UNIbraces XB & UB - Review (UPDATED 23rd Oct)....
E30Dom:
Robin, if you're not nut locking your xb in place it would be worth getting a T-Handle allen key, and periodically checking the tightness of the bolts... Plus the t-handle allen key is the quickest tool to use if you need to remove so good to have in the glovebox... :happy2:
Anymore reviews from other parties?

....Are you recommending I use different fixings (nuts?) instead of the flush Allen fixings supplied? If not flush, won't they foul the back of the seats when they are up?
Or are you saying that an Allen key T-handle tool would be better than this ratchet tool which I keep in the car anyway to use on my engine cover?:

Haha seems you one step ahead of me RR... No, use the fasteners supplied, and that tool looks spot on. Just periodically check the tightnesss if not using thread lock was really my point.... :happy2:

Been out with the other half this morning so no spirited driving done (so far :evilgrin: ). That being said, there is definitely something tangibly different and better about the car. :happy2:
Firstly the car feels more "solid" while driving so much so that the wife commented the ride was firmer. On the bends it feels more more planted with sharper turn in and that it inspires confidence to drive a little faster.
Bear in mind I only have the UB so going by Robin's review of just the XB, having both XB and UB should make quite a difference in the car's overall handling charactistics.

Thanks, Dom. As Bruce suggests, I can add some Blue Loctite. I am going to use the Blue Loctite on the UB on Thursday anyway.
