i have a Sliver GSI which i spend most my spare time3 years ago tiding and clean and repainting it, and doing little mods to. 2 months ago i spun it coming out of a damp roundabout and trashed a alloy, and bent the front crossmember, i got some new wheel sorted the memeber out for now untill i can it rewelded and striaghtend

i have a xe mid build and load of little bits stock piled up.ready to fit along list of cool little mod i want to do with time.
But.....,....popped to work to day and my AVO coilover snapped and no im getting a little pee'ed off with it and well im telling you guys just to get a bit of support and some
Thanks Timmy

the roundabout crash obviously did the avo.

come on, man up & walk it off, it is still cheaper than the finance on a new one.

agreed with above, i put 3 engines in my nova in 2 month's
(admittedly i had a heavy right foot) but to be honest i enjoyed doing the engine changes aswell :)

meh as mst know i built a LET Nova and did 6 miles before some bird pulled out on me and wrote me clean off! I have since rebuilt a new nova with a v6 man up its an old car and modifiying means things are gona break especially when you have a bent crossmember :S

I would double check that, as it sounds the same as their refurb price, which only includes seals etc afaik, person on the other end of the phone might have misunderstood?

It's not "expensive" to get them refurbed/repaired usually, but I would double check that price. I doubt it will be that much more, Wasn't trying to put a downer on your result lol

I do, there is a guide on the forum also, Jack posted it I believe, and I think it's stickied in the "how to use the forum" post in general chat.
