Hi all sorry I’ve been busy and not had time to update via here. I’m currently making more of these as I’ve had so many requests. They are quite time consuming to produce but I should have the first 10 ready in about a week. I’ll be posting them on the no religion mods eBay store should you be interested. 🙂

I have had you saved as a seller for a while now hoping they would reappear 

They attach to the chassis and subframe the nut at rear of the bracket connects to the subframe and there is 2 bolts at the front of bracket which connect to the chassis all shown circled in white. The red is for the board nuts and the blue is for the w brace bolts

Sorry that should say replace the existing nuts with Rivnuts 

So far I have 12 m8 and 30 m6 think I may need a few more max 5, m6 to finish though

Looks great buddy, you got a link to the nut and bolts you used as i'm hoping to do this next.

So these are the washers and bolts I use most are m6 but there are some m8 ones too I will get you the number of each

I have used a few different things where there isnt a threaded hole available but mainly m6 flange nuts however I have just got a rivnut tool and planning to use this and replace all the current bolts with rivets

Thanks i know, I had looked at new and written it off, especially as all I want to do is disassemble it.

Really hoping someone has one laying around.

Hello, and welcome. Looks like a fine example

Cheeky little weekday tinker.

Had to fix my hazard light switch as MOT due next month.

Then swapping out more of the stupid plastic pop rivets, just need some more flange nuts so I can do the other side.

Not many left to swap out now then time for a thorough clean.

Not bothered on condition or even if it works. Someone must have an old one laying around please.

Well a successful day. Other than not being able to fit this

 It's a Front M brace and 2 of the mounting points are used by the ultra racing front brace.

so got the old ARB off, and without having to unbolt exhaust so was a better start.

So this was fitted along with the whiteline droplinks

Next fitted the rear Coilovers and springs but didn't get a picture of that for some reason.

Then on to fit the nice new kidney Braces.

Fitted the old bolts until the new ones arrive from Torqen.

Then finally on to the new W Brace had heard issues with clearance on the miltek but fitted with no issues

Couple more Braces to go but underside is nearly complete and car is definitely more planted and better to drive 

Back on the car this weekend with a long list of jobs, so far removed rear shocks and springs, rear ARB and droplinks, w brace and kidney Braces.

Old W brace was very rusted and i am sure this is common on lowered cars but not seen any one mention it the front of the oem brace had folded over the bolts.

Now that has been done will be doing some repairs and prevention on the body today, before fitting all the new shiny bits hopefully over the next few days.

If they are std seats I have 2 spare headrests I'm sure, the covers remove quite easily, I will check over the weekend if so.

Sorry post before should of said its not normally something you do yourself

It should of been done when it was imported. In your triple cluster in centre of dash is it reading mpg or km/l not that this would of been fixed at import but thats easy to change yourself. Are you sure have you done gps vs speedo to compare? I believe it is a chip required to convert it but its normally something you do yourself

Can't beat a bit of carbon in the engine bay, here's my DE also

 

No you can't, that's looking good, although I need to sand and relaquer my engine cover to get it back like yours

So only a small update but been a few weeks as I have been sunning myself abroad. But having missed the thing I treated her to few small pieces I had waiting to fit. More nuts, bolts, washers on slam pannel engine cover etc  but still more to add and replace slowly, and some bonnet struts. 

I may have some in the garage in KH3 Black. Will try look later

Have you checked your starter motor? There was an old trick on cars where if the car was on a bad point of the starter you needed to roll it past by bumping it slightlt, not sure if this is still a thing. I had similar before where the cables on battery or one was lose and was this exact symptom

As a born and bred Essex boy I take no offence in that comment

Welcome back, whilst I dread the Facebook groups, I only really post on here, interested to see what you have planned

I am talking about the 3 dials in the centre of the dash.
