Just a quick question guys. (Didn't think it was worth making a topic just for this)How long does it roughly take to change 2 front cones if all goes well?

    We did our the other week, but the subframe was on the bench. We couldnt remove the cones without removing the top arm and they had it. I dont know how people manage to get them out with the top arm in, but hey ho. Id leave 2.5 hours for each side :)

Do I make a set of banded steels for the winter or save and design some splits next year? Hmm... (can you tell i'm trying to avoid uni work lol)

    Im thinking of designing d1 style splits,6" wide, but that'd mean wider arches, sort of going against my orignal concept.
    Dayglo orange 5.5" steels with chrome hubcaps however might go with the dayglo grille im doing? but will ultra heavy.... im rubbish at decisions lol

    Yes i love my stage 1, it's dosent sound as good as your Sportspack :-) but seeing as mines only a 998. Once I got it rolling roaded its great, it's got so much power and can keep going way above 70 if I wanted to.
