[davidpingu]

Washed and waxed both cars and fitted my new oil cap. Thanks Mark

 

[Todd_77]

Put fuel in & drove it!

 

[albone13]

Removed my tow hook and fixed the leak from the rear lights and sorted the rust

 

[Rob R]

Fitted Tegiwa short shifter and Skunk2 knob. Feels a lot nicer now.

 

[Mark_teg]

Currently fitting new front ARB drop links and bushes so it's all perfect for the next owner

And the part numbers:

 

[donzooo]

4 new tyres (Potenza RE070s)

Tracking/Alignment

ES engine mount inserts

Gearbox oil

 

[RobS]

stared at it out the window wishing I was going to drive it in the daylight. Also wondered how easy my wind noise above 60mph issue will be..

I had my Enkei NT03+M's refurbished in Charcoal Anthracite at The Wheel Specialist in Manchester. It's a tyre-off full wheel refurb with 8 new valves and the job is faultless - really pleased. Just need to sort some new centre caps!

Pic quality not great, but you get the idea....

Looks great. Love the skirts. Whats she lowered on?

 

[TyperItr]

Car looks great. How come the wheels have two valves per wheel though?

Nitrogen.

Thank you - It's on Ohlins coilovers.

I'd definitely recommend them. I did a fair bit of research first too, and it seems a lot of people are happy with the work.

Nitrogen.

Yep. From what I understand it's so you can add nitrogen and air at the same time, while also being able to fill and monitor tyre pressure simultaneously.

That is a very tidy looking piece of kit. Do you mind me asking how much it was?

i could have got a cheaper one but they dont go higher than 375mm.. this sealey one 1.8 ton goes up to 470mm

you need it to go slightly higher to drop down on the axle stands
