thanks for all the comments £50 is right the H-brace still isnt fitted. STILL havnt got round to it lol Had a couple of updates since tho My mate got me a X-bar made up as i saw the one he had made for his and the quality is superb!!! so much better than the 2 strut braces!

How it came

and the pile of old bits lol

then my new energy bushes turned up

Getting it booked in at Hond-R for the bushings to be fitted as thats one job i dont wanna do myself! getting some buddyclub front and rear camber adjusters put on at the same time and getting it set up cant wait for it to be done!!, More updates soon!

 

[darkside]

Nice updates Neil, but can I have some of those parts please, you got too many

 

[ramboteamjon]

Nice updates Neil, well done! Me and my mate installed the same energy bush kit on my old ek3, made a great difference. But it was a NIGHTMARE job, took us 3 whole days! but saved me plenty money doing it myself.

 

[NeilVtec]

yeah i considered doing it myself but i have a fairly limited tool kit and the amount of bolts that wud probably end up rounded or ****ed would cost me the same to replace all the bolts and buy a good toolkit as it would to pay someone to do it,,, so getting Hond-R on the case as i know theyl do a good job, plus i need my car for work so the possibility of siezed bolts half way through would leave me up **** creek haha More updates soon hopefully after the trip to hond-R itl have new camber adjusters/ all energy bushings in, H-brace on, Braided brake lines on , and then il be on the search for a 282 conversion lol

 

[olly ek9]

I have recently bought my tyres ready for the ring. and unexpectedly bought them second hand becuase that way i got some wheels included only £280 and theyve got plenty of tread left for what i need!

Now just a case of getting
full set of bushes fitted,
camber kits fitted,
H-brace fitted,
Braided lines fitted,
New Pads allround
oilchange just before i go!
and getting the R888's put on my sprintharts instead of the new wheels so i can use the new ones as dailys Il keep you posted!

 

[Kozy]

Let me know how you get on with bushes, I havent got round to fitting mine yet, but would like to attempt at least a few before I go to Cadwell on the 27th!

 

[NeilVtec]

im getting ALL of mine done somewhere, i would try some myself but without the propper tools and a ramp it will take me longer than a weekend and i need my car for work

 

[stuarty7]
