From what I've heard about the whitelines is that they are much lighter, my tanabe arbs didn't feel that much different to stock. Did Richie recommend these to u Marc?

Well, what a weekend this turned out to be.

Took Friday off work to fit ARB's and polybush my spare rear subframe i bought.

Firstly spend an hour separating rear hubs from arms, then made a start on the subframe bolts.

Everything was that badly corroded that the bolts all rounded off.... :evil:

So i phoned a mate who had a spare subframe fitted to a car.

Drove 50 minutes to remove it from the donor car. Turns oit one of the arms is bent and car was insecure to work on, so that meant i had to turn around without the spare subframe i needed.

So im on a look out for another 2ws subframe

Polybushes on rear will have to wait another day.

Decided to do the ARBs, managed to get the front one fitted no problems :)

Tried starting on the rear, but the bolts were in tight, and rather than rushing it, decided to leave for another day. :x

So got up this morning to give the car a fresh detail/wax before coming down to japshow.

Half asleep and when reversing the car out the garage, i heard a noise and thought id drove over something in the garage.

Parked car up and when walking around with the hose, noticed this:

:evil:

Image

First reaction, was FUUUUUUUCK, someone hit my car, then realised that the noise i heard in the garage was me......

Inspected the garage pillar and found evidence of milano pink

Image

I had to laugh otherwise i would have cried.

Looks like the wing and front bumper deffinately need a respray now.

So washed the car and touched it up best as i could.

Image

Overall not a great weekend....

Oh well, theres always another day :lol:
