Ah ok, that makes sense as the last time I checked my bushes (few months ago) they looked intact. Need to try and confirm which side it is, I've heard it's extremely difficult/impossible to find play in the ball joint, if I take the arm aofr nd look at the ball joint/move it will that confirm it? Thanks Jez

What was the knocking noise like? I thought one of my bushes has failed so I was going to swap them with SuperPros, but I was told today that it's the ball joint making the noise (this was said after they drove my car). It's like a knocking which we think is coming from the left hand side and a slight wheel wobble. Obviously if it's the ball joint then I will require an entire arm at a much greater cost, but I thought most of the time it was failed bushes.

Bought some spares of him a while ago for pennies.

Yes please mate, got one very small door dink that I can only see in a certain light. Did you have any like that done? It's right in the middle of the door, from someone opening their door onto it I guess, always wondered how they would get access to it pull it out.

I've developed a faint clunk when turning left on mine, must be the banana arm bushes. Will probably stick Super Pros in as an upgrade. Is this the noise that people normally get with bush failure? I do check mine when I have the wheels off and the last time I looked the buses seemed ok, is it obvious if they've failed? Edit - all drop links have been upgraded to Whitelines since I lowered the car so it can't be them.

Those are my favourite people! They hear a noise above a whisper, so you MUST be doing 70 in a 20, outside a blind school. I particularly relish encountering them "rambling" in the valleys and fells of the Lake District, looking down their noses as you rumble through, entirely obedient of the law. I find a liberal application of high revs fills said valley with a great, thunderous, echoing, V6 roar - which pleases everyone! You get to enjoy your Zed and the middle class mafia have something to tut about amongst themselves when they sit down for a cream tea and anti-depressants. When they get home they can then compose a letter to the National Trust complaining, taking their pleasure and sense of entitlement to a whole new level! If they had nothing to whine about, they'd be bored to death. It's practically a public service! - Concerned, of *****-on-the-Hill Hahaha brilliant! Me and the other half quite often go to National Trust places in the Z, can't say I've had any negative reactions though. We actually went to Chartwell House today and people were staring as I scraped over every single speed bump

Oh no that's terrible, would have for something like this to happen, I bet you are pi**ed off.

^ All depends on the local police. They also vary at what speed you can 'get away' with over the limit, Sussex Police is 10% + 3mph over before they can enforce anything.

Course is around £85 depending on where you live. You won't get any points or a fine just the fee for a course. The idea is that you do the course and it will have no effect on your insurance, you don't have to declare it. (Although some insurers cheekily ask and will put your premium up if you tell them) You can only do the course once in a three year period and you only qualify if you didn't exceed a upper limit which can also vary where you live. For example with Sussex Police, if caught in a 60mph zone going up to 75mph then you can do the course, anything over then it's points/ban if massively exceeded. Only know all this as I was caught at 75 in a 60 last year

People's reactions are funny, it does give you a good feeling though knowing you are driving something that turns heads the way it does. Always getting comments at petrol stations, car parks and thumbs up when driving etc, I guess it's a mixture of rarity/looks/noise

Looks like a really good box this month, going to use a few products today

I'm really tempted by ARB upgrades, but fear her being too stiff and somewhat skittish, no problems at all? I like the OEM ride, but I don't like the degree of roll permitted. How does it behave near the edge, is breakaway still progressive or much less forgiving? Sorry for the late reply, only just saw this. It won't make the drive any more stiff like stiffer springs do, it just tightens up body roll in cornering, rides like OEM otherwise and then when you want to push the car they allow a much better drive. The beauty of the Eibach ARBs is that they are adjustable, medium suits me fine for fast road and normal driving. You can switch them to fully stiff if you are going on the track. The rear can be a bit more lively as obviously it is tighter so they will take a little getting used to if you like to 'drive' your car, but it is more predictable now I've found (although this could just be from experience) Turn in improves, steering is very precise and understeer is pretty much non existent with them set to medium.

Other way round.

Note HFCs will add a rasp which you may or may not like. For the best gains then HFCs or decats plus cat back exhaust and panel filters, as said above. You will need an UpRev remap to take advantage of any breathing mods. Yet to hear any negative response about an UpRev, everyone that's had one loves it. Mine goes in next week, can't wait!

Autobrite Jaffa + wire brush and tooth brush. Worked really really well, bay actually looks brand new after using it. I keep it dressed with Poorboys Dressing every so often. Hasn't needed a rewash yet and probably won't until next year.

Had a flash, thumbs up and a (attempted) blast with a GTR a couple of weeks ago. Have been flashed by GTRs before which is cool

This morning at 6:15 am, looked lovely, I was in the work van so didn't flash.

Cheers guys

Sounds like you need a new mechanic

Got to be the Eibach ARBs I think, made such a positive difference. Exhaust is a close second. Going for an UpRev next week so that could top it all.

These are so nice What size are they? And tyre size?

Hate the lack of accelerator foot rest when using cruise control and also the headlight washers as above, my car is rarely dirty as I'm such a clean freak and hate the mess it leaves behind! Love everything else, can't really fault the way it drives or the power of it and the positive comments/attention it gets
