    Fiting rear camber arms

    Maybe an extra 1/2 hour tops, they did my front camber arms in record time, there is very little they have not seen before. Also know that area like the back of my hand as I lived there for 12 years as a kid.

    Fiting rear camber arms

    Just a thought but WIM would charge an hours labour and be able to do the allignment 100% spot on, that way you would be totally confident its all been done the right way. If you wanted company I could road trip with ya as well.

    Not very impressed!

    i wouldnt be so quick to jump into a 6 mps, they have issues like vvt actuator failure, stretched chains, turbo oil seals, faulty chain tensioners, diff issues, rear diff mounts made of butter and worse still zoom zoom boom con rods out of the block. Finding a good one is a feet in itself as...

    No Boost

    Agreed very unusual for a turbo just to stop working altogether unless its totally fubared and the compressor wheel is stuck. Job one is to check all hoses and clamps from cold end to hot end paying particular attention to the intercooler piping. If all looks good it would then be time for a...

    Two stroke actually emulsifies with the diesel and will give you a cleaner burn.

    Arrrggg Front bumper.

    Speak to Lee at HH he could hook you up with a brand new bumper for around £250 I think. Also deep mocha pearl gonna be a back order from Belgium job I would think. When I changed mine it was a perfect match, but a respray would of needed the wings blending to be a 100% job.

    keeping diamond cut alloys new

    When I had mine I gave them five coats of PB's sealant just to really make sure they where okay. Washing wise I only used VP's billberry safe wheel cleaner.

    What oil?

    As always it depends on how you drive your car and how often you plan to change the oil. If you hammer it alot then you will want a quality synthetic with good shear strength qualities. Also if you tend to do high mileage and don't change the oil often, again a quality synthetic would be better...

IIRC they had different tunes as well think they where rstuning and celtic maps. I would be happy with a stage 1 and CG organic setup but a stage 2 I would want the paddle...
