Birchdown if your willing to travel a little mate

 

[Hodgins]

yeah i go to birchdown for major work, most of the time i get my hands dirty myself

 

[rollerdan]

hey lads any off you know a decent place where i can get all my bushes uprated , wishbones ,arb. i would tackle it myself but as for tacking the wishbone collars in i can see me going wrong somwer lol ....

 

[Hodgins]

id travel tbh, fred@btm is only just over an hour and half away, i was looking at the arb bushes the other day funnily enough, the outer ones look simple but the inners would be a bit more difficult due to lack of space

Just buy some already done mate,ive got some powerflex bushes here and some bottom arms,got a maye who can tack weld them also.

Only way to learn is to do it yourself

 

[Kyly]

I'd be up for a meet sometime too , but no black Mountains for me!! (too scared) ha unless you dont jmind waiting up for a girl going around 20MPH

 

[Hodgins]

all joke aside you prob drive quicker than me, i get lost on meets anyway

 

[Scott™]

Kyly the meet organised on the 11th March will be a photo meet more than anything. No speed limits will be broken and no dangerous driving I can assure you. As anyone who does as much won't be invited along to the next one. Where in Carmarthenshire you from? I work in Carmarthen.

 

[Kyly]

Haha, ok I feel safe now haha, all depends if I'm working, won't find out until 3 weeks before, can my car be at the back of the photo haha, really done nothing much to it except keep clean .
I live right next to Cross Hands roundabout, opposite gwernllwyn haha, I tend to get lost also haha, where is the meet?

[M4D M4X]

Adam fair play mate that pure Motorsport top mount and brace kit looks the dogs b****cks , if i hadn't fitted the cup racer suspension and have it standard with it. It would have been a must if i fitted ast's or Kw's.

As for the meet in march looks like i'll have to miss out again as i've managed to find a massive workshop place to work on the car/cars so won't get it done in time especially the plans i now have for it.
Hopefully get it done this year if i stop coming up with new ideas lol.

 

[Hodgins]

Nice i'm getting a Dci 80 soon will be turning it into a cup rep. The sensible thing for me to do at the moment

 

[Hodgins]

Well ive landed a new job, and the LY will be £10 a day to commute easily, this should do £20 a week
shes only a baby 65 bhp but it goes well enough for what i want, i need to get the stupid ideas out of my head, sport bumpers, wheels interior and some coilovers

Woooops lol

 

[Ash']

Thats already in my head lol
