Been busy with the exhaust.
The upturned tip fell off and left me with the exhaust hanging under the boot floor so I had a new one welded up using very very minimal silencing...

This thread is genius! following with great interest and also looking at the coilovers for my tourer.
Any news on new wheels? stanced would be a great way forward.
If you see a gold tourer being driven round portsmouth by someone other than a pensioner its most likely me!

Agreed, how have you found the coilovers so far?

fathead431 · 29th May 2014, 12:15

Thanks guys

Coilovers have been a pain to get fitted right, I had a problem with the upper bushing getting pulled out of the top mount, scary, but a few tacks with a welder sorted it.
I think they're far from uncomfortable, but I have very tall tyres so I imagine that zt wheels and tyres would give a pretty rough ride although probably not unbearable.
Will let you know ASAP what it's like when I get new wheels!

Deeply disapproving of your gear lever. It's Old Peculier or go back 3 spaces I'm afraid.

I don't normally include the pictures in a quote but 'Ooh shiny' covers it I think!

Never ended up fitting it! It was just too heavy, going to make a giant ***** gearknob from walnut

Edit :can't say that word, even though it's the actual term for that type of gearknob. It's a phallic self pleasuring device.
