  2. thanks for the swift replies glad to hear this, ill get some exhaust paste on it so should tie me through the MOT, ill check halfords tomorrow, if not eBay :thumbup: similar position to me then richmillions, typical timing eh cheers guys
  3. Ok so was sitting in the car this evening and got out to notice water running from underneath the car. Took a look underside and looks pretty clear to be coming from the join/clamp between te backbox and mid pipe. I have the car booked in for an MOT this Friday (8th) and wondering if this could fail it? Annoying thing is the weekend after the MOT I shall be putting on another exhaust, it's just as it's bit of a custom job I'm not Ite how loud it would be so thought I better wait till after the mot before fitting. So could this be an issue? Easily rectified with some paste? Cheers

    vinyl wrap

    Another vote for hexis vinyl. Although hexis carbon is quite expensive..
  5. Looking smart mate. Really like the wheels, how is the front caliper clearance?
  6. im good at the moment thanks mate, cheers anyway though
  7. Anyways brakes on. After a little drive, still need some of that black coating off. Thinking of getting some braided hoses too.
  8. Iv wondered myself in the past. If he's your mate can you not just try them?
  9. You want a magnetic pickup tool like this I reckon http://buymagnets.com/product/235/Magnets-Flexible/ Got mine from Halfords for like £4 or so. ...... Or is a locking wheel but socket stainless??
  10. Slight change of plan. Wet about test fitting the wheels and all seemed to stick out a mile, fronts, with stretch I could just get away with however backs seemed to be a mile out the arches, which I can't understand as I was trying to replicate the stance of a few people on here. But cougar store sorted me out (thanks again for an amazing service) Anyways I'll show you show fitted pics. 10j rear et15 and 9.5j et20 Front With a 245 tyre on. As I say I could just get away with this although the backs were my main concern.. I did fit the rears with a tyre and say it down but unfortuably didn't get a picture, but still a standard jacked up test fit: And here is one with the front (9.5j) on the back. This is more what I was looking for with regards to how it sits in the arch. I shall revisit the wheel situation in the new year. Untill then, some brakes! Black diamond discs front and back (6 groove) and black diamond pads to match should be on Saturday Also will be test fitting my v1 replica skirts next weekend (thanks to some advice from Rodgeevans ) Also have an exhaust on the way, hoping it's something a bit different
  11. Have my MOT coming up and 1 of my front although has a about 4mm tread is quite worn on the inside (still legal though I checked) although I am worried what MOT man will say, so wouldn't Mind picking up a cheap front tyre to temporarily replace it. Have re40's on the from so if anyone has one of these even better cheers 225/45/18 cheers
  12. Why is camber adjustment needed on a 30mm drop?
  13. What size tyres you running 350zad?
  14. I had a leak from around that place, literally poured out when i tried topping my windscreen washer fluid up, turned out to be the hose running towards the healight washers
  15. I had similar findings as you iMystic, with regards to trying to match people running the same setup and seemingly getting a different result. I recently has some 9.5et 20 front and 10 et15 (1mm less outer extension than the sizes mentioned above) and i found they stuck out the arches a lot. I too can vouch for the great service from cougar store, I can't fault the service he's given me and would recommend to anyone.
  16. he does have a few other components such as the Y pipe, i wonder how these affect the sound?...
  17. im hoping to do this after xmas, so hopefully ill be able to shed some light after then
  18. Another little update, attempt 2 of the wheels. Just a little teaser pic untill I can source 2 more tyre and get them fitted Many thanks to cougar store for sorting me out! great service and very quick delivery
  19. PM'd Think they might be pilot sport 2's after a closer look
