Good layout for the sections

Look forward to seeing updates in here. It's a genuinely useful section this; allows you to keep track of what you did when

Hehe. It was 'borrowed'

Currently having a good think about suspension, which will be first changed.

The Fabia passed her first MOT without hassle. The T1-Rs are run-in nicely and are a noticable improvement over the Falkens they replace.

I think the general mod for suspension is Eibach Pro-Kit Springs (-25mm) with Koni FSD dampers (or KW coilovers instead of both) with a Rear Anti roll Bar (Jabba or Whiteline). Im sure the more experienced members will correct me as usual :P
