Unless something major changes, I will make this.

Not sure who I met on the posers cruise since it was raining most of the time! Maybe nobody who will be out Saturday....

I wasn't there but don't worry about that mate I think everyone will agree that this meet is very relaxed and easy for all to talk to each other. Look forward to meeting another member.

Paul, you can describe front mount fitting for me might have to find a pre cut front bumper, so if anyone has one (230 feather white) let me know

I put on 29mm cusco arbs but I'm not sure what difference they've made because of putting them on with the coilovers. Does handle well what drop links did you fit Jason?

Thinking of some suspension mods for the blob, everything standard at the mo. Where's the best place to start - coilovers, arb's, droplinks, strut brace, etc......?

Also really ought to see to the standard brakes, maybe start with braided lines?

Check out the Godspeed site, Ian is doing a cracking deal o four grooved discs! wish I had gone for the braided upgrade as everything else was being done so would of made sense, although in all honesty I don't think my driving style warrants the use of braided lines!!

Yeah I need front n rear struts my front doesn't fit since fitting my fmic so need to sell that and buy a different one.
Not sure where is best to start to be honest, ive probably done mine all backwards.
See you Saturday Michelle
Andy with all the speed you do I think you need to think about stiffer suspension for all that hard cornering you do

Not to sure if I'll be able to make the neet this weekend guys

Mine is in desperate need of a clean. My last polishing effort was "mediocre" to say the least, so I've got my work cut out to get it looking sweet for Saturday. Weather looks ok at the mo......

Looking good Paul, suspension looks lots better, has it stopped the rubbing now? Camber looks like its better than it was.
I better get up early Saturday then to clean mine, don't want to be the dirty one in the corner! (car that is)
