Good swag! What mm springs did you go for?

Hi Callum,

Looking like this car is going to come on well, nice one! Do you have a link to the suppliers of your shocks? I need some new ones for my wife's car and I'm thinking decent shocks and springs rather than coilovers.

Cheers

Paul

Thanks everyone for the positive comments! Hopeful my new wheels will arrive today.  :smiley:
Got a message from Euro Performance that my springs were dispatched straight from the manufacturer yesterday, opted for H&R 40mm springs so the ride should be great!

New wheels didn't arrive. Then on the way home from work I went to press my clutch and there was a bang and the pedal went straight to the floor and won't disengage the clutch :( Guess it's possibly the cable or been told it may be the release arm. Either way a pain in the ass, going to have the AA tow it to a garage tomorrow.

It will be the clip that holds the cable to the clutch arm on the outside of the gearbox


You see the bit with the hole in it underneath the clutch cable? I'd wager thats whats broken

My bets on this too. It's a pain in the ass, but at least its cheap and easy fix :)
