just so difficult to get ahold of! Unless they have changed from when i last bought some for my starbo

 

The Ultra bits come in shipments so it's pot luck sometimes as to whether they have stock of what you want Otherwise you have to wait till another order quota is filled and then wait for shipment. I have always been lucky but I know others that have cancelled orders due to huge lead times It's always best to contact Ultra directly
