up-date!

ditched the Mk2 lowering plan, went back to the mk1 idea after some advise and a 60mm kit from valetech :)

dont want to lower it on steels though so need to get some ST-2's as soon as :lol:

anyone know of any random/pointless mod's for the interior? :mrgreen:

Down-date!

I noticed the van has developed a horrible wuuring noise comming from the front when i turn left this afternoon comming home from work :( sounds like a wheel bearing, had a quick search and it could be the drive-shaft bearing. gona jack it up tomoro and have a look to see what i can find.

bit confused as to why some bearings are comming at a mental price of £180-£200!? when others are around £20 :?

noticed this the other day, when i bought the alloys i knew they would be needed new tyres on the front, just didnt think it would be this quick or that bad :lol: its still just above the marker on the left hand side :o

Image


so the van looked like this for a few days

Image

untill i got the tyres changed, went for infinity 225/40/R18 92W XL's cost just under £130 fitted and balenced which i didnt think was too bad?

Image
Image
Image
Image

back fitted to the van :) and also another little treat, wanted to try some cill stickers to see what they looked like, only cost £5! and i think they look quite good!

Image
Image
Image

still putting off lowering it for a while, im not sire what problems its going to cause :oops:

thinking about an EGR blank though, do i need one with a small hole in it? or a solid one?

C + C welcome
