I too had quotes buy they were more '50.00 basic then 20.00 for each adjustment' so it's nice to know sumo have the fixed price.....

Yeah that's really good tbh,I was thinking about going to tdi south as they said it would be £84 per hour and shouldn't take more than an hour but i might check out sumo instead been wanting to check the place out!

Well done Dean! Time to get out on the road now!!

I paid £60 for full alignment on mine. That's castor, camber and toe on all 4 wheels to the values I gave them. It handles amazingly now too :) The company was A-Line, Dudley.

What settings did you use mate? Don't think whiteline touring will be auitable as it might catch if I set the rear camber to those...

I'm made my own ones up based on the Whiteline touring/race settings. I'm running the following..

Front
1.6 deg camber
0.2 deg toe in
?.? castor

Rear
2.1 deg camber
0.0 deg toe
?.? deg castor

I'll have a look at my print-out and edit this post at the weekend when I'm home

:)

Thanks people :) I switched the plugs out today for ANOTHER set of bcr8es... I fitted a fresh set a few months ago but they are buggered due to the car being moved about etc and not doing any actual mileage. Easier to fit a new set as they are so cheap. Also refitted the bumper, carbon cooling panel (thanks to Craig) and managed to securely fit full arch liners with the vertex front :) just refitting the decat and wiring up a gauge left before final alignment and a trip out on Sunday

No, just drilled two holes to mount on to the fixing points. Craig made the panel without all the original holes ;)

There is a gap, but it doesn't make any difference because air will be forced under it into the rad. Cooling panels are only there to stop air escaping over the top of the slam panel. I just think they do a good job covering up the big gap is all :)

Yeah that's why I asked as I wanted to get one but thought the gap would look a bit horrible,like its not made to fit.

I'll get you a pic mate, it's better than nothing. But doesn't fit this type of bumper as well as the standard one of course :)

Considering selling up now for 12.5k Getting things in order and haven't used the car for quite some time. It's literally finished apart from the front brakes are bedding in. Just had a brand new clutch and flywheel fitted along with an s14 5spd gearbox conversion. Pm me for details until I get an advert up :). I'll only sell this car to a club member that will look after it and I think with a couple of tweaks and personal touches someone will own one of THE best s15's in the country....

No way! :(

Whats next then? Spose youve got your baby to think about :nod:

Any other project ideas down the line?

After all that hard work you have done I would never want to sell it, spose if youve got money tied up in it though its a good way of getting some cash for more important things!
