cheers man.
thanks, selling because I need a van for work and can't afford both :(
:) me too, it gets so addictive doesn't it lol
appreciate the good comments!
It's been a long time since I posted on here!
This is how she sits now...
Coilovers are wound nearly all the way down and put 3inch blocks on the back.
It nows scrapes and sparks off everything and was entertaining to say the least driving down to Players.
Oh... and it's now up for...
meh...

Yeh it was thursday, drove past and had to do a double take lol.
Its a good space to have lol, f**k all else could get under there!
It looks fookin smart on those wheels too :)
Just a quick picture of the top mounts:
The camber plate wouldnt have been able to fit in the original whole, so rather than cutting a circle and losing alot of the turret, i just decided to enlarge the original shape of hole, looks a bit wierd but it works!
One thing thats worrying me is at...
Right today was one my best days in about 2 months...
it passed it's MOT :cool:
I ended up buying the top mounts from F1 Moto and they got fitted on Sunday... fitting them wasn't as hard as i thought actually and I tried my best to keep everything looking tidy and original-ish.
I'll get some...
I like the way this is going!
I'm not sure though, it's not the space/ mounts thats the issue, it's the gearbox etc. The reason the F7P is so popular is that it mates perfectly with the Volvo 340 1.7 gearbox and shafts.
Would have to look into that though, how much is a decent F4R going for...
little update...
After ranting for a few days I've calmed down and spoken to F1 Moto. So my new top mounts should be here by the weekend (fingers crossed).
This is what they should look like:
On a different note, I got my exhaust back from the garage today after they've cut out the middle box...
cheers chris!
Yeah sam the shafts etc. aren't the best but its only got a 1.4 in it so im not worried really.
And your right I know, especially when your asking for custom stuff like you said, but the thing that gets me is the fact i was initially told 2 weeks, and he never said "yeah its gonna...
right update. mainly a rant/long story with a few s**te pictures:
Im annoyed because...ordered the coilovers about 1 and a half months ago from f1moto in Kent. he's a volvo specialist who's already built one of these as a drift weapon and is building another one for someone in jdm allstars...
i fitted them yesterday, just haven't wound them down yet lol.
theres a couple of niggles i need to sort before im completely happy with them, for instance whether you need bearings inbetween the top mount and top of the coilover.
also i had to grind off about 1cm of top mount to get them on...
Too right! But it definitely doesn't get abused doing streeto whenever it rains... ;)
Oh and I've got a reply on the coilovers... £400 + exchange for custom front coilovers. Specs say they should be 2.5" shorter overall than the standard setup.
Just asking a few more questions then probably...
The seats are out of a Mitsubishi Colt, but before that they were in a Evo apparently. And I agree Rob, everything else for that price is either none branded or Rage lol. Chuffed to bits :)
I can assure you I'm not a t**t :rasp:
Cheers for the good comments though guys, just waiting on a...
And finally... I've caught the stickerbomb bug :o
Im not going to go over the top don't worry, I just wanted to brighten things up a bit in the interior.
Gear stick surround...
Rearview mirror...
And put a couple more on the back window too.
And that brings me up to date!
I'm fairly...
