I should imagine I'll be there.

Unless you have done them a lot, then I wouldn't bank on it taking you less than 4 hours, tbh. It's not the speediest of jobs mate. :(

Surely it should be easier on a ramp with all the tools i need at hand! Shall see what happens!

I should be there :thumbs:

Got the S13 through its MOT retest today :D , so I might give it an outing (after it missed Japfest and the RR day :annoyed: ) but I'm not sure my welding's fit for public display :wack:

Well, Ive got mine back together tonight and gone for a spin, and it handles like crap.
Unless I can get it aligned so that it handles a bit more predictably, I don't fancy driving all the way over to cheltenham :(

maybe we should have the meet at your garage to lend a hand :D

What have you had done to it then?

I've fitted adjustable suspension arms on the back, and they need a bit of tweaking :smash:

Easiest thing to do then would be to measure the arms you took off, then adjust the new ones yourself to as near as you can get it. Then, set out early to the meet and go to protyre down Bristol road in Gloucester and have them set them up for you. You can't book a time, though, as it's just turn up and wait to be done. It won't cost the earth, though. Your car will be fine to drive around as long as you don't go caining it anywhere.

I should be ok to come again now I've adjusted it a bit again tonight with the aid of my guessometer :p , it feels alot more stable now.
I thought i did get them to the same settings as the standard arms in the first place, but I obviously didn't because it was scary to drive at 30.
I don't think having 7psi in one of the tyres helped matters though :wack:

Thats exactly how I've done mine now Seth. I used a fence post that's about 8ft long :D

Fcuk :annoyed: Thought I hide my welding with a coat of underseal before the meet, so I've just been cleaning out the wheel arches. I found a small patch of rust at the back, and now I've cleaned it, it's turned into a 4" hole :mad:

I should be able to weld like a pro by the time I've finished this sodding car :rolleyes:

Looks like the S14 will be out again tomorrow :(
