Thanks for the info. Great header whatever it is. Was advertised as the torque kun version but I won't complain either way lol.

Wee spin up the North Coast on Monday, with a quick stop off at the dark hedges. First time I've been, class spot.

Very proper build

I love the Clio you had but I think the S2000 is more special

Thanks mate. Yeah loved the clio but your right the S is more special and definitely prefer it.

Better photo without the highly processed look

So I hadn't been fully content with my ride height/ stance for some time and took a good hour or more measuring exactly how I wanted it to sit.

Getting the car jacked was an absolute nightmare. 30 minutes, a number of planks of wood, low profile ramps which were still too tall and two jacks later and she was up in the air.
Ride height is absolutely spot on now[emoji108]
Really happy with how it sits.

So after my geo setup, full polybush kit and coilover adjustment the car finally looks and handles like a dream.
