i have a boot spoiler

[Lee A]

Top work there for £300! Any pics of the insides? 

[Brick Tamland]

Sweet looking car there mate. 

Got a couple of pots missing though 

ah, but no pesky oil coolers or DIS packs to keep in the boot!!! 8-)

Everyone has to admit he has a point 

Dont forget crank sensors,a very awkward cambelt, pain in the arse oil filter, cam cover gaskets and an awkward HBV

imo 2.0's pi$$ to work on, you should try working on a volvo

Least you get plenty of practice on a Volvo

should try working for Mercs then! Pain the butt they are!!! Not as bad as plugs on a 16v Alfa 33 or oil filter on Lotus Elan Turbo's...

How is the alignment after the drop?  Have you checked it?

yep! Did it at work same morning!

[CateraMV6]

Was it far off?  How did you adjust it, because I know the rear doesn't have eccentric bushings for camber adjustment and mine as it is stock is running around 2° camber and its chewing up the tires like crazy. .

A drop of 1" or more will give something close to 3° which will be even worse.

[Pete Elite]

WOW, that looks in showroom condition, nicely done .

[m1ct]

Gosh, that's a tidy mig (at least from a distance )
Bargain! Well done tombstone

It's not that far out, and as I have a healthy supply of good 17" used tyres, it doesn't worry me!!

Well, he got a point, but still, I'd still go for a 6 pot

lol i hate working on it, nothing wants to come apart/undone (its that well put together) lmao so it usually takes longer (to change the clutch you have to lower the engine through the subframe on one side and take both driveshafts out) or to change the spark plugs you have to take off this little cover ontop of the engine (so far sounds easy)... and wrestle with the hard plastic boost pipe running over the top of the engine and then pop a blood vestle trying to drag the little plastic cover out from between the oil filler cap and the said hard plastic boost pipe!

i shall even post a volvo under bonnet shot lol....

Try working on a T5, they're even harder
