I honestly don't know, I believe the reg was the original to the car. It was RS Tunings old demo car which was supercharged, I believe they had it painted white.

will hopefully have a look at it tomorrow and let you know the reg.

So chased up to see where my coilovers were in the week, i was told itd be 10 days from the point of order, so they should be here next week now. Would of been nice to of had them this weekend.

I did have a funny noise from the brakes again, so took them apart today. Couldn't see any witness marks of fowling or anything so chucked them back on and the noise stopped...... odd one, might of been a sticky pad or something. The noise was rotational/cyclic but could only be heard at very slow creeping speeds and couldn't be felt, even with spinning the wheels of the ground i found nothing, since removing and refitting the calipers it seems to have gone though....

Finally took delivery of the coilovers. i was getting a little worried after the company i ordered through didnt reply with tracking details. Made a start on fitting them but needed to take the old shocks to a local garage to get the top nuts undone. Thus time has been cut short so i will finish up fitting them tomorrow. Im also on the hunt for some cheap gaz rears.

 

[Adey]

All fitted up roughly and test driven on. Feels great straight off the bat. Nice smooth and compliant but stiffening up when leaned on. I will let them bed in a little then set the heights up properly in the week. There is some camber adjustment on them by way of a slotted top hole, for some reason though it has a frame around it that stops you using it as intended by not allowing the bolt to move...... i must be missing something? ill probably just knock them off with a hammer or angle grinder to allow adjustment.

should have bolts with offset washer with them.

thats what i though. ill double check the box but dont think they were in there

 

[Adey]

defo not there in the box, hmmmm

 

[bloke]

you buy them new?

 

[Adey]

brand spanking, will make some calls tomorrow though itll probably get no where as the company seems abit crappy to deal with tbh

 

[bloke]

threaten to send them back, did you pay by card?

 

[Adey]

i used PayPal so ill get it sorted hopefully. only issue is i cant find any documents that say they should be included

 

[bloke]

They don't use a standard bolt so unless it stated so then they should be included with them.

If you are stuck got a feeling I might have a pair anyway.

 

[Adey]

if you could take a look that would be great. email was fired off this morning so just waiting a reply

 

[Adey]

in other news, some new shoes on the way, hopefully they fit up fine. will see once here

 

[Ricardo]

Yes! Will go well with the lows and the red

 

[Adey]

Yes! Will go well with the lows and the red

I thought so, hopefully they will fit up nicely the advert was quite vague. quick refresh in white and if it doesnt suit too well the obligatory adeyspec satin black

 

[Ricardo]

Vague on the wheel specs, hopefully 4x100 for starters

 

[Adey]

4x100 and 15 is all i have
