LOL, only just seen this. That was me. Used to live just across the road from the Marriott.

It was by the pub, Chineham arms? I was in my black 182.

Anyone from here?

04 for me.

Cheers. Will give it a check over.

Actually, what colour was it?

Thanks for the warning.

Tuesday evening around half 6. ​I was in the 182. Your car looked mint condition.

​+1, I have this on my car and it's great.

Legend. Thanks!

Getting my geo set... Going to go for 2 camber and 0.1 minutes toe out. The camber I'm happy with, but have I got my units correct for the toe setting?

Parts total to around £450ish

​I've got the old cup wishbones off my car for sale if you want them?

Definitely! It's taken me a couple of months to get the parts together. Off the top of my head: Dampers £40-45 each (£180) Powerflex £100 Inner track rods £80 Outers £35 Ball Joints £35 Rack bushes £25 ​Need to get my geo done again now too.

I hunted round a lot on prices. Genuine parts were cheapest from Adam by a mile. Powerflex were cheapest from K-Tec of all places! Ball joints were Lemforder and from ECP with a 50% discount code! ​I think all in it's cost me about £6-700 for the parts fitted.

To get this back on track ;) The wishbones I think must have been damaged in post. Mike managed to straighten it the 1.5mm that it was out! The gearbox I bought, discussion got a bit heated, but it was Agency themselves telling me that it was buggered and after the seller spoke to them we...

I'd intended to do it myself so had bought all the parts. For various reasons I needed someone to do it and Mike was good enough to take my parts and do the labour. Turned out to be a good job as it was a nightmare, bolts stuck, BJ stuck in the hub and the sub frame needed to be dropped...

Finally got the suspension refresh finished on my car with a big thanks to Mike @ MWM. Wow, what a difference it makes! New dampers, powerflex bushes, ball joints, inner & outer track rods and rack bushes. It drives like a different car! Bumps are handled much better and you can feel the ARB...

I think I'll just be a bit more cautious now. Or just give in and buy new stuff!

Maybe I've just had bad luck, but of all the stuff I've bought off here in good faith and being described as in good condition, they all been a load of s**t! "Working gearbox" was fubar and no use other than for the case. "Good condition wishbones" one of which is bent! "good condition...

What building are you in mate? The blue arctic is in today, it's just by the building on the left as you leave Elmwood. My car is out with MWM at the moment. Full polybushing and suspension refresh going on.

​For rack bushes?!

Wish I'd seen this the other week! I bought Renault parts (7701473656) for £40 a side as I was told no others were wide enough for cup pack or cup cars.

Cheers. I did want a silver one when I bought it ;) ​I'm down near Motorola.

That was me!

Just got some from Adam. £22 iirc.

Powerflex explicitly state they do not need welding. Iirc, someone on here said the coating on them doesn't lend itself to it anyway?

Thanks for that. Saved me! Cancelled the lemforder order and have gone for oem from Renault. The rack bushes are £22. If I don't use them ill sell them on.

Lemforder parts ordered then.

I'm going from the logic that if I'm doing everything else, it's probably worth doing them?
