Well the misses has been nice. She listened to me for once and understood that I'd changed my mind on what I wanted for Xmas. I am no longer having the Triple R splitter for Xmas but some Eibach Springs. They are in the post and im allowed them straight away.

Who's a lucky boy!!

Don't worry, still getting the splitter ;) for my bday.. Two weeks after Xmas ahaha

  • Just realised no Ford Fair Photos went up. Took 16 hours to prep the motor and was really happy with the way it turned out. Was nice to meet a couple of you guys even though I wasn't on your stand.

  • So, Spring will officially start next week so I thought I would give the car a quick Spring clean. This morning was a little on the chilly side so I decided to use Mequiars gold wash and wax to get a

So these babies arrived in the post today.

Going to get a couple of mates over next week to get them fitted which is quite exciting !

The reversing camera was meant to turn up today but is now due on Monday. Was planning to fit that this weekend as a mini mod but oh well. Stay tuned :)

Well my eibach are fitted and I must say it drives like an absolute dream and feels so much firmer **not harsher**

The reversing camera is mainly wired in. Going to finish off in the week hopefully :)

No justice without pics. Whats the gap in arches like?

I knew they'd be someone that wanted to see pictures. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to give it a good clean, nor have I taken any decent photos with the updated springs. So here is what I have at the minute.

Yunii, the gap is more than sufficient with the 17" wheels. I haven't had any problems with arch contact more bumps in the road.

As I said above though, really impressed with the performance and I feel that the car handles a lot better! I am now going to use it briefly over the next two weeks to let the springs bed in and then take it to get the tracking done. Hopefully then I can begin to enjoy it again without thinking about uneven tyre wear.

Looking good. I've had the Eibachs in for a few months now and am very happy with them too. As you say the ride isn't harsh but it is firmer and there's significantly less roll now.

I had my tracking done when I had them fitted and have been monitoring tyre wear closely - so far no issues.

Unsure ATM.. I did take a look when I had the boot apart at the motor and things. See how it all goes. I've got the Triple R to go. Potentially bonnet vents and exhaust. You doing owt?

TBH I am really happy with the camera performance both day and night. Unsure if it is a worth while addition at the moment because I don't have shoddy reversing skills and it's just a nice to have.

If I would change it, it anyway, I would probably make it smaller as I feel it is quite proud. But then again, a reversing camera isn't there to look pretty, it's there to be functional. Plus it keeps all my backbone ICE Pioneer.

that looks a nice bit of kit you got.
