Not bothering with Carmens, mate of mine said that it was, and I quote, "fuller than a fat girls underpants" lol.

Gonna go Vinyl and then maybe Hunters (it's "Sphere" now by the way - no matter what they do it's still gonna be the seediest club in the Shire!)

smurfy 04-08-2012 08:03 PM

Ahahaha awesome way to put it!

Yeahh sphere, aka, hunters whatever you wanna call it lol they love changing the name :/

maz sp20 05-08-2012 09:52 AM

Car is looking very good, does the the paint work look as good in person?

swift jimmy 05-08-2012 04:50 PM

It will always be known as Hunters or Dirty H no matter how hard they try changing it :-)

Maz Sp20 - Thanks mate.. in person paint work looks good but dont look to close hahahahhaa

Went for a drive down the natio today after putting everything back in the car and abit of interior clean.. have to say the back of the car feels like its on rails..no sliding around either thanks to the Bridgestone RE-001's.. cant wait to get my rear strut brace on there aswell (yes i know over kill but *shoulder shrug* why not) :-D

BG1.8sp 05-08-2012 04:59 PM

Rear strut brace isn't over kill at all... Defs worth it!
Car looks
Nice man! Next thing on my shopping list... (after finally installing my bushes, brakes and respray is some coilovers too :) )

Have any issues with the swaybar touching the subframe?

Also.. Rear swaybar is just a 2point adjustable... Not a great deal
Of difference anyway

swift jimmy 05-08-2012 05:34 PM

Ive sent an email to corksport seeing if they still do them as its $150ish including shipping

Thanks Dude :-D yeah going away from the whole black on black thing

ummm not that i can see.. only issue i have is i need to rotate the bolt swasher thing on the left hand side at the end of the trailing arm 45% cause its wacking on that.

JDM323 05-08-2012 07:06 PM

can't wait my rear bar is on it's way also

Lepsche323 05-08-2012 11:29 PM

Well as some of you know my rear sway bar has been banging around like a crazy fat kid on to much cake.. anyway last night after having a couple of drinks i had an epiphany..

What if i took apart my rear ADJUSTABLE sway bar links and redo it all with more length (rather then having the ends all the way in)... and guess what it WORKED :-D !!!!

Aaron thank you for coming to mod day so i could look under your car to see why mine was so stupid

BG1.8sp 19-08-2012 11:55 AM

No worries dude, glad u got that sorted! Didn't realise you already had adjustables... Otherwise u woulda suggested that :p

swift jimmy 20-08-2012 10:06 PM

Update 20/08/2012

- Right Rear Caliper Replaced... thanks Haighie :-)
- Rear Corksport Strut Brace Installed

Got my rear strut brace today at work got home 2night and it got the better of me and HAD to be installed.. so started tearing apart the boot once again.. Photos of finished product.. have about 5-6cm from top of sub rubber to the brace :-D
