how much was the teng tools torque wrench above
I bought that at christmas from england,got it for €40 but delivery was €15, so €55. Local motor factors wanted €127 for it.

Its a 3/8 ratchet torque range from 19-120nm.
If ya want me to look up the site i got it from i will. I got other stuff at the same time and delivery was still €15 so that helped justify the delivery. Some Irish teng dealers have a sale on at the min, 25% off and I found a place that will give the vat off aswell if paying cash so basically things are half price. Might be worth checking out!

Lowering springs and Koni red dampers for the rears.

Fronts fitted, red springs will look good with the red calipers and white wheels me thinks

Looking great man. You were teasing for ages getting them wheels on..

Look great though.. If you could down the line get coilovers and drop it as low as it'll go

Looking good , well done , not sure of the red caliper's with the white wheel's and green body work , i would go black which would hide the caliper and make the wheel's jump more .

After bleeding the brakes about 5 times and still haivng a spongey pedal and crap brakes I finally discovered the rear caliper seals are in a bad way so im ordering a rebuild kit for the rears and hopefully ill have them done and ready for the Bishopscourt drag meet.

Well, I didnt make the meet due to brake problems!

Haven't updated this lately as all ive been trying to sort the spongey brake pedal and between wrong disks been sent to me and waiting on calliper refurbish kits progress has been slow. Got a few little bits done too like fixing 1 of the rear speakers and treated the car to a new battery. Finished fitting the interior carpet and tidying up around the edges too.

I cleaned out my garage in the meantime and got the car in so i can be working at it at night and in the rain.


Fitted an earthing kit to add a bit of glamour to the engine bay
