Bruges should be a mandatory stop off for decent 9% beers. Always stopped there on the way to Germany

Ha yep. Was on the way home so we could take our time limping back! Got leathered and drowned our sorrows. Was good.

Should be getting the EP back soon from full rear end polybush, new LCA's, 24mm ARB, PBS pads all round and having my STR 3" harnesses fitted, as well as removing the air con system.

Been offered a set of XYZ coilovers from Chris @ Tensport off his car. Nothing flash but should be better than my knocking (crap - lasted 6 months) KYB shocks and eibach ABP springs.

Car is back. Gonna need a bit of welding on the front driver's sill for MOT! bummer.

Exhaust now knocks like mad on the fatter arb so also need to get a custom exhaust made! It never ends, ha.

First track day of 2018 on the 9th @ Oulton park

I will keep an eye on the sills, how badly have they gone? Mine is showing a bit on the rear arches which I'm planning on getting addressed this year.

Rears are just surface rust. Front driver's I managed to poke a hole through so welding time 100%. I hate rot. Garage (Tensport) reckon £100-£200 but never really had a car welded apart from a 328 sport's jacking points, think that was similar price.

[MRobbins1987]

Not good at least it's not mega money to put right, I will have a close look at mine next time I jack it up.

[Danith]

Yeah? Sub £300 quid you reckon for replacement sills and undersealing?

Was a bit gutted to be honest, all that money and work gone into it recently and the rot shows it's face. Rot is a killer

FYI - ATR wheels don't fit without spacers!!!! Back up to Blackburn tonight to swap tyres around. Sometimes it's just best to stick with OEM. Nothing like last minute faffing

I see your ep3 and miss mine

[Danith]

good fun. Showing their age now though

Disappointing day at Oulton. Only got 3 hrs on track due to an oil spill (not me) and lengthy cleanup.

When I did get on the car felt a bit vague, needs setting up again. Ps3 tyres were awful so went straight back to my Avon ZZR. But the front still felt light. Looking at some of the photos the car has masses of positive camber! Something not right there. And there was an awful clanging/pinging noise from the rear on turns, maybe bushes settling or droplinks. Will see what the garage say
