I have no words to describe my disapointment!! :(

Only went for a test drive, and they aint prepared to do a deal :)

Disappointed??? that's rich coming from you!!!! you owned a vauxhall hahahahahaha

Good excuse to get a Focus ST instead!? ;)

Ha i'd love to but the GF will be driving it more than me and she thinks the new focus ST is UGLY compared to other cars on the market, so i got told NO! :(

Exciting text :P


Springs and front splitter have been dispatched and will be with me tomorrow :)

That's a shame! MK2 RS?? :P Or just hold out for next years Mustang... ^_^

@martyn: your car looks mega on those springs can't wait for mine now :)

@james: focus rs is tempting but I will end up modifying it to the max which apparently I'm not allowed to do haha

And the mustang nope it's going to be poo as it's not a V8!!! Pathetic.com

YES I KNOW THE CAR NEEDS A WASH HA!

So today has been a very productive day, finally got round to having the springs fitted and the triple R splitter (had help)

Before:

During:

Then the splitter:

After:

Fitting the splitter is easier if you have axel stands and a jack, but the car on the axel stand and offer the splitter up using the jack and then drill (easy)

looking good and like the spliter

Thanks matey :)

Tracking has been done and it was spot on :)

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!

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

Looking good Ollie!

Looking good Ollie!

thanks man :)

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.

Cheers

Looking good guys keep it up

Shame youre going so soon! had a standard astra for a rental recently and while its not the same, the chassis was at leat tuned for handling so all is not lost with your GTC!

Thanks for your help with the amsterdam lights, look forward to seeing your next project B)

Sorry mate didn't see ya last post I'm so sorry your leaving hope u come back to ford some day another member lost from this big family

How low did u drop the car by does it clear speed bumps ? 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?
