    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    So after I spent all day Sunday taking the stickers off and deconatminating thee bodywork, I get a call asking me to go on another Rally next bank holiday weekend for free because the video we put together was so good... So, some more stickers were sent out to me and today I spent a few hours doing it all over again! Started off with some nice beading from the coats of Collinite that I put on at the weekend And then it was sticker time. Had a few missing including my numbers so she's a little naked right now, but put them on anyway as I had the time to do it The numbers and a few other stickers will be with me next week You'll also notice some work around the bottom of the car...I finally got round to fitting my Bottom Line side steps from Tarmac Using Tiger Seal and a load of cardboard to wedge it all into place while it cures overnight, hopefully I'll have some nice strongly fitted side steps for Japfest tomorrow morning

    Tips on removing front drop links

    Yeah just remove the suspension with the drop links attached and leave the ARB in place. It won't go anywhere and you are fine to drive, just don't go mad although the Teins will make it all feel stiffer anyway

    Tips on removing front drop links

    ARB isn't necessary for driving. I just wouldn't be throwing it round corners if I were you

    Tips on removing front drop links

    I assume you're changing the suspension? If so, just take them off still attached to the strut, only way I could do mine If you're not changing the suspension, only really option is to cut them. The hole for the hex bit/allan keyis really soft and so easy to round

    RAYS 57XTREME 18x7.5J with tyres

    Always loved these wheels, just a shame I like a wider setup I'm sure they won't be around long Maz!

    Numberplate Legalities

    The average copper won't be able to tell the difference from inside their car, as long as the font, spacing and size is all correct then I can't see you having any issues
  13. My only issue with TD's, they don't make them wide enough for my liking
  14. I assume these are 8J wide?

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    Well needed clean after the Pure Rally last weekend, she was disgusting! And after 7 hours of de-stickering, cleaning, polishing and waxing, she's gorgeous once again! Albeit a bit naked without the stickers

    Some of the footage I took over the weekend, 2nd video was my co-driver at the wheel and didn't understand what "Go past all the cars in the middle lane so I can video them" meant...

    Smudge's UK Tour!

    Yesterday was time to come home after an epic few days of cars, people, partying, great roads and cities Edinburgh back to London took us just 7 hours with a stop at Keele Services so a great run home And after almost 1,100 miles she was finally home, safe and sound. Albeit a bit dirty! I did the entire drive back from Edinburgh to London and I wasn't even tired after getting out of the car. It is so comfortable on long cruises and averaged 34mpg on the run home, including a fair few "spirited" runs along the way A whole new love was found for the car this weekend, she outperformed in all aspects! Got some amazing comments all weekend and can't wait to see some of the professional footage being put together

    Smudge's UK Tour!

    Just a few pictures from the convoy up to Edinburgh from Manchester We all agreed that staying as close to 1 big convoy as possible is the way to do it, and that plan didn't disappoint. At one point I could see about 20 cars from the rally around us, it was just epic. I can't even imagine how much footage there is in total for the group The weather wasn't with us most of the way but it didn't matter with the variation of epic cars and people Finally hit the border And finally arrived in Edinburgh And all tucked up in the car park for the night, ready for a 450mile trip home tomorrow

    Smudge's UK Tour!

    Absolutely mate It's the 1st chance I've really had to throw her into some twisty roads as there's nothing near me in London. Stuck to the road like glue in the bends, catching a lot of the big boys out in a straight line too Found a whole new love for her this weekend
