That trailing arm mod is one that holds a lot of interest...

That's the thing I need doing to my car. Is there a conclusive and successful mod yet or will this one be it?

Good question mate..Hopefully we will know the outcome of this one and be able to answer it..As for the ones made by Tower view?..Has anyone had one fitted?...I did read about them a couple of year back..
Im always in awe of good engineers..Fascinating.....

Joking apart, mine is actually with Mat Smith right now having a head gasket changed. And I regularly get a strange noise from the rear end.....

Cutting it fine for next Thursday

What controller are you using for the PAS, you may also want to add a on/off switch to the controller as it's nice to be able turn it completely off, as I've found even on the hardest setting its too soft. great for parking thou.

[Engineer1949]

well sanding ready for primer finished as is the masking just a couple of small filling jobs found when sanding then get the primer on tomorrow.
