CarreraG50 Posted 6August, 2014 Report Share Posted 6August, 2014 "John you might want to park in front of the door so you're next in line LOL :)" If he rings today and says bring my car tomorrow or I miss my spot, I'll spew. I work 500mts away from PROMOTIVE every day, except tomorrow I have my quarterly visit to our research centre on Heron Island.

FlatSix Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 I don't think I have heard anyone complain about going to Heron Island before! I could always go in your place John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 28August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28August, 2014 Bespoke RSR rear swaybar and mounts Note the curve on the swaybar rear arms. The other brands arms always hit the road when adjusted on the inner holes. With this bespoke bar and arms from Promotive this is no longer an issue. Front mount & spacer The front mount for the bespoke RSR through the body swaybar and the front spacer we've been waiting on. Bespoke Swaybars Custom splined swaybars not the big ugly squares like most others Soooooooooooooooooooooon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted 28August, 2014 Report Share Posted 28August, 2014 You can't call the square ones "Ugly" thats just being "Anti Sway Bar" I'm now feeing the pressure to get mine finished in time for C&C.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 5September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 5September, 2014 It has arrived and is 99.99% finished this stage of the build LOL Still a few things to do but they can wait until the parts arrive. Still waiting on new tyres from Longstones in the UK so still on the old TB 15's on it as well as just tweaking the setup a bit once we get the new tyres on it but driving it is like night and day compared to before. It looks amazing but 99% of it is under the car so you'll need to get down on the ground and look up but it is frickin amazing work. Will post all the images once I get them from Michael.

Quozl Posted 5September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 5September, 2014 To be honest the majority of the work is under the car as it was all suspension and brakes. Allot of the earlier photos show what we've done but just not with the parts installed. Once I can get a USB stick over to Michael I'll get him to copy the images over and I'll post them up.

Quozl Posted 9September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 9September, 2014 Thought I'd add these to the thread. Cal took them at Cars and Coffee on Saturday the 6th so most of you who were there have probably seen them already. Hoping to get some detailed shots of the undercarriage work in place when we have it at Michael's to put the new tyres on it. Also trying to get some professional shots done at some stage as well.

I actually "manned up" and told this to Al's face, while he was initially taken a back he is slowly coming to terms with the reality of it and i expect the car to be coming my way shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 9September, 2014 Report Share Posted 9September, 2014 I only took 1 other shot mate and frankly, it's not up to the standard of those, so I won't bother posting it. It's looking amazing Al. I reckon it will be off the chart when the IROC bumpers go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quozl Posted 16September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 16September, 2014 Wow looks awesome. What are they Al? Michelin TB15's from Longstone Tyres in the UK. Same as what was on there but the old ones were well worn and we changed the sizes to 215/55VR15 Fronts and 270/45VR15 Rears as the tyres the previous owner had on there were a bit wide for the car.

Quozl Posted 18September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 18September, 2014 LOL. yea, no.......... Unfortunately the supplier here doesn't have stock of the sizes I need and they don't sell them at TyreRack in the States so no deal on these ones.

Quozl Posted 20September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 20September, 2014 Just got back from the first decent drive and the car is transformed. Amazing brakes and suspension, with the car really hooking up well through the twisty bits. First we went out to Scarborough for fish and chips at the boat shed for a bit of a cruise and then back in via Kalangur and out to Dayboro, back in towards Samford and then a blast down Winn Rd. Car was so much better and the new tyres stick like shyte to a blanket. Amazingly good fun, now I just need another 20K for bumpers, iroc tail, headers, exhaust, front oil cooler and a complete respray and I'll be finished.
