I'd velcro strap that extinguisher to the bar, one impact and that'll be flying all round the cabin

Youre unable to see from the pic but the extinguisher sits alot more horizontal than what the pic shows. Therefore its pretty dammed unlikely to come out. If i have an impact great enough to throw it out... The extinguisher will be the least of my worries.

Si,

Ive already got a few requests for extinguisher brackets. Im sure i could do something if need be

Hey Frayz

Car is looking awesome and have loads of fun at the 'Ring'. Just watch out for those motorbikes as they appear from no-where.

All the best Rich

Nice car and decent mods.

I like the look of the ride height - Whiteline "flat out" springs, how do you rate them ? How much lower is it and are they ok for the road.?

Mine has standard suspension on, but I am desperate to lower the car.

I really like the whiteline kit mate. Theyre quite a bit lower but not as low as the teins. The spring rates are very good and offer excellent control when used with the stock STi dampers.

They are perfect for the road, however with the cars track usage i will be changing to coilovers when funds allow
