Should the front anti roll bar be knocking??
rob_bower replied to gwtaylor's topic in Chassis & Suspension
Yea the droplinks definitely wants tightening up. I’d also check that lower alk bush as there shouldn’t be that much of a gap. The spacer sits under the arb to chassis mount to drop it down the same amount as the alk plate. -

rob_bower replied to gwtaylor's topic in Chassis & Suspension
seen a few people have this problem with thick arb’s hitting lower arm mounts I had some spacers made which I might have somewhere. But those droplinks need tightening up. -
Great set up. Good buy

rob_bower replied to AdamMarshGT's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Liam @ midland turbo great bunch of guys there too quality service. He’s a legend. -
There just oem replacement set. I ran them on my n/a for years.

Nope they didn’t come with one as standard there are a few companies sell aftermarket ones, whiteline, ultra racing, etc.

As rob says Tpl are the UK distributor, you can get them from the us a bit cheaper if you can wait a few weeks. But I’ll be buying from tpl for peacE of mind.

A quick update on this, after the fuel pump failed on the way to JAE I completely lost interest for a few months. But im back on it. 1. Fix the fuel leak - DONE 2. Move and remount intercooler + new pipework - DONE 3. New bumper + splitter + paint 4. Repaint speedlines + new tyres 5. Repaint rays 6. Refresh meisterr's 7. Refresh fuel tank - DONE 8. Under seal 9. Side exit 10. Fit poly bushed lower arms + alk & Farb 11. Detail, polish and seal 12 wire in headlight motors 13. Fit stainless spigot rings to brakes - DONE 14. Paint calipers 15.new steering wheel 16. Re-do clocks 17. Retrim bucket seat 18. Finish steering column 19. Fit new speakers 20. Blank off inlet 21. Tidy wiring in engine bay - STARTED after sitting for nearly 5 months the car was pretty disgusting inside. So first job was to strip the interior for a clean and to sort some wiring issues, and get the new fuel pump wired in. Now I wanted to address a few other issues firstly after a previous repair on the ewg take off it left the waste gate fouling the top radiator hose so that has all be stripped off and has gone to be corrected. While it’s off the exhaust is going for the ct9 reducer removed. So while that’s off I’ve given it a good polish. Seats have been stripped and given a wash and then put back together. And I might have accidentally bought a spoiler for this bootlid should make it look a bit more purposeful. Got a few custom bits lined up to. Stay tuned.
