Because the ride was AWFUL, TA technix and 400LB springs.
Also handles better on the 60mm ebay springs than the coilies, as the wheels actually stay on the road!

Well they're all done now.. And also fitted pressed plates, as the front was probably going to fail the MOT..

Im still laughing at the thought of you going to undo them with a screwdriver and failing and thinking "f*cking bastard" getting the mole grips and getting the screws out and finding the plates were still attached and having a bit of a rage.

Go to a doctor mate, you've been nice to more than one person now. I'm worried for you!
Cheers though..

Good progress buddy. I'll be interested to see what it's like with the spoiler if you get it!

Well I'm collecting shiny bits at the moment:
- R70 Pump
- 23.5mm TB's
- Rear Spoiler
- Solid rear beam mounts
- Turbo
And a few other bits...

Looking really nice, such a clean car. we seem to share taste when it comes to mods if you look at the details but overall have completely different cars, i really need to update/actually do a project thread. keep to see how the spoiler looks.

Not fully 100% on the turbo yet, I have a GT2052 here, but it'll be too much of a bugger to fit (off a landy so wrong hotside), so it's for sale.
So I need to re think.
Advice welcomed!

What size is the exhaust wheel on the 2052? Could you not get a turbo place to reem out a GT15 hotside to take it and then it would bolt straight on (baring some new boost pipes and poss oil hoses)

I'd been looking at the 2052 off a Merc c220. Then swap the cartridge over as mine's pretty much new.
But that's a good shout mate, I'll look into it. Pretty sure it's 47mm.

Will a 20 really go well into a 15 housing...? Not convinced that'll do the flow any good...
EDIT: Isn't the "52" the size of the exhaust turbine?
