NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 You can read it on the blog, but here's a few piccys.This weekend I'm planning on doing the brake swap and coilovers...anyone done a how to on either of these? Quote
sl8ter & jett Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 looks wkd well done the new rims are so nice to Quote
NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 the new rubber is immensely sticky...and the cage has made the car ultra stiff. It's pretty much point and squirt now like a precision instrument Quote

ecksjay Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 the coilovers will take you like, 5 minutes, the brakes i have no idea, mainly because yours are unknown and noone will know exactly how they fit. Quote
gaz Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Looks good mate, personally i cant see the attraction of black rollcages, i like them to stand out.Very good though. nice work Quote
NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 5 minutes ey grandson? Are you speaking from experience there The rollcage will get some padding at some point in blue...only problem is it's £10 a metre!!! compared to the grey pipe cladding from B and Q...50p a metre. Ripping bastards (not B and Q for once) Quote

Ripping bastards (not B and Q for once)Oh i see that will look pretty neat.took me a whole day to do my suspension, lots of drawbacks happened. It was snowing too. Quote
ecksjay Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 yes mate, i've never done shit all before like that, gave it a crack, done in half an hour, that was working on a 25degree slope, with those shitty single jacks you get out the back of fords after a few close encounters of almost losing the car (jack tipping over) i had it sorted in no time at all, which you should do providing you aint gotta swap springs etc.the setting up will be the important thing, defo get a pro to do it, someone like Leda etc, it'll take alot of fiddling to get the settings best for your use. Quote
NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 Awesome....My settings will be 'balls out daddy grip in all sorts of severe stages' coupled with 'Lower than raping your best mates gran'Will Leda understand that like I do? lol Quote
ecksjay Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 i'm sure they could work you something out grandad. Quote
NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 Maybe they could tune the Jag to 'not like a wobbly jelly on a bouncy castle' while they were at it. Quote
ecksjay Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 how would your tweed cap stay perched upon that stylish toupé if that were to happen ! Quote
NightSpirit Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 Oh Grandson...the secret of the rich and famous....Toupe tape ofcourse. It's used by all the greats like Ben Afleck, Jennifer Aniston etc etc Quote
ecksjay Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 i would so finger ben affleck. AND HE'D ENJOY IT. Quote
Idrees Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Nice rims, fancy swapping your wheel bolts for my rusty ones?!Loving that cage too! Quote
