The brakes will be sweet when I get them fitted I'm sure. I have 245's on the rear so 20mm spacers making et15's will be a bit much I think. I'll have a look at one of arch enemys threads to check:thumbs:Quote:

looking good chris :thumbs: - always room for more bling though lol. i keep pestering the efl guy to make more but he says he's busy developing other stuff...i suggested - and i think hes going to be making a stainless plate next to cover the area between the plenum and rocker and all the wiring loom/injectors etc will then be covered up - maybe my noisy ass injectors wont be clicking as loudly then too:).
how do you find the pineapple rings? i fitted locking collars and found them too harsh and noisy so took them off and am looking to polybush instead, but those would do just as good a job i'm sure for now - plus they're cheap which is always good.... :)
I thought you were cutting back the spending:D A cover to go between the rockercover and plenum sounds like a good idea but I am sure I should be spending my money elsewhere:wack: I have got a polished plenum to fit tho, I just need to improve the shine on it a bit.Quote:

cheap, small stuff my man - its the way forward lol. at the moment i really havent the time for the total underbody strip down i had planned and the rings would be a quick fix. do they transfer any more noise?
They may transmit a little more noise but they are not bad at all. I can hear a very small amount of diff whine but it's a lot less intrusive than an uprated gbox mount for instance:nod:Quote:

get some one to photoshop em onto your car, use a side on pic of yours and steal one side on pic of mejulies car, in thethread below . JC's the man at pshopin :nod:

I might do that nearer the time mate. I am a fair way off being able to afford new wheels yet:( Got to fit the stuff I already have and then get some coilovers sorted:nod:Quote:

I seem to of gone against the grain as I actually prefer the cream leather to the black as it stops the cabin from being a sea of black:nod:
They are still in need of a clean especially the passenger one as I had to rebuild the cream leather on to my old black leathers seat base/runners:nod:

Here's a pic of the cars, only one I got unfortunately although I think that crouch21 might have a couple better ones:thumbs:

I now have a small problem that I noticed on the way back home last night. The car has become very vague from the backend so I will now have to investigate this. I have locking colars fitted and all the tyre pressures are fine so I don't really know where to start looking:(
cream leather looks much better then black dont it.
my old 14a had black leather and the interior was so wellll BLACK dark and dull, the cream lightens it up nicely :)
what you me by vague?
Yeah I think it's a lot better but most people seem to do the swap from cream to black:confused:
When I say vague I mean that I had no confidence in taking corners at any kind of speed as the rear doesn't feel very planted at all, it was actually a little scary taking some motorway corners at any speed ~80 leptons:eek:
I have a feeling my alignment is out but i am used to that, it could well be that the standard shocks have failed I guess.
