Picking up full seat sport forge pipe work tomorrow - it was originally mine from my seat sport forge kit I had on the Ibiza.

It's a better kit than the stand alone pipes they supply in the skint kit.

Be ordering a ths fmic and piper decat in a week or two as well.

Oh and a clutch... Unsure which right now

That rarb looks very chunky, are the whitelines thinner? Think i may have to invest in a rarb.

  • Author

That bar is 25mm Joe it's huge! Seriously stiff too mate! Can't wait to get it fitted :)

White lines are way thinner, as is the Jabbasport one.

Get one dude, I needed the stiffest I could find as I have a 22mm bar up front.

Is 22mm uprated on the front?

  • Author

Yeah white lines adjustable one mate

Nice. What rarb is that?

  • Author

H&R mate

Looks cool, never seen them before. Bet it will make a huge difference :)

Hmm...from past experience...be prepared for the lunching of your front tires if you drive swiftly with a H&R bar.

As a side note I've also experienced tyre eating from an eibach front arb, but then again my driving style was not appropriate in the least.

It's not a negative, just as long as you are aware, and keep an eye on the inside of your tyres. ;)

Yeah expecting increased wear mate. I have an appetite for tyres anyway it seems, these Hankooks have a pretty soft sidewall too.

I think next plan is a mod not done very often, whiteline rear toe in reduction shims, should get the back end a bit more lively :) will double check current rear toe in to be sure I've enough to play with but I suspect so.

Be aware that high speed straight line stability is one of the trade offs of toeing out the rear end, as apposed to the "lively" feeling you wish to achieve.

Stupidly I once toed the front wheels out after too much internet reading. Damn the turn in and direction change was amazing, like a razor. Unfortunately the inner front tyre wear rate doubled, and also promoted some rather serious rear end action when lifting off.

It's all down to personal taste at the end of the day anyway, so experiment to find out what settings suit your driving style. :thumbup:
