    Look what arrived

    Just under 80 quid delivered When the centre is open, any chance I could borrow your spring compressors if I bring the struts down please?
  2. I have the Toyo's T1-S...maybe they're me problem! They will need replacing soon and I won't be getting them again as they wear too quickly!
  3. Tried posting yesterday but the forum was down? Camber kit arrived so just waiting for the new centre to open so I can fit them and then run it down to Tony for him to work his magic
  4. I check my tyres all the time, once a week if I can. I did have them on 30psi and have since increased to 32psi. I did try a higher pressure but the car handled differently, didn't feel as grippy to me, especially on the front. Jon - are you saying the brand of tyre can affect it as well?
  5. Cheers for the link Someone on MEG just mentioned something similar, bit pricey for me though unless I go for the lite type. Do you think this would be ok for manifolds? There's only about 3 - 4" clearance between the manifold and intercooler so want to try something to reduce the heatsoak. I may look at getting a custom stainless steel cover made, shouldn't need it that big.
  6. Would the difference in fuel consumption change drastically? It's just that I've noticed I'm not getting as many MPG as I used to, after I lowered it and fitted the 17's. I thought it was just the wider tyres causing it but since I found out that on one side the camber is out I'm wondering if this is having an affect also?
  7. I don't think this has been asked before but just curious to know. Does a cars geometry have any affect on the MPG....for example if the alignment was well out of spec I assume this puts more pressure/strain on the chassis and tyres driving them harder.
  8. Yes it is, not bad for a camera phone photo I had a play with it in photoshop and the avatar is a reduced version of this. As for putting cossie vents in the bonnet I'm not too keen on them.
  9. Looks like it is cast iron so I've forgotten that idea now, gonna look at getting a heat shield made up
  10. Really like those mate, suit the car a treat

    A mini meet outside WIM

    Jammy and me at the new centre :D
  12. Wondered when you would notice! I took a few pics the other day when I was there, I will stick them in the gallery
  13. Yes I did read that somewhere as well but from what I've asked the OEM seems to be cast steel not iron, but then I can't be 100% sure of that. Is there anyway I can find out? A heat shield sounds like a good alternative though, will have to see what I could do with that. Would stainless steel be ok for one?
  14. As the intercooler is directly above the manifold on my car I'd like to get some heat wrap and try to reduce the heatsoak, especially in the summer months. Seen some on ebay but I'd rather not go there! Can anyone recommend some and where I can get it from, also how it is normally applied? Cheers
