Been a while since I updated this, so to bring this thread up to speed.
I had all the suspension (koni/eibach) and skunk 2 camber arms fitted and aligned - what a difference!
I then moved house, and the car got broken into, they attempted to steal it and managed to get to the barrel, a fuse saved the car being driven away!
I then had an alarm/immob with remote start fitted, and central locking.
They also bent my steering column, so I fitted a second hand one.
Then the car needed an MOT, and all I needed to do was change a rack gaiter.
I purchased an ITR 1" MC and larger servo from Saint Matt (couple of weeks ago)
I warped my 282's so fitted some new EBC 282mm discs a couple of weeks ago.
I bought some Innovative mounts (steel with track 75a poly, £180), fitted the gearbox and engine mounts today, but leaving the rear for my mechanic as I've hear it is a joke to do.
No juddering/hopping pulling away now, and no slack gear changes! A fair bit of cabin vibration at idle but think that will settle down.
I bought a snap-off steering wheel kit from Stoo, but can't get my Momo champion horn to sit in the steering wheel without it being permanently pinned down
First pic of the car on it's lowered suspension (although it has been like this for well over a year now!)
The car has an age old problem of pulling to the right under braking, I've replaced literally everything except for the two rear calipers. I'm hoping the nearside rear caliper is siezed, causing mroe fluid to be pushed through the offside right caliper and hence the reason that rotor was a) distorted/warped soon after fitting, and b) it locks up first and pulls the car that way.
I've ordered 262mm discs and mintex pads, and some MGZS180 rear calipers/carriers (currently stuck in Doncaster due to the recent snow issues).
Stainless D16 manifold next, as my OEM is leaking!
Cheers,
Con
