AM first thing is a photocall for the "before" shoots.

Then, either lump hammer time, or my pal Gary At Kwik Fit.... will wield his lump hammer instead !

Then it's camera time again !

Hi Grant, if you look closely you can see mud on the sill (rear door !)

Bri no money for a facelift.... it's my personality that's the problem !

It was me I knicked 'em.

Teins on, just finished at 9:40 PM !

Dropped on the floor, so much easier to wash, first impressions are :- HORRIBLE !

But it's due to the geometry being all over the place.

Next job on the list !

Oh ! YES ! said churchill.....

Had to raise it by about 1/2" so back out on Sunday to wind on some negative camber. My maths tells me I need 0.58" of "lean" across a 19" wheel, to get 1.75 degrees as advised by corradoboy.

Rears are fully negative on the camber bolts so no help there.

Looks good in the pics, un-usable, god only knows how the "yanks" run them so close.

LOL

dunx

P.S. Sorted Phormula knock system and catch can today, so looking good for Thursday, I might try and get JGM to meet me at Squire's !

Yep ! Getting used to it....
Only a wee bit of "knock" detected !
I'm hoping it can stand around 2 bar of boost up towards the 7800 rpm limiter....
