Hi Ian
What are the wheels on the blue car please?

Look like Pegasus to me. Found on s60/v70r's

Close, but not quite!

They're 17x7" Titans from the 850R/T5's. Have to use 25mm spacers with them though.

Edit- apparently Titan's are T5R wheels, which were replaced by Volans on the 850R's.

Well I'm glad to report back that the strut brace fits perfectly!!

Got it painted and fitted today. Haven't taken it for a spin yet, will report back once I have!

Nice one, I'd have been supprised if it didn't. I did make them as high as possible, in order to clear a 16v.

Took it for a quick spin last night. Definitely feels a little sharper. Threw it into an island and it just gripped. Before it would have felt like you were having to fight the front end with very little feedback.

However, I think it's now just showing up how terrible the rear end is on mine! Need to start buying poly bushes for the rear and then swapping in the 1041! Then maybe some double AR bars on the rear!

I fitted my duel rear arb's yesterday and it's made a huge difference in rear roll, it feels well planted at the rear. The front now feels too soft so will have to double up there as well, or get a bigger one.
It's got to be the best mod for the money.

I parts fabed for one more, which I didn't get around to making. I'll get it made soon. It'll be the last one of these for a while.

The last one now provisionally sold
