Well, its been a while but I've been a busy boy.
Got my car back from LVSR after having these lovely bits of kit fitted...
Bilstein B16's.
Also had the whole car polybushed front to rear which has made a world of difference.
Drove the car around for a week whilst the car settled onto the new suspension setup then took it back to LVSR to (as requested) for another day of tweaking the ride, adjusting the damping, arb's and fast road geo setup until the car was totally planted.
Whilst the motor was in they also updated my REVO map to the newest release which is also feeling very positive.
The new map has less of a low down punch and the mid range pull and redline hunting power is great! All in all the new map seems to provide much more useable power and day to day I believe will be much faster.
Whilst the car was in I had a pretty awesome courtesy car for the day (free of charge!)
Only once my car had been setup correctly did I realise just how bad my tyres were! Finally my hideous Vredestein's Sessanta's had bitten the bullet and I got some nice new sticky Goodyear Eagle Assymetric 2's fitted.
These tyres are epic! Loved the Assy 1's and these definately feel like an improvement. Very progressive feeling tyre with brilliant grip, a nice stiff tyre wall and a really good rim protector! Looking forward to getting them on the rears now too!
The sun stayed out for once so I got to give the car another good clean. Was impressed with the reflections of the surrounding houses!
Popped out to the Lincoln meet earlier today for a brief while. Got to meet some nice local dudes and look around their motors. Also met up with Monte and perve over one of my favourite Edition 30's around!
Can't stress enough how much of a difference these B16's and Polybushing has made to the car, feels the way it should've from the factory!
