Right, Update. BC hasnt really got back, i was playing around with it, now the noise is gone, mainly because i changed the damping and made it really soft, 20 clicks from hard. before was 15 and squeaking. Anyone got any ideas why?

Last month I was pretty happy to get @TTR's BC BRs coilovers off his hands, didnt get a chance to install it until yesterday. Got Dave from Fensport to set it all up for me, spent a good 5 hours there watching him tweaking here and there. After the installation the car looks perfect, dropped slightly and -2 camber all around. Took it on the road and the handling feels much much better so I told Dave im happy then I got on my way home with a smile on my face. However! Nightmare started. After 30 miles driving there is suddenly a squeaking noise from the driver side engine bay, like rubber squeaking so I pulled over and checked. Nothing looks wrong, but when i rock about on the car, there is a clear squeak from the top mount bit of the coilover. Squeak squeak squeak. Annoying as hell. Got home, wheel off, WD40 all around, hoped for the best and the noise is still there!. Squeak squeak squeak. @TTR is a nice lad and he is going to call Apex(BC RACING UK) regarding to this issue. I mean, the coilovers were only on his car for like 9 months and not that much miles. Email sent to Dan, asked him to ask Dave for some advice. This kind of suck coz i was so looking forward to putting the BCs on my car. Anyone got some good advice? Or know any good garage around Leicester so they could look at it? Thanks

You could grab @jevvy's Tomei off him. sounds much better.

Finally no saggy bumpers!!!!

haha funds are limited for me atm coz just got some rays ce28s

Cool, will give that a try tonight. Normally i can tolerate some kind of noise from coilovers but this is huge at the moment

In that case, I have some 0-20s for our car in the garage, "top of the pillow mount" meaning camber plate?

It mentioned lock rings, these are the one tightened with c-spanners right? Ive done every nut and bolt on the top hat, didnt check the rings, will give it a try when i get home from work today. But im pretty sure i have seen Dave tighten it really tight.

i have a set for grabs by next week, like i mentioned on the other forum, pm me with a price please, i dont actually know how much these are worth

well my suggestion is spend a bit less than 5K an go FI. Those cossie kits are 20% of so something like 4700 from part box. Rob is selling his charger for around 2300. And TD turbo is less than 5K all inclusive. Id say you might be able to make the NA +50bhps but you will spend hell a lot more than FI?

4725! That is a insane price. Wish I got the cash

Bump!

Yo! Cant resist the sound of a UEL anymore, i am looking for a UEL manifold on a budget, would love to get it new but too poor as petrol cost me so much to commute lately Any brand is welcome as long as they are in good condition with a good price lol. Located in Newark but willing to travel to get it from someone within, lets say 100 miles. Will be great if there is a fitter near by. Thanks People

car going to fensport on 05/09. will update you pics with new wheels

lol you can sell them to this guy again

Looking to swap out my tires to the PS4s. As rear tires are wearing out. However when I bought my car, the wheels were staggered, 18X8 front and 18X9 rear. running 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. I do feel my car tends to understeer and 255 feels very wide for my car's power, (Tuned NA) My options are 1Change tire size on the rears. I know people run 235/40s on 9.5 wheels. but what will 225/40 looks like on 9 inch wheels? 2.Swapping all wheels to a squared set up (but short of fund at the moment and can not be bothered to sell the current wheels)

Update for this post;) well i bought Ben's CE28s so the question is gone haha. 17/8 wheels i think 225/45r17 is great

Thats what im intending to do, but some picstures people provided look soooooooo stretched though, for example this https://tyrestretch.com/9.0-225-40-R18/9.0-225-40-R18-Falken-452-2/

it looks like the poor Japspeed UEL...which also looks very EL

emmm lets say under £500 for the used one?

Torn between the S and the SS

Will probably join if im not doing anything else. looks fun.

hahahah why? i got these off him

So you bought that car

hahahahahhaha love it
