quick note on the Springs vs. MOT i have by springs cable tied to both the top and bottom spring cups to keep them located. passed an MOT with no issues. obviously use proper man sized cable ties but they carry very little weight

going back a page but...

i always use hose clips, jubilee clips etc. they are far stronger and arent liable to snap at the wrong moment!!
its what we do on my landy,
its either that or dislocation cones :mrgreen:

Never seen your reply Ben, hose clips sound a good idea. I have some massive cable ties mind. :lol:

The weakest update ever...

Replaced some fkd up interior trim yesterday.

Dropped my disklok on the ashtray a while back. :roll:
Replaced with one from that A reg 340 breaker that was on eBay

Totally different :/ I'll swap the lids over as I much prefer mine. Can't believe they even changed that lol.

Out with the old, in with the new (to me) lol

Snapped a few pics last night also whilst out n about. NB: I can no longer use the multi storeys as they maul the underside of the car. FFS.

Hard to see, but that's a Red Bull can under the rear spring platform. No wonder it catches everywhere. -3" on this tyre profile, and the thing wouldn't be able to move. :roll: :lol:

Some pics came out OK IMO. Hard to tell when taking them, was set on manual with manual zoom, my coats hood kept covering my head and it was freezing so maybe not the best choice. :lol:
I also need to look at securing my centre section higher if possible.

Told you it was the weakest update ever. lol

Looking great dude! Nothing wrong with a few more pics ;)

Are you using a tripod? Something doesn't quite look right on a couple of them, can't figure out whether it's camera shake or focusing

Thanks sir 340pw

Aye tripod for some, it's probably the focusing as I had the lens on manual and my eyes are sh!t. lol
i can't use full auto as that's all a mate of mine uses on his DSLR and it's become a bit of a joke. Point click. Next.
I like to mess about with the ISO, shutter speed, WB etc. but don't really know what I'm doing. lol

TBH I just wanted to check out the graf/dump location to see what it would look like. Pretty effective IMO - when there's not a n00b behind the lense lol.

I will revisit with my mate who knows his stuff.

I never noticed camber on the front wheels before last night I have to say. :lol:

We'll enlist Mark mate. 340pw He's the man. He was there last night with me, with his cam so we should have some much better ones from the car park, Sportsdirect.com@Sid James Park no less. :P lol

Would be cool to have a shoot with a few, or at least two 300's also IMO. 8)
