ive still not fitted mine yet that i got from himley, was just wonderin how many turns / clicks of the adjuster for the front, think i set the rears at 16 clicks. not sure on the front an i can't find the thread now that was about when i done my rears. any idea matey.

[Pauly]

Not a clue mate, I will have a play (wont be able to fit them for a few days yet) and report my findings .

You now have the same wheels, arches and suspension as me.

You'll love those shocks there brilliant. I have mine set at 20 clicks front and 15 at the rear, this is very stiff and I have too avoid drains with them too stop my teeth falling out. Although the handling is supurb like this. Your car is fantastic and just gets better. Good luck with it.

Managed to fit my hilos last weekend, adjusted them so they where roughly level, and now the cones have settled on the front I will re-adjust them.

Haven't got a pic of the finished item but heres one in the thick of it .

Will get another pic either today or tomorrow.

Finally got a pic with the new hilos fitted, the ride height is just about how I want it, any lower and I risk catching the wheels at the front and I dont want to trim any more metal away.

I forgot to add when I took the pic I had just reversed it out the garage and it was jacked up in the air, so the suspension had not settled yet. Ill get another pic tomorrow to compare . The arches make it look like its sitting high.

Wow Paul how did i miss this nice work mate

Thanks .

Went down to hi-tech motorsport today to have it rolling roaded. 52bhp at 5700 rpm. Not bad I dont think for a 998 stage 1.

Heres some vids for your viewing pleasure.





Feels much better now, the pick up is great.

Paul .

[carboy001]

52bhp would that be the flywheel or wheels?

He was giving it some beans wasnt he! Sounded nice

[Pauly]

At the flywheel that was.

[mini_mad69]

That's good power for a 998, mine only made 42 at the fly.


Cars looking good.
