Its a bit different on here compared to CCUk 
Sounds like your scoob has come with some nice handling mods. Both of which I'll be fitting to my Scoob soon.
As for the ticking, is it ticking from the engine contracting when its cooling down?

Ticking is almost certainly cooldown of the engine/exhaust- my old one used to do it for a while after the ignition was turned off, nothing to worry about I'm pretty sure.
Lovely car, well played!!!
Looks a lot like a Haywood and Scott silencer too- exhaust geeks will confirm/deny that, bet it sounds luvvly!!! Jammy git.

Looks sweet Glad you’re pleased with it.
As the post above says… handling mods front and rear along the lines of drop links and anti-lift kit I reckon. Give PS a call to confirm what the part numbers refer to.
My old MY99 wagon ticked and pinged when cooling down. I think it's mainly the exhaust that does it or a heat shield.

Sorry to be negative or a good news thread... but have you got all the mods declared to your insurer?
They'll have a field day if you crash it and their assessor finds suspension and exhaust mods not declared.

nice motor, similar to mine when I first got it...but with more mods, prepare to encounter mod-wallet-rape 
Squadron Leader gives excellent advice, worth listening too; agree with his detective work; front and rear drop links and anti lift kit
