Hows your bonnet sitting and the bonnet stand bar does it sit properly into the two plastic clips ok?

The bonnet sits absolutely fine.

I had to grind the lip off the panel where it's meant to go round the back of the slam panel as it just wouldn't sit flush.

I also had to take the rubber strip that runs across the bonnet that normally sits on the slam panel.

I had to do a bit of work to the slam panel too.

And it sits on them so it doesn't move but it doesn't clip into them no, the panel won't let it sit low enough. If I ever get round to it I'll try and raise the clips.

Just ordered some parts from GKTech in Australia!

Improved fan! 60% more efficient, they've got an offer on until tomorrow for 70% off this fan making it $19 instead of $79!!



And I've ordered the coolant neck spacer to put my defi water temp sender in as it looks so much neater than the chopped top hose.



I've conveniently got a mate who works out in Australia so he's bringing them home for me

Not seeing the discount mate?

You need to be on their news letter or use the promo code 'ourfanssuck' at the checkout Lee.

They would be ideal for me but i reckon the postage will be high !

I keep seeing this. What's the purpose of it?

Instead of cutting the top rad hose to put an adaptor block in for your gauge's water temp sender, this just spaces out the coolant block on the head and has a tapped hole in it for you to screw your sender into, just a neater more efficient solution and only $35

Ah right cool. So same thing as a oil sandwich plate. That's a really good idea.

Yep all their stuff is similar, very innovative!

Update

So managed to snap up some new wheels the other day and I picked them up from Exeter last night!

Veilside Andrew Racing V

Rear: 18" x 12" et-8
Front: 18" x 9.5" et3










Got my tyres fitted this morning and then I've just dropped then on the car, can't believe how perfectly they fit, no spacers -2.5 front camber and -1.2 rear camber!







Im in love with them

[finch]

I think that looks stunning Sean.

Its really made me think should i get over fenders for mine before paint !

what the spec on your over fenders . SRB ?

[59bhp]

Dammit I've been waiting ages to order a fan and I missed the discount as it doesn't seem to work now :s

[Sean-B]

Just got a mint condition enginebay under tray for £15 on eBay! Bargain!

[Sean-B]

Did a bit today...

[finch]

Scrubbage Sean ?

Scrubbage Sean ?

Yea it's catching literally by a few mm. It's the big rim protector the eagle F1s have that is catching. I'm going to have to go from -1.5 to -1.75 camberz I think. I can't stand any kind of rubbing as I want to be able to use the car to its full ability.

[finch]

My mate has been trying to get his to not catch while drifting with overfenders too . He's only on 9.5 all round but has just fitted geomasters all round .

Still don't know what to do with mine !

[mitchies14]

Looks the nuts on the new rims!!

hi mate wondering if you can help i'm just in the process of fitting the same kit. How did you got about securing the side skirts on the car? Im worried about movement if just bolted underneath. effectively looking for a solution just in front of the rear wheels.

Thanks.

Two screws into the return at the front of the rear wheel arch. Two screws into the return at the back of the front wheel arch and a bolt into the top of the sill. No bolts along the bottom.

Hope that helps.
