Figured I'd throw up a new pick of how the car stands today :)

Rear wheels really need some spacers between them.
I lowered the front another cm yesterday and think I'll leave it like this.
Rear is fine when I fit 8mm spacers.

btw, had a coilpack go on me this morning. Luckily I always carry a couple of new ones in the car.

But when I pulled out the faulty one, it was snapped in half? anyone had that before?

colour will be revealed when they're back on the car on Sunday ;)

I have push down ones. Second one in over a year and a half so not too bad imo

Thanks brummy! Me too lol

So my rims were just picked up and I'll have em back tomorrow. Should look sweet!
Quite a bit of sanding the last couple of days but will be worth it imo

Also had a second coilpack go yesterday. Thats 2 in 1 day. Glad I keep some extra coilpacks in the car at all times, but will have to buy a couple more now.

I do notice a far better and smoother boost build now though. Maybe the coils were on their way out for a while already?

luckily one of the sides still held on ever so slightly, so I could pull it out in one go.

I can imagine that was quite a tedious job for you


as for update on the car:

got the rims back and think they look great :D

sorry for bad pictures but will take nicer ones when the car is clean again

I ended up fitting 6mm spacers on the front which make it look great.
There is 15mm spacers on the rear now, as 20 made it scrape too much.

15mm scrape only when there is more people in the car which never really happens anyway.
