thanks guys.

been busy today fitting some parts.
fitted the perrin pitch stabaliser
perrin short ram intake
rear roll bar and links
whilst the intercooler was removed to fit the pitch bar i decided to do something about the horid looking corroding intercooler so i sanded it all down,primed and applyed some black wrinkle paint to match the perrin parts,also painted the dump valve to tidy it up.looks so much better.
alos fitted the rear 22mm roll bar and perrin links and feels so much better,combined with the centre diff theres much more front end grip.

Thanks

Not to bad thanks, i've got a good base, it just needs tweaking to my standards. Had my first proper hoon since i've bought it at the weekend and it was ace

Things are in the pipeline it's just waiting for things to arrive and finding time to sort bits out. I'll copy my thread over soon.

Do you like the pitch mount? Was going to be one of my next mods, I was looking at the Superpro one, didn't realise the Perrin is actually cheaper so may go for that instead if you like it.

Looks great and some choice mods. On word of warning, keep on top of cleaning and lubing the roll bar links - I've just taken mine off and despite a monthly cleaning and luibing regime they are seized solid

did you buy those new type ra-r seats from litchfield imports?

was very tempted but they wouldnt budge on price of £1400+shipping and i wasnt paying that..



i cant tell any difference with the pitch arm tbh but then i havent driven it hard since fitting.
going to take the intake kit off at the weekend and put the airbox back on with a kn panel filter and put the money towards a remap.

price for the pitch arm was £100.
