Lol. If I was still on them I would have been upside down through that corner. I personally use the 595 over the evo any day but I have found they have a limit. I've changed to kuhmo at this stage. 1 2 in the champion ship they must be ok. They have so far been light years ahead but they are way expensive

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

I have several aspects to revamp on the. Car but can't seem to get into it. Any one got a way to get yourself motivated?

This weather doesn't help much. If you have a goal it helps, as in set a date. Although we figured out you have to be realistic haha.

Spent a bit of time today doing surgery on our car, nothing major just cutting out battery tray which is diseased with rust!

Not sure how much I need to cut out though, if you look at pic below you can see a few areas I have cleaned up with wire wheel that are pitted from rust but not rusted through, do these areas need to go as well or is it ok to just treat and paint?

Just coating that should be fine

Yeah as jangles said just treat and paint. As long as the Strength of the metal is still there then there's no need to remove it. By cleaning it up like you have and treating it with a metal conditioner/rust converter it will never come back as long as you coat it properly.

So thinking of installing my new BC coilovers myself soon when i get the time, any tips to make it go smoothly, im pretty sure i can do the fronts no problems, just the back im a bit unsure of, ive seen a vid on youtube where he just removes the rear seat, but ive read somewhere that you need to remove the parcel shelf?

also other than height is there anything else i need to adjust before/during install? im prob gonna put the damper on soft as its for the street, but anything else you guys could recommend?

Finally found some motivation. Got a stack of work done to the car today. Repainted one and touthed up the other rims that got badly gravel rashed at symmons. Oil change and sump guard fitted. I've also been revamping the back end and removing weight where I can. Found the toe rod ball joint loose and replaced it with the only spare I have.. Brought a spot drill bit and been in studying panels where I can. Also got some alloy to start making a rear diffuser. On track for round 3. Also hoping to get to the legerwood lane hill climb.

Not too sure you can mate. If your talking about the little spring that sits below the main spring it's just there to locate the top spring and stop it from moving off the seat when under full extension.

ok well from what i figured about he coilovers, the very bottom collar is for lowering/raising the car, and the top one adjusts the preload, the one just below it, makes sure it doesnt move, and from vids and reading new springs can 'settle' so one vid said to tighten the preload by about 5mm to account for that, and i have been told that you just adjust it after bit of driving... just wanted to see if what others have done, so ill prob just install them and check them after a few days...

is it ok just to take it off?

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
