Just had major work done to my car ,it now drives a treat . The work has been done at Willow Sports cars ,top job done for a reasonable price ..

Remove and re fit the new Nitrons,set ride height and four wheel alignment (remove the two thin shims on the ball joint and fit the original thicker one )now setup more for road use

Change the upper and lower steering uj`s (the others only lasted three years)

Replace all three diff bushes ,top one poly bottom one`s rubber (he did recommend some fabrication with the GKN diff ,(something to do with the way it`s fitted)

strip down rear suspension and fit a full bush set .(every bush engine mount has now been replaced}He did say the one`s from Steve heath are more harsh . Willow use different ones (prowe flex i think)

other odds and sods ..

Glad i have spent the money to get it right .

.cool

The only thing which failed is the oil pressure sender from Fleabay did not work !apert from that im over the moon .


Great guy ,everything sorted cool

Very good news Daz, I'm really pleased you're sorted at last!

Let's hope when my car is mapped and yours is remapped, I've got at least 1 more BHP then yours!

Money well spent!

I had a full geo-set up after my engine re-build. Totally transformed the car! Although my Nitrons are a bit tired now, anyone know how much they cost for a re-furb??
