Haha i feel like getting some gay gloves to wear so i dont get it dirty. It feels a different car to drive now mark with the wheel and the nicer gear change

Done a oil and filter change on her yesterday aswell so its running sweet as a nut. Well have to catch up once yours has had its surgery lol

Jekyll · Jun 14, 2015

Yes bud, maybe get some pics?

I loved the wheel. Suits the cup perfect mate. Unfortunately it's going to happen regarding the wear/dirt on the material but when it gets too far gone, then give snappy a call :wink:

Kyle 86 · Jun 14, 2015

Yes definitely get some pics of them soon. Hopefully it won't get to dirty to quick as its hardly used

m&l172ph1 · Jun 15, 2015

It's looking good, kyle.
Definitely better without the yellow.

Martin. · Jun 15, 2015

Used to have but took them off

Kyle 86 · Jul 18, 2015

Update

So i treated the cup to more goodies which include TPI wheel bolts and some anodised washers for the engine bay and also took delivery of some Bilstein B14's

Kyle 86 · Jul 18, 2015

Also sealed the wheels with Gtechniq C5 whilst they were off aswell

Kyle 86 · Jul 18, 2015

And a few pics clean and ready for trax

Got them somewhere on the net ill try and find you a link. Can't wait to get the billies on

Jekyll · Jul 18, 2015

I love the look of the TPI bolts bit they can rust easy if not protected. Shouldn't be a problem for you though :wink:

When you getting the b14's fitted and by who?

Dooby · Jul 19, 2015

Looking stunning as always mate .. Have fun at Trax today. Just a shame I couldn't be there and get them together again at a show

Was debating them after seeing the rust reviews. I really like them now there on

I whacked a bit of sealant on them and ill do it every time i wash it ha

Kyle 86 · Jul 26, 2015

Update

Finally got the Bilstein B14's fitted and im really happy with them. The car feels much more planted compared to the V-Maxx i had. Ive still got to set them up properly and adjust the ride height a tad as its sitting a bit low for my liking but ive got a creaking noise on the drivers side at low speed so ill have to investigate it next weekend

Kyle 86 · Jul 26, 2015

Kyle 86 · Jul 26, 2015

Ill get some more pictures soon. Hopefully ill get the creaking issue sorted its probably something simple

Mr R. · Jul 26, 2015

The rear adjusters are the wrong way round.

Adjusters go to the top.

Aaaah f**k i thought something wernt right with the rear adjusters as when i put them off they didn't sit flush lol

What do ya reckon the creaking noise could be scott

Jekyll · Jul 26, 2015

Much better! I hoe you didn't call out a mobile mechanic to get them fitted?!

Dont forget the car will need to be aligned afterwards mate

I was surprised i actually got as far as i did. Good learning curve ha

Kyle 86 · Jul 26, 2015

@Phase1sr you no the rubber platforms that the spring sits on. Does that stay at the top with the bilstein adjusters or do you put it at the bottom

Just put the rubber ring between the spring and the beam bud, no need for it to go at the top with the adjuster.

Plus it won't fit under the adjuster anyway.

The way you know the adjuster goes to the top is because the text on the spring, the way you have fitted them the text is up the wrong way. 😂

Dont think it matters too much either way. If they are at the bottom it is easier to adjust them as you dont have to take the wheel off.

Mr R. · Jul 27, 2015

It does matter.

So do you go out every week adjusting the ride height of your car then?

I know I didn't, in fact it's easier to adjust.

The spring can only go one way up/only fits onto the adjuster one way.

The writing on the spring shouldn't be up side down.

Kyle, just fit them as I said buddy, don't listen to these clowns. [emoji23]

This is exactly what me and my pal said that its strange that the writing is upside down lol
