Hi again
Well the Tourneo finally on the road, local company in Belfast decambered the front/rear springs 3", i also fitted the adaptors and 18"s 8) Used a tip from this forum about tweaking the pump for better response and fitted new timing belt. Turns out the timing was a tad out :roll: must admit theres a definate improvement all round, it now revs better + pulls like a train up hills also handles like its on rails with its new shoes + slight tickling with "the stick" :twisted: Got meself a Laguna front splitter + turbo wing vent to fit this week then i think its about finished
