    Hella Headlights

    Cheers, something a bodyshop should be able to do whilst getting the front bumper painted do you think?

    Hella Headlights

    I'll be buying two new headlights and I've noticed the Hella ones (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163585924099?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gt2bXHAaQNG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cyMunfjgTbG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) are described as 'without motor for headlamp levelling'. Is...

    EVO update

    10 grand for a project car?! What kind of 'project' are they thinking?!

    Sachs Damper Protection

    Cheers all. This is what I'm going to do. Not sure of a better alternative, short of getting a scraper/wiper seal modification.

    Sachs Damper Protection

    That’s the exact kit I was meaning. Anyone have decent feedback on it?

    Sachs Damper Protection

    Yeah they're the originals which don't do a huge amount to stop the ingress of dirt but there's an aftermarket kit available that's been mentioned in the past. Will need to have a dig and see what it was.

    Sachs Damper Protection

    What are people currently doing with theirs over and above the crap rubber boots that came as standard? As I've mentioned in the main Sachs rebuild thread, a scraper/wiper seal mod is what I was wanting but Cornering Force are currently unable to offer this so my freshly refurbed dampers are...

    Sachs on EBay

    It appears the penny has started to drop. After many relists it's bidding starting at £1250 and a buy it now of £1850.

    Sachs and recaros

    If I was after a set I'd be wanting to get them refurbed and factor that in to the price, assuming it's been a few years. Suspect they'd get snapped up at mid-high hundreds but that's just my take.

    Sachs and recaros

    I was just meaning generally so I can give me 2 pence, I'm not after a set. i.e. freshly refurbed/used and not refurbed for a few years/refurbed but sat around for 5 years etc.

    What condition are the front shocks in? There's a set on ebay up at an absolutely radio rental price, been relisted twice and mentioned in the other thread- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156031622074

    Relisted a second time. Zero bids. When does the penny drop? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156031622074

    I remember some people on the cliosport forum thinking the ~£720 I paid for a spare new set was steep in 2020. That's cloud cuckoo land asking prices though, would need to be utterly desperate. I sold my late dad's Jaguar XJ for £3000 last year to put value in perspective.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    No idea and I'd probably be as well asking my dead grandparents.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    My dampers are now complete at Cornering Force, they've been away since June. The main reason for this has been the fact that they no longer have their own machine shop and had trouble sourcing one to machine two new valve bodies. Fair enough, I've not been in a desperate rush to get them...
