How come i'm not on the list ?

I put up the things for my lights early on in the thread.

It is becoming a really big list.

sorry about that now added RalliartBoy

as for the date change I am ok with it, the only thing is it will be the same weekend as the mixed meet up.
but that can work well to as we can all drive to location in a FTO road train

We might also need to bring bits for some job - ie plan ahead & bring them on the day. I've put some suggestions below. Kaz, your oven is gonna cop a flogging

> fitting springs Serious? As in lowering springs? Be aware your alignment will be out to the sh*thouse afterwards & your first stop would need to be a garage that can align it. I'll also need to bring spring compressors.

Post by **Bennoz** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:21 am

lol yeah thats all good & well, but it can be seriously out after a job like that. Ie almost undriveably out... I've heard of people ripping upto 3mm off their tyres in 5 minutes.

Ben are the Maplins any good? Also whats my chances of installing an alarm at the same time too.

Also need to fix passenger side window as I think the sensor in it is rooted. If you put it up all the way it comes 1/3 back down.
