Nice one, thanks. Went for rubber high pressure in the end, braided I found ended up being low pressure. Cheaper for the rubber too, good thing I didnt order last night!

Just a case of waiting now, still need that heater fan off mdw too, now, where is he?

All right! Heater fan on and working (full blast only, but it'll do!) and the engine bits from Jay arrived too! Got those cleaned up and sprayed, got the fuel line, clips, filters etc and an induction kit ordered too.

And now the waiting begins. Need to fit the shocks too, but lack of spring compressors is hindering the process somewhat!

First time I've seen sun in a while, so got some pics up at clifton bridge. Mmmmm hazey sunlight . . .









Still just waiting on the bits from Adam on here. Proper itching to do the swap now. 99% sure it'll be next tuesday now. Same as always, I can't bloomin wait!

Ah sweet, that road is on my commute.

I was at brizzle for the weekend for a family wedding kept an eye out for any 300's on my journey, saw zilch

Where abouts are you located speedy? And theo, where bouts did you go in brizzle. should have said, could have met up for a quick pint!

Westbury Park - just off Kellaway Ave

thursday was in weston super mare, friday i was in Bristol city center then saturday i was in yatton for the wedding and sunday i was so hungover i was in bed haha. had a nice burn about with my brother in his m3 on the way there and back, surprisingly had the m3 doing 43mpg at one point thats the best we could get and we were in 6th doing 90

Ah not too far from me then! On wednesday I think me and a couple of mates are going to a pub somewhere if you wanted to convoy along. Its still undecided but . . . 730pm. I'll find out ze details.

Cool, I'll have to check the schedule at work

One damper fitted. Proper nice now, no more oscillation! Just nice smooth damping, on one side. Finishing friday.

One thing I have noticed, is the front left wheel sticks out more than the right (when straight). Its always pulled to the left slightly, since I had it, however I can see it visually. They are equally spaced, same width wheels, nothing is bent or loose, and at the mo its leaning on a hill (perpendicular to the slope). The only thing I can think of is the perished bushes have shifted the weight to the right of the car, but that'd be minimal surely.

I know the tracking needs to be done too. When the wheels are turned, the left is more turned than the right. What I don't want to find is that I've done something detrimental while fitting the shocks. It was before the shock fitting however that "apparently" the unequal spacing was evident, as my mate pointed it out, I just thought he was making fun, I notice it now though. Wish I had a proper lift so I could stand underneath it!

Nice photos, especially the first one!

Cheers Steve!
