Where did you cut the inch off? Was it the off the top or bottom of the shock?

Ok. The springs on mine are the same all the way down and have no tight winds in them. I thought you had modified the shock body itself. I guess the best option would be to buy shorter springs. Thanks

It sounds amazing, il sort a vid out

The dash was a quick job which turnd out nice. If u notice on the unpainted pic of the dash I had 2 lines like a rainbow, they representd the vision lost by the wheel.

Hense why it seems a tad spread out. Just gota alter the tacho

Dude, best place for the fog is bottom right of the rear window. Passes mot, doesn't look ugly and doesn't cause rust.

only illegal if its too loud...

with a turbo youve already lost a lot of noise in the turbine.

Can't be any louder than it was with no silencer last time i heard it. But although it was noisy at idle it never got any louder.
And as for the cherry bomb, it's the noise level not the muffler itself at fault.

Its a tempary fog so its gone after mot.

The cherry bomb takes away high notes, so you get a nice deep noise ouu back.

Due to this the noise is quite mild as its high notes that carry far in the atmosphere

Il get a vidio up tommorow *smiley*
