Well, small update. Finally got the bottom arms done. Took 4 days at a garage I won't be using again.
Day 1, car was forgotten about. Day 2, he started but didn't ring me to ask if the powerflex bushes could be chopped a bit, so got nowhere. Day 3, put the arms together, tried fitting and realised one was bent. Day 4, stripped, sandblasted, painted and fitted the bushes to the original arms and fitted them and the drop links.
So, she handles soooo much better and just needs lowering a bit more on the front and exhaust rattle needs sorting.
Only other thing I wanna do before Pugfest if I can is get a Maniflow Exhaust 4/2/1 manifold put on, but will see!!

No, usually do FCS, but didn't like Combe, so doing Pugfest instead. Really looking forward to it...

Yeah personally prefer pugfest not many if any chavs/knobs/bellends
Also the hill is so addictive and relatively safe compared to track time.

Pugfest is easily the best show out of that and FCS.

Not a big Fan of Combe, plus it's a long way to drive to drive in a big triangle and drive home again...!!

Well, I do want another, but will have to see how my insurance is affected and how much I get for mine. Not heard anything from the engineers yet. Will probably be Monday...!

It's a good solid 6 with a few body work issues, will tart her up and give her some love!

Yeah, this is a make do car! Nowhere near as clean or tidy as the Rallye was. It needs some body work bits doing. Rims need a re-furb.
