Ahh right, yeah there nice new one's on there now.
Couldn't tell you exactly what the camber figure is on the front dude, there 1.5neg camber arms thou if it helps you at all.
Had 2 nice new tyres today, an then a full day working on it tomorow I hope

How I started the day
Clutch bled, brakes bled, few things tidied up inside. Got the sidelights working too...
Mounted the rear fog (I hate it, but no other choice really)
Just my wheel archs left now then.

& thanks for letting me know about the camber, they are the arms I am looking to buy.

I forgot to post up in here about recent events...
Took it for an MOT Monday, they failed it on a few minor things, so its had 2 new tyres on the back, a new wheelbearing an balljoint on the offside an a new rear 3 wa brake connector (I stripped mine by accident, didn't notice I had done it an it was leaking) Quite lucky they spotted that, could have been abit fatel if it was left like it.
Took it back for its retest and I now have a green certificate and a nice disc that says I can use my car on public roads. Wiiiinnnor.

The only future upates will be stuff like an intercooler, I fancy doing some sort of internal gear linkage too but for now I'm preety happy to just keep using it.
One day it will have some straight cut goodness in there, then I can work my way up the boost...

A tad too much boost - helical drop gears 
I think I must have a leak around the boost gauge or something, it was only showing 8psi......

Just a quick update -
I'm in the midst of fitting this...
Minispares Clubman gearset, 3.1FD on an X-Pin diff from minispares, built by Benross on TurboMinis.
Should sort out any torque ripping the box apart problems.
As it stands, I'm hoping to have it back in and running by the weekend

I want one of those, I just love the sound of a straight cut box and straight drop gears, maybe in a few months I might be able to get one
Looking good
