    Hah yeah its more like a 70mm, bespoke size Badgerman, umm coilies all down, not sure on how much exactly, estimate around 100/110 mill? Yeah i got to work on the arches, using electrical tape on the edges to avoid paint splitting. Took 4/5 hours with stancing.

    i thought stem seals would burn a little bit of oil under load? Mine is blue smoking a tiny bit, narrowed it down to stem seals. Done rocker gasket and a compression test, and that came back bang on

    I've noticed that! Always runs into the car, straight down towards the window switch.

    i get about 25 at the worst round town, then 35 on the motorway up to 40 on a long run. Not the best but loads better than my previous volvo 850 t5 demon fuel abuser.

    Windows down, equally each side, so the front edge just disappears past the mirror :clap: Pray the right hand indicators arent stuck on, if so pop out and rip all the bulbs out (can do it in approx 15 seconds now!) The drive, slowly, watching out for any potholes/cambers/catseyes. And pray for no problems. The list is so long now i dunno what to do. Despite all this, it's the best car i've ever owned and loved.

    one side sits perfect, the other doesnt??? Stupid bent corrado. I've got 25/300mm adaptors on at the moment. It's the camber at the back from it being so low that give the impression its tucked a bit i think. I could prob space about 6mm max.

    KIPVW will not approve but.... TA DA!! 165/50/15 goodyear stretch on a 7J rim and coilies down a fair bit more.

    Slight update :D Drove to manchester on Thurs night to collect me new wheels. Put them on about 12 thurs night, didnt raise the car enough and burnt rubber all the way home. So yesterday i got to work doing some "arch work" All you need is a hammer haha. Anyway after about 3 hours of playing with coilovers this is the end result: 15" Porsche cookie cutters. Need some mad stretch and a touch of camber then i can get it down more.
