Well dropped the box off and found the release fork had wedged on top of the pinion support bracket. Not a clue how it managed it, but i've secured it out of the way with a bolt i can remove from the view hole after fitting it. Bloody thing..

How it was sat. Pressing the pressure plate..

How it should be..

Still waiting on my Whiteline front ARB from AwesomeGTI [emoji849] then i can get all the front stripped off and my poly bushes etc fitted.

Will get some pics on Saturday as i plan on going for a good drive to iron out any issues.

Final peice of the jigsaw. Whiteline are apparently struggling with FARBs at the min, hence the 5+ month wait. AwesomeGTi have been very good though, kept me informed of the delays and eventually done me an excellent deal on Eibachs.

Booked in for bushes fitting on Wednesday and i'll get all the ARBs fitted too. The Suspension arrived today from Australia too, cant wait to get some pics of it. [emoji41]

All fitted, all rattles and clonks gone. This Scale suspension is the shizzle. So well made its defintly worth the money.

Damping set to halfway (6 clicks out of 12)

Up on the ramps stripping everything off..

Stripped all the bits off the subframe, smashed out the old bushes and cleaned up, greased and fitted the poly bushes.

Setup the preload on the coilovers and put topmounts on.

New droplinks - these bad boys wont be failing soon.

RARB fitted (need to paint the rest of the new caliper haha)

How it site at the min. Going to let it settle then raise it up as it catches going round bends flt out.

Excellent. Never heard of scale coilovers. Look pretty decent

Not many sold in the UK.

Quite big in the US and Canada (where theyre made)

Did a few little jobs today, but it was too hot to do everything i had planned.

Removed rear vent as it flapped about and annoyed me..

Made a bonnet pole out of 1/4" stainless tube.

Changed spark plugs to some decent ones as apparently the ones i was using were wrong.

Clocked onto 88,888 miles [emoji23] (will get a better pic when on 88 on trip too) thats 1200 miles as a 1.8t

Is it going to be ready for Monday?

Yeah, just needs tracking. But tbh its not too bad.

Went for a spirited drive tonight.. Jesus christ cant wait for some corners where cars arent coming the oposite way [emoji16]

Thought i better start with some preperstion for Bedford on Monday.

Measured the height all round to see how much each corner needed raising..

Then set about adjusting, did the rears and bled the brakes whilst there, a few small bubbles came out.

Rears done.

Started on front passenger side on the front, new Brembo discs and DS2500 pads. Then a bleed. For some reason my ezybleed isnt putting fluid from the bottle into the reservoir, but all small bubbles removed.

Drivers side to do tomorrow after work. Booked in for sunday morning to get tracking done.

Id imagine even a few bubbles from each corner would make a big difference to the over all brake performance.

Yeah they were a big spongy, think it was from the gearbox fiasco. I never bled them after.

Holy **** this thing is mental!! Kept up with a Porsche whilst at Bedford today, thanks for giving me a couple of passenger laps Phil, absolutely love this car
