Not sure about the suspension. It was set up professionally by someone for Taphouse. It didn't seem particularly hard.

It took a heavy hit, nice imprint of the lampost there! Looks too far gone from the views given. I'm sure there are plenty of decent bits to salvage. I'd be interested in some of the polybushed suspension parts if you do decide to go that far. Not one to circle over a carcass but might as well join them!

I was only really asking as I maintain coilovers are for the track and not the road, unless you set the car up each time you go out weather dependant.

I would be intrested in the manifolds mind you and vis indicators lol

Sorry to read of another rather poorly ZS there... looks fairly terminal to me!

Glad you were able to walk away though!

Not had a problem with the coilovers on the road. Only issue suspension wise has been bushes. Car failed mot on cracked compensator link on one side and dodgy bush on other side. When we took then off it looks like the wrong bushes had been used and had been badly spot welded into place. Car felt much better once that was done. Unfortunately only got that done on saturday!

I'm not very happy today. Finally got a chance to have a quick look under the bonnet. Pulled out the battery in case it decided to leak (fortunately it isn't, but its taken a whack) and got a look at the gearbox. Its been ripped off the mount so now has a gaping hole in the top so I can't just transplant that into a new car. It will have to be stripped and the quaife refuted into another I guess. Hoping the exhaust manis are ok still.

Is there a way to have the ecu checked to see if that is ok?
