Getting fitted as we speak :WOOT :WOOT :salut:

Nice one

[shrwd]

Ok took a trip over to TGM Sport in Fleet yesturday, got my Eibach/ABP -30mm Springs, Eibach Rear Arms, Eibach Front Bolts all fitted and the geometry set up to TGM fast road spec..
I highly recommend TGM Sport, very, very good service!! Tom was a great help and the rest of the team are all a friendly bunch too! :thumbup:

Also got my Rota Torques fitted at the same time along with 2x brand new Toyo T1R's at the front supplied by TGM at a great price!!..
So currently running 205/45/17 on 17x7.5 Rota's..

And last Saturday I painted my calipers yellow using the Foliatec kit.. after 3 coats they came up a treat!
I went for the yellow as everyone seems to follow the red theme and I wanted something different

Haven't really tested the handling yet as I had a car full of alloys and old springs on the way home.. Although I have noticed it seems to glide round corners with ease!! So very pleased with it already! Just need to give it some beans round some bends and see when she gives..

Tom also said the springs should settle some more too.. at the minute I can JUST about get my hand in between the tyre and the arch of each wheel at a 90degree angle to the wheel.. if that makes sense :scratch:

Heres a quick pic, it obviously needs a polish and some tyre shine on that rubber, but you get the idea..


Let me know what you guys think

Looks spot on, was everyone at TGM yesterday

I fitted my ABP's at the weekend and took it for geo yesterday and you wont be dissapointed when you drive it properly

[shrwd]

Yeah seemed that way There was another 3 ep3's, one of which was a NHB with ctro stickers with numberplate 'RAW XX'.. although he had left his motor with them..

About 4 or 5 DC5's laying around.. was busy checking them all out

Yeah just pottering around it felt like it was on rails.. should be good! :thumbup:

[az89]

Cheers fella :thumbup:
I did initially intend to refurb my oem wheels gunmetal but picked up these rota's for a bargain price!! Ill refurb my oem rims and keep them for winter wheels :salut:

I'm getting some JDM deflectors hopefully in the next few days so may fit them this weekend, weather depending..

Eventually I'll get a JDM rear ARB to compliment the setup.. keeping an eye on that potential group buy..

Aren't them ES mount inserts a bugger to fit? :scratch:

[karlw]

Looks very good! :thumbup:
Watch out for the wall.
