  1. And ontop of that, I feel I have learned a lot along the way of building this car, by speaking to mike and Nick and just learning about what parts make what difference to the handling or power etc and where the credit is due mike never once tried to sell me anything, simply told me what the advantages and disadvantages were of each part and pointed me in the right direction. And overall I am more than pleased with the service I recived from tuning developments. And on top of that I do feel like I have made 2 new friends down there aswell ! Great guys and although it's a long way my car will be getting done there everytime it needs work done, Loved sourcing and trying to find parts I wanted for my build and over the moon with the power and performance figures ! So yea all in all a very enjoyable experience, and looking farward to the summer !
  2. Haha thanks for that mate ! I'm so glad I went forged mate, if I could do it again I would go forged again, wouldn't put a standard one in. And I would rather pay professionals to do the job right rather than mess about with it. Don't have enough time to mess about with things either with my rallying and stuff as that takes up narely all my time haha!! But yea thanks for the comments mate. More updates coming shortly but I won't look back at going forged 😃!

  10. I then decided to cut my front bumper (when I say me .. A panel beater in my work done it lol) and I'm very pleased with it.. Makes it look much more agresive. I then stuck a tiny Numberplate to the front and that lasted one night and changed it for another with so much police about it was just asking for a pull, did look cool though.
  11. Went and had the coilovers professionally setup by an old friend of my dads from the rallying that all he specialises in is suspension ... Fair to say it's like a driving a completely different car now. Excellent feeling and so much more responsive. Very happy indeed
