As I mentioned a bit earlier, it seems it was about time (or even a bit late!!) for an upgrade. When I got the first strut out it has seen better days...
... Slightly passed their sell-by date I think!
I was a pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to fit. The only real problem was the front ride height when I first fitted them....
It was a simple enough job to set them a little higher and I'm now really pleased with how its sitting.
So.... After the last few ‘tweaks’ as mentioned in my thread the other day...

Been tinkering again!
It has always been in the back of my mind that the car wasn't quite where the majority of the spec suggested it should be.
We had always wondered whether the standard airbox was just slightly strangling the top end so I've finally given in and swapped the airbox and panel filter for a K&N Induction Kit. I'd also spoken to people about the possibility that not having the bonnet scoop sealed to the larger TMIC I was running may have been affecting the intake temps at higher RPM and when the chance to get hold of an HKS Front Mount came along I couldnt say no...
So on Saturday a few weeks ago myself and Mr T (Cheers again for the help mate!) removed most of the front of my car, fitted the front mount and then cut away large chunks of my bumper so we could re-fit it!
So after all that and nearly a year since last going on the rollers with Simon and Charlie it was back over to Chobham yesterday.
