@rex Ive seen those before... apparently an arse to fit. I dont think I need them now...

Picked up my car today. Alex had drilled/tapped and time-serted the 4 smaller console bolts... also finding out that my WALK bush had finally given way... so guess what?



... yep.. Superpro ALK.




Seems much better now, hopefully it stays that way.

Yeah... just cant justify any more spending than repairs at the moment.

Few more pics alex just sent over.





Its going into Wheels in Motion for full hunter alignment on Tuesday too, as they owe me a free one.  :smiley:

They messed up a bit last time i had some tyres changed, they drop the wheels on the caliper and pulled some paint off. Fortunately my old brakes... complained anyway

Not exactly bang on... but it will do until something else drops off and it needs doing again. Rear adjusters are seizing up so they need swapping out at some point... the list gets longer.

tbh probably none. Lots of stuff needs doing before I get to more power.

Get the routine maintenance out the way then start dreaming about turbo upgrades. Hybrid K04, Integrated Engineering inlet manifold... You know you want to. Or is that me, I get confused..?
