Thanks for the detailed info! I knew the uprights could be a problem but I was hoping it would be slightly easier to solve than this

Ooh, interesting! PM coming your way

Please change yours and sell them to me at a poor Swede rate

Hahah, do you two clever boys wanna chip in so I can buy a coilover kit??

Thanks, loser...

Naah...! The 20 kg emergency tool kit in the trunk, on the other hand, is great for balance

Pfff... Gotta get my 10W-60 oil and some other stuff from A to B, don't I?

Alright, good. It stays between this and the 90 degree mark regardless of whether it's idling or driving enthusiastically.I've actually never heard the fan kick in... Will double check if it's broken.

Short clip from today's entertainment...

Looking fantastic!! Pics of the interior? How many cats and silencers does it have right now? Pre-cats on the manifolds?

A little too high, isn't it?

Welcome! How does the Spider feel like to drive compared to the Megane RS? Edit: it's a Spider, not a GTV...

Done! Go read it... http://www.squadra916.com/forums/topic/3347-my-experience-with-badge-stickers/#entry14796

Terrible pic but you see what I mean...

My GTV leans backward...? I inspected the rear springs carefully, but couldn't see any damage. New springs?

3.90€ was too tempting so I had to try!

Looks kinda cheap...

Badge repair stickers arrived today. Fitting them this weekend, probably...

I'm curious too I expect them to be really noisy on the road, worse than cheap summer tires. They should grip well on the track tho, but the problem is that I will not have another point of reference once I try them. The Nankangs with TW 480 will not get close to a track

I will probably post a video later because I tried out my GoPro at the same time.

Test driven! It runs like it should but I've got a pile of strange noises that I need to sort out... Also, the brake pedal was a little too fond of the floor... I want that Alfa feeling in the pedal so I gotta bleed the brakes some more. Touchdown... The offset of these wheels is not perfect but the Stilautos are slightly better at 35. The latter are also wider, 7.5in versus 7.0in. Will probably fill the arches better. In my mind, fitting the original Ph1 grille and removing that stupid antenna actually improved the looks a bit. Agree? Still pretty shitty in terms of the condition of the paint and so on, but who cares Anyhow, I'M HAPPY! I expected more trouble since I'm far from an experienced mechanic.

I know. Pink goes well with the color of my eyes. Or so I've been told. Check out my Chinese tires (Nankang NS2, courtesy of a previous owner ) Treadwear 480, anyone?? Hahah edit: spelling

Great color combo

Hahah, yea I will, in the future, when I install a roll cage What I left doesn't weigh much.

Annoyingly, it turned out to be more complicated than expected... Whoever first installed them did it caveman style. Drilled right through the plate and right through the bumper. I got a holder so that the screws wouldnt show, but the existing holes were not compatible with the holder (couldnt redrill the holder either because of its design, weird stuff). This means that we're back to square one. Actually, I'm satisfied like this. It suits the rat race style of the car... Up front, the plate was screwed right into the bumper just like at the rear. Not a very stable way of mounting it and the paint was damaged underneath the plate. Didn't have an decent foamy material lying around so I took the soft part of a velcro strip and stuck them on the back of the plate... At least it won't scratch the paint now The Stilauto Ghibli wheels that I bought have finally been brought home. 17x7.5 ET35. Not in tip top shape... but I don't care They weigh just under 11 kilos a piece, tho... They sure as hell aren't Alleggeritas. Cost me 60€, on the other hand, so I'm happy as usual! Project Lightness has moved forward a little bit, too. My car had a ridiculous antenna as you can see in my first post in this thread. Laughable. And it refused to play anything other than state channels. Obviously, it had to go... I'm going to plug the hole with a round plastic cover. Right now it's impossible to reach from inside the trunk, so Daddy Angle Grinder will remove some unnecessary metal. Project Lightness approves! Also, I removed the speakers for obvious reasons like the radio only playing state channels and the fact that I won't hear it anyway. I removed the "trays" that the speakers are mounted in and replaced the speaker grille because it's ugly to leave holes in the panel. Sorry for the shitty image. A few kilos saved. Today's surprise... found this beside the right hand side rear speaker. Who the hell left a cigarette butt there... The grooved area represents 1 L, yes? Edit: Spelling is hard. True story.
