    Yep, agreed Gavin, a right pain in the **** Not something I would have expected from a fairly spicy priced set of coilovers 🙄 Stock mounts are being fitted to the dampers today and will be taken for a little test drive so will get some feedback on how that worked out.

    Reyland brake kit

    Some good info, confirms my hunch that I should avoid the DS2500 that comes as standard and spec something else.

    If this was my car i’d remove the droplinks completely and secure down the roll bar then take it for a drive (very carefully) to see if the clonk has gone. If so, at least you know its not your coilovers and is either a drop link or the roll bar itself. If its still there then its gotta be the spring/shock or topmounts.

    GT86 Racecar build

    Managed to get the last two major Verus Pieces wrapped up over the last few days I tackled the bonnet vents first while I waiting on a few parts to arrive for the rear wing install. It’s always a little tense cutting into body panels so I must have checked my dimensions about 5 times before the drill and cutting disc were unleashed. Once I had the holes cut out I taped up on both sides and sprayed all the cut edges just to seal them up and stop any aluminum corrosion taking hold. After all the messing about the vents were finally bolted in, safe to say the front of the car no longer looks stock! With the vents completed I tackled the rear wing install, I knew I was going to have to make some small alterations as I have a full fibreglass ducktail that covers the entire bootlid, and the Verus kit is designed to fit onto a standard bootlid. However funnily enough the Verus wing is designed to work with a ducktail and the profile of the wing should nicely tie in with it. In order to get it to work I need to drill through the various layers of fibreglass and bootlid steel and use some extended aluminium spacers inside the boot with longer stainless steel bolts. The wing then uses a stainless steel backing plate on the inside and aluminium uprights on the outside to ensure there is no flex, which is helped by the fact the uprights are right out on the edge of the bootlid. A jacking nut is also incorporated that you adjust so that it is in contact with the OEM boot hinge stopper to further ensure no flexing. When all was installed it does seem very effective, and ties in nicely with the ducktail like I hoped
