Hey! Englishman living in Arbroath

[JamesFox]

Hey all,

I'm new here! Was recommended to come on over from Mini Torque. Ive got a 54 plate Cooper S R53. Ive currently changed to a stailess steel manifold and sports cat, and a stainless exhaust along with an ITG panel filter.

I've ordered some ST XA coilovers and some braided brake lines which will be fitted next weekend. I'm also going to make my own Dave F induction kit, using my airbox and a cone filter. I'm looking to fit an aero front bumper, which will be ordered in a week or so.

Any advice with tip/tricks or things to look out for on the coilovers fitting would be appreciated! Along with anyone who has contacts to a decent body shop on the east coast.

Anyway, I've gone on a bit!

James

:welcome:James get some pics up of the car ,the fitting of the coilovers should be easy enough if you have access to a reasonable tool kit and just take your time if they are adjustable for firmness ,decide on how hard you will set them and do a base setting before you fit them (mainly for rear setting as a pain to adjust after fitting)
