General imola the blue cinq sporting (the free cinq)

Well just hit 82,500miles, considering I bought her at 76 or 78k she was well overdue a oil change, plugs were foobarred so I got a new set of them, air filter on the gsr is looking a little grubby so that will soon be replaced maybe with a mushroom filter (anyone reccommend one??) Leads are well passed their sell by date so maybe a set of magnecores on the cards in the next few weeks, not a lot else gone on really, I've changed the steering wheel as the leather on the old one had passed its sell by date, hopefully in the next couple of weeks ill have my new spax adjustables for the fronts too and the wishbones are ready to be fitted so they'll be done when I get a good day to play with the car, ooo also might have accidentally slipped with the grinder and lost the cat too :p

Might get some pics up in the next few weeks

So today I fitted the rear mount for the tow bar, didn't think t would do anything but it's really stiffened up the arse end, should have realised it really but the rear feels so much more connected now, turn in is LOADS better too :D I think I may have to invest in a set of front sturt braces soon just to see how noticeable it actually is, I've not fitted the second part of the tow bar yet as it ruined the look of the back and it's only a 5 min job and 3 bolts to put it on :D

So just a reminder to anyone wanting any sei bits Zippy will be going to the scrap yard next week so let me know :) offers on all parts and the classified is still up, there's a set of part refurbed sei abarth wheels and the complete sei abarth kit

Haha I didn't expect that, it is a solid bar between the chassis legs at the back but you have the rear beam right there anyway so I didn't think it'd make much difference :)

Have you accidentally found a handling mod before the Polish guys? :D

Centozlot 2013, everyone has a towbar :p

Lol I suppose having a strut brace must really stiffen the front up, I don't know how much by or what gains I will see on the handling side of things but there defiantly on the cards now :p

Afterthought BlueDan do you still have the swan neck tow hitch as the one that I took sits too close to the bumper lol

Cheers again

Ah I left that in Staffs a week or two back, I don't know if I'm going back again now before September when I move back over there permanently.

Wow the understeer in the wet coming out of roundabouts is FUN!!!! Lol that is all :p

Fixed ;)
 
Yeah I was thinking of seeing how much it would cost to have it posted back over here, then I can take the stubby one back in September... dunno how much that would be though, it was a heavy lump.
