after using the biggest crew driver i have and i bit of leverage with the body of the car, i managed to get the bolt out far enough to string some wire around it and pull it out.any one got ideas for the other side, the front of the strut is already pushing up against the sump. after playing around with the bush i am wondering how i passed the road safety inspection.... shabusta has attached the following image: |

just a quick update on this one, i got sick of not having a car so i said F**k it and forced the lower engine mount back on, without its shinny new bush, put the exhaust back on and drove off.maiden voyage and i nicked the retaining wall on the way out  fair bit of damage from the steel girder to the side skirt.but apart from that the drive is amazing!!! cornering is 20-30km/hr faster and still feels perfectly stable, precision of the wheel is excellent, can let go of the wheel and it will point straight out of a corner. down sides are s**t breaks, went from an E2 compound to an E1, sh*t of ordering from a local importer. suspension is great but very bouncy or forceful in some locations but amazing everywhere else, i would say some simple adjustment to the settings will fix this. i have found the rear end to have a fair bit of flex in it, is the hybrid arb worth it? $400+ p/h from spoox, where can i get one cheaper? in the flex department will the arb fix most flex or can you also stiffen diagonally for corners instead of just parallel? |

Apparently the E1 rating is the best you can get from the Germans??? http://www.hsy.com.au/ate-ceramic-brake-pads i will change to they arnt bad just no bite and requires a firm foot on the pedal, good for casual driving, or i just haven't worn them in yet. |

cheers mate i remember coming across them a while ago and could not find them again.sent them an E-mail see what i get back. any recommendations on ARB / Torsion sizes? ARB is probably the big one, i would probably be better off finding slightly larger bars from a wreck. |

You can buy more on ebay or similar quite cheaply - measure one of yours and buy a similar size. You can also get ones that are easier to disassemble, they have a bit that pushes down the middle to engage them, which you unscrew/pull out and the rest of it pulls out easily. The OE clips are not designed for repeated assembly/disassembly, hard not to break one or two. Levering them gently with 2 screwdrivers and persuading them out can help keep breakages to a minimum. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
