im gona have a stab at the pedal box & linkages, a mate of mine who preps rally cars and built up a your quatro from a bare shells gona sort out the the trickyer gubbins like servo, pipes and the major part of the conversion.

a company in glasgows gona split both my boxes and fit the quafe in with new bearings.

so alls good if we dont stumble into any problems.

worked at a garage 100 yards up the road from me so i have access to a ramp for anything i need to do on my car and as long as i dont take the piss everythings gravy.

also fitted some new leads so the car has finaly stopped misssing,

along with greenstuff pads and oe pads on the rear, was gona buy two new rear discs but at 160 a set was too much to justify it so just reconded the old set,

all new fluids and filters too,

ust need to sort out the timing belt then thats its major service over and done with

evey now and then engine light comes on, gona have to get that sorted out. B)

met up with haggis yesterday, he only stays just up the road from me.

his caris thourghouly modified, with jam ecu, front mount etc, way faster than mine

Looking good Geo - Finally some shots in the daylight :D

Are your wheels 16"? Any reason you're going through so many shockers or is it just the roads? Looking forward to getting mine now :D

nice mate. she's very similar to mine.

any reason why you didnt go for uprated rear shocks? i imagine they'll last longer to be honest.

also, how much does your mate want for his jam ecu? :D

cheers

sound thanx for the posetive coments guys :D

im thinking the reason i rip through so many shox is something to do with the roads around here,

lanarkshire has the worst roads in mainland britian fact!!!

i will upgrade to some adjustables at some point in the future but its quite far down on my list considering the shox are that cheap and easy to fit :D

spied an s5 rx7 intercooler on ebay, im stongly thinking about bidding on it.
