Update ****************

Right so yesterday the weather was good so i started cracking i wanted to adjust the suspension all round adjust the spring rate as it was very stiff so managed to get the rear strut brace off and get the rear suspension off which didnt take 10 minutes. i wanted to strip the coilovers right down and give them a real good clean but i didnt have time as the postman came to bring me my cv joints that i ordered from Tuning Developments ordered friday here monday morning what great service cheers MIKE :)

I had to get my cv joints done as they were knocking really bad so i cracked on with them managed to get one side off no issues but could'nt get the driveshaft out of the other side so i changed the cv joint with the driveshaft still in :) after i sorted that i adjusted the front suspension and it's so much better than before still got alot more stuff to do but all in good time here's some pictures enjoy :)

Another Update *********************

Another nice day today so got cracking didnt really do to much just removed the bumper and cleaned underneath a little bit and polished the intercooler ran into a few problems like the plastic inner arches wrecked the clips so had to use a few zip ties & cut the under arch in half but i did underseal the parts that will be exposed to the weather..

Looking really good bud, Respect for the way your going about this, sorting every little issue this is how everyone should go about things! One thing though, get some axle stands! :D

thanks mate yeh its a slow process. still alot i want to do. and i have some but there really big and its really hard to fit them underneath lol

i didnt get underneath the car anyway just made it easier to undo the clips.

Not alot going on recently as the weather has been bad again. still having a few issues with a creeking noise and a slight knock on the front left hand side so when the money in the bank i'm going to get the following



Ball Joints


Track Rod Ends



hopefully it might be one of these could be something else unsure atm the arb bushes are fine as there near new so don't think it will be them.plus my power steering belt has started squeeling when cold which the previous owner gave me a new original bolt to replace it as it was bent.



I'll post a few more pictures up and a video very soon




here's one i found a few weeks ago enjoy :)
