Ollies122 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks matey :) Tracking has been done and it was spot on :) It has settled a bit more just keeps getting lower ha :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverb Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 How did you go about getting the triple R splitter ? Message them privately on their Facebook ? Their page seems so messy to me I don't know if that's where they even sell them from ? Also how much did it cost you and how long was the wait from asking for one and receiving it? By the way your motor looks great, keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollies122 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hey I went to Finsport, but if you private message triple r on Facebook they will tell you what to paypal and all other details. I paid 97 for the splitter and the turn around was 2 working days (ordered on a Saturday and received on Tuesday) Thanks buddy Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollies122 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well due to my position in the family business changing, ST is going and company car is on the way, and sorry to say this but its a Vauxhall Astra GTC SRI 2.0l Diesel (GUTTED) but better on fuel and its a free car!when funds pick up again I'll be going Japanese for a full re-build, either a Supra or Skyline!. More than likely in the future i will be back in a blue oval as they have been fantastic cars to own. I will still be on the forum snooping around.

Only reason I ask is I'm wanting it done but it needs to be amble to clear the bumps lol What's it like to drive daily after being lowered is it a lot stiffer?
