Thiiiiiiiiiiiink they are like £42 each or something like that. So yeah same price as vibra's bascially.

Don't know who the chav is, some randommer who stopped to look at the cars lol.

And yeah it's still wonky has been for years I will sort it one day, maybe. If I ever get new plates it will get sorted, but until then, I can't be arsed to faff around with it so it can stay wonky and piss off the OCD freaks who may sit behind me in traffic lol.

nice update

Right.. as per new title, I have 1x fucked coilover! Yay...

Today was going smoothly... Whipped off the gearbox cradle to change the gearbox mounts and also did a general check under the car cleaning it of any dirt ect.

Then I moved onto lubing up a squeeky poly bush on the suspension top mount. Off it came with no problem at all as you can imagine, then upon doing up the strut top bolt, it went snap! The whole thread has snapped off from the coilover. Totally f**ked off to say the least.

Literally cannot be bothered with the car at the moment, it can stay in the garage for as long as I care.

But... I might possibly have a plan. I will see how well it works but I can't guarantee anything... The plan is to somehow weld the thread back on, either with mig or tig. I will examine it all once it's been completely stripped down to see if it is possible without causing any other problems.

The one problem I will have unless I can find a way around it, is that I will have no damping adjustment on the drivers side because the dampening screw snapped off when it went pingggggggggggg.

Pictures - combination of phone and camera:







So yeah, that's fucked.

Only upside is, it now has some mega stance and insane camber!

This was resting on the jack after a quick stip down of some components:

This was the moment I heard it snap and I thought I would give it a wiggle.

Not too bad, same sort of camber on the ZS

Shame was looking forward to you getting this back out again!

fail

hope its fixed soon!

I don't like the calipers, they don't suit the car.....

fuck off you slut!

Yeah massive fail Adam. I hope so too! REALLY do. Just knowing I can't drive it because of the fact it's fucked upsets me lol. I will email AVO today with some pics and that video and be like WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF BITCHES? and go from there

I'm sure it will get sorted sooner or later some how.

It should be fine when you do yours, I've never once had a problem with them. It will just get to a point where it spins around and then you need to use a couple of spanners to tighten it up... It didn't even get to that point with this though for whatever reason, it just decided it would be a funny cunt and snap.

AVO will be getting a shitty phone call about their product quality no doubt. See if I can get them to do it cheaper.
