Yes, sorry, do mean to answer that, I've sent Will a text and am awaiting a response.

And am also awaiting latest invoice...

[rxl]

haha.. is it something special? looks nice and i do want to have it..
whats the diameter of the bar?

[cardcrash]

Well I have the full specs of the ARB, but I'm getting the impression Will had wished I'd signed an NDA. This is a 'VRS special edition' and he'd kinda rather I didn't let 'the people' know the full specs so they can run off and take them elsewhere. I've already kept quiet about the full cam specs.

That said, he's just told me he's given up trying to take over the world so I might as well spill.

It's an 034 Motorsport RS4 adjustable solid rear 'sway bar' as the yanks like to call them, and the Aussie's for that matter. 25.4mm, should help with body roll!

And just for fun the latest part picture, rear tie rods:

Some rear subframe bushes:


And some Paint Over Rust 15 for the hubs:

Ok well Kit said I should leave the grey alone:


But I'm digging the black:


Opinions will always vary...

Hard to make out in that photo/ light the black highlighting.

[cardcrash]

Thanks! Always a good thing when your opinions are reinforced

[Error404]

and when Kits are trashed

[cardcrash]

Ha ha haaa!! Yeah right! I was umming and ahhing when he said that as I greatly value his opinion, but then I saw the results and was happy. I might pop down and see him actually, see how he's getting on with his S2! He's only a couple miles down the road...

Ok, updates with a surprise today...

Here's some bushes that have shown up, not particularly interesting:


Some exciting progress under the wheel arches, KW v3's in place:


Caliper being held up by hand for illustration purposes only:


View of the v3's, disc, and POR15'd wishbone & subframe:


Then I receive this: "Here's your new shifter"


I have no recollection of discussing gearstick options, and am not even sure if it's a joke! This is what I get for giving Will 'room to move'!

Bring it on I say...

[irishs2]

Awesome work. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[cardcrash]

Some drive shafts, bushes, engine/gearbox mounts...:










and that concludes today's update...

[K Simmonds]

This thing is going to be awesome, good to see the car going back together... I really like the the colour of the IM and cam cover etc, the black detailing works well, anything bright would have ruined it.
