    Zmithy got a reaction from Gringosteve in Miltek Cat Back Non Resonated   
    Getting rid of the 86 this week so off comes the cat back. Been on the car since July (i think, have the reciept from Fensport I need to dig out, fitted it that day). Done about 4k miles and sounds great.
    Looking to get it gone quite quickly so selling for £300 COLLECTION ONLY from Derby.
    Any questions ask away.

    I think these look great on a red car.

    This project section is amazing. There are some serious builds on here. However I thought I'd add a thread for those of us with no mechanical aptitude and even less money but still want to fiddle (a bit) and frankly who feel inadequate after looking at some of the wilder builds on here

    So Bob is a 2015 reg Primo with no factory options whatsoever. He isn't going to get much, but over the months he may get some minor cosmetic tweaks, wheels and possibly audio.

    His first mods were three Studio Ghibli toys in the back window to keep my kids happy (they've forgiven me for having to remove their lower legs now)

    All sorted now. Top mounts all mounted correctly, just span off the bottom section and swapped them over.
    appreciate all the help from everyone, so thankyou for that.
    Now for another question! Now that I have these coulovers, so I need camber bolts or not?

    I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Chis at Tarmac sportz.

    Unfortunately the s**t hit the fan today as I blew all four shock absorbers. On the hunt for some coilovers pretty sharpish. And Chris on his day off agrees to sort me out a set at a bargain price. The set was even for him to use himself! But he kindly passed them onto me.

    Highly recommend Tarmac Sports to anyone, anything you need head to them and he'll go above and beyond to help you.

    All fitted now Chris, although I've now found out why the rears had different springs. Looks like I'm whipping them back out one day soon to use my rubber top mounts in the rear instead of the metal ones!

    Again, massive thank you.

    Alex. (One happy chappy)

    Zmithy reacted to Lauren in Camber bolts?   
    Well, you would be best to get the front camber bolts. A bit more negative camber the front helps turn in. 
     
    For the rear, you may get lucky and lowering will increase the negative camber and it may be just right. If it's within half a degree either side it's not too bad. 
     
    You have to redo your geo setup, yes. Changing the springs and lowering the car will change the geometry.
