BRoad - felt like it was going to, think I got lucky.
brucer, Quaife quickrack and EPAS on the steering. If I was building it again or on a budget I'd consider trying the Corsa one first though.

Ooooh scary moment there! Fairly chapping on too.
Christ that was a nice close one. I've got a pic of 3 cars all sliding off on that same bit.
As always very impressed with your driving. Car looks flat in the corners and fast too. The ARB looks like it works very well on your car.
That looked like a brown trouser moment ,carrying a fair bit of speed at the time ,was it a lift off oversteer or just the rear tyres crying enough ?
He is just over doing it now as he wants a kit car that's all that happened lol
Winter upgrades have begun, started with some better quality bushes, SuperFlex/SuperPro one piece poly bushes:

Easier with the beam off, so now is a good time for a brake fluid chang, so bled it all through with air. It was very dirty and discoloured so in need of a change despite it not being that old:

I set my pet Harvey to work removing the rear beam:

Bush fitting toolage with lots of grease, but were still a pain to fit:

Even the steel insert was tight:

Front arms were even harder:

But this weirdo made it easier than tackling it alone:

Next up is touch up some paintwork from the gravel trap:

And refurb the calipers as stones got wedged between the wheel and calipers and ruined them:

Also on the list is Corsa bias pedal box, new fluid, and looking at the pedal ratio to suit.
Should have said, I have a full car set of them one piece bushes. I fitted the ones to the rear beam and had a right job getting them in. Was even more of a b@stard to get out when I decided to fit Powerflex ones instead!
