Rob I've never seen so many people under the car at one time. It seemed to take forever and a day to get it done and with all the people looking at it I was getting slightly paranoid.
Only turns out that they were impressed with my suspension and brake setup

Also forgot I had my new tyres finally fitted......Mrs is so much happier as they're not in the house now.
They sit nicely on the rim compared to the old tyres as they actually sit proud a little and don't look stretched anymore.
I just need to clean all the mounting soap off them now.

i was just about to say , those tyres look new carl.....not seen that block tread pattern on the edges before carl...what tyres are they.
Just getting the wheels aligned @kwikfit if they can fit the hunter gear on it due to it being lowered they said
And yes I know Kwikfitbut they are the only ones in my area with Hunter and for £99 I can get them checked and adjusted every three months up to a total of eight times over twentyfour months.
Looks like I'll be tweaking the coilovers every two and a half months then

Sounds a decent deal! Is that a nationwide thing or a "special" deal?

i was looking at these before i shelled out for the rainsports, let me know what you think of em in a month or so buddy
Nationwide Phil.....I never knew about it at first but they charge £64 plus X amounts od £'s per adjustment.
I was then told for £99.95 I could have a 2 year wheel alignment package that means I can go every 3 months and have it re-checked and adjusted up to 8 times in total in the 3 year period.
I kind of recall it's something like £15 per adjustment but they won't charge more than £120. So it was a Win Win @ £100 as they had to set all 4 wheels up.
And yes it's Nationwide!

I will Tony.
I only got these after looking at loads of tyre reviews and I also recalled Dimi had a set on his and he's also done a track day on them.
Cheers Carl - I'll give the Scarborough branch a call as all I knew about was the standard deal too. Thanks!

They definitely seem to know their onions, it's nice they're local.
Expensive mistake no.29 is getting (deep breath):
- All 8 Front Control Arms
- Front Drop Links
- Revised Oil Pick Up Pipe
- Oil Pump and Balancer Shaft Drive checked
- Oil and Filter
- Cam Chain and Tensioner
- 4 Wheel Alignment
- Inlet and Valve Cleaning
- Injectors Tested & Cleaned
- Vacuum Leak Fixed
- Oil Leak Fixed
- Get the CEL to stay off
Well I had to go back to KF as the steering wheel was slightly off centre which I have to say annoyed the feck out of me.
They did try to fob me off with its because it's lowered.......utter crock of sh*t as it's miles out now the steering wheel is straight.

That's £2k and a bit more. Not that AKS are expensive, they beat my usual garage by a mile, it's just a lot of work.
It's a good job I like this car, because at this rate I'll be keeping it for a very long time.
All sorted now......
Time to complain to Head Office as that's an hour I would rather have been doing something else.

Cheers Rob, it's definitely grown on me way more than I was expecting. Once it's 100% I can finally start tuning it!
Eibach Pro springs, RS4 ARB and MOT all sorted today at the excellent http://www.archgarage.co.uk/ in Filey.
