i can supply newmans from blanks much cheaper than kents if interested. and glad going for proper tbs and not shitty dbilas ones. i may be able to get some tbs for a better price than sbd too, they seem to like charging over the odds

Haha class , good ladd Jamie! :P why isnt it that easy for me ? :S

Anyway a mini update is over due ,

Sold my 205 challenge car .... :(

on the upside it means... plenty money for the BLUE BUSS


So on Friday i decided i would buy a few things for it......


- KN Panel filter
- Witec Fully adjustable coil-overs (TX - high specs)
- Goodridge brake hoses
- Black Dimond Drilled and groved front discs
- Black Dimond Performance front pads
- Whitline anti roll bars (front and rear)
- OMP Strut braces (front and rear)
- Mocal oil catch tank
- VX performance inlet manifold (just for now, decided i would get camms and TBs at same time)
- Control arm polly bushes
- Rear axle polybushes

Just waiting for the postman now ;)

I was wondering if anyone knows of any pictures on here of front whiteline antiroll bar setups? (wondering if i need to buy more polly bushes or if they come with evrything you need ? )

much appreciated if you do.....
