    where have you taken it?
    Sytner Ascot on Sat AM, know a couple of the boys in the workshop so they chucked it on for me for a drink, but I was in a rush and couldnt hang around.

    Think as the rubbers are brand new its pulled it up a lot more, so probably needs some washers to give it a bit more or a gap whilst still being tight.

    Will try and live with it till it goes in for the diff seal on the 24th as they said they will play with it then ..

      Cheers Daz

      I did a bit of DIY in the garage when it started to hail today. Managed to strip off the final rubber mount which was knackered so I need to order one for delivery next week.



      Also had a go at dropping the SS back box a little but it really needs more adjustment than I can see me getting do that can wait.

      Finally whilst in the mood I striped off a few other broken bits like the two little mud flaps in front of the rear wheels which had split, the finger guard for the radiator fan which had broken at Snett (I guess something had hit it), had a go at the heat shield at the rear which since fitting the SS box and getting subframe done had started to rattle and also removed the front number plate and holder which is coming loose.



      Then i took to bits the BMW wheel centre caps which come to bits to 3 pieces as the BMW bit looked shite.



      I've got a few bits to buy somewhere now..........:smokin:

        Bit of DIY today then Shim :hahaha:

        With regards to the SS adjustment... on the exhaust hangers on the backbox there are slots, so you might be able to move the backbox up/down using those. (see below)



        Also if one side sits lower than the other you should be able to adjust according to this site: http://www.klangford.com/ssraceinstall.htm - worth a read.

        Or if you still can't do it, take it somewhere to get it done for you :hahaha:

          Cheers Rich, I saw that once I'd taken one side off and was gonna go it when I put the new rubber in BUT my SS box also seems to site further under my car than most (so far you can't see the top of the tips at all) bit I can see an easy way to pull it further out?

              Mine also sits under the bumper and i cant see the tops of the tips but it does it's job and chucks everything out the rear so it's no biggie.

              I'd think it might be a struggle to get it out further as its goverend by the fixed Flange on the centre part of the system that the rear box bolts to so that dictates how far in or out it sits.

                                I've just been to my stealers and ordered some new nuts/bolts and a couple of rubber hangers ready for my unresonated Supersprint centre section solution to go on at the weekend - hopefully :whistle: :smt096
