soooooo, plans this week:

replace broken mirror

replace bust rear damper :'( perhaps a chance to buy coilovers? yay or nay?

oil and filter change

nothing too exciting this week, ready for painting and repair next week

Good progress mate and I love the wheels it's currently got :) shame about he damage though. Did the person own up?

  • Author

Yeahh he did. He told me to get a quote and he's paid me in full for it the same day. Cant fault him :)

Im not too sure on the wheels. I think they look too small. And it certainly feels like it handles better on 17's. i want rota grids :'( sooooo expensive.

Need to sell some of the sets of wheels i have before i purchase more though hehe

That's good of him.too many people just run off now

Did yours not have the smf as standard? Mine did :p

Oh yeah the standard brakes on the pd100 are just damn awful!

I will be following your progress! :)
