KYB 343292. Cost me £70 from a local motor factors. From an L200.

Bolt straight in. Need a fair amount of lift as they are 15" closed.

It's competition month. Gotta get the best damn photos I can!

I'm just thrilled to be getting out laning. I made it my thing. In 2013 I'm going to do lots of laning! Alright, you lot beat me by going on new years day but I don't think i'm doing too bad getting out on the 3rd.

I'll get as many pics as I can.

Think we will let you off. Hope its somewhere good. I do love a good laning session I've spent most of today looking at photos of yesterday and reminiscing over how good it was.

Well i've been out and given her the once over for her first 2013 outing. Everything seems tickety boo. I'm quite excited about the greenlaning and am hoping everything goes ok. Might get invited back then, lol.

Just been going through my list of to do's in my head. Its long and expensive. Got all year to do it. 2013 is going to be an exciting year. In my head at least anyway.

Soon as i'm back tomoro i'll post any and possibly all pictures i take whilet we are out. All i mnow of the day is meeting point is Haydon Bridge off the A69. So i've got 60mile just to get there.

They've arrived!

2 complete SU HIF44s. Complete with mini manifolds i believe. So may be able to make some money back on them.

Yup, it's an almost complete 1.6 SPI out of a vitara. As stated it was £60 and is now sat in my garage with various other bits. As an added bonus it still has the PAS pump on it too so i don't have to mess about fitting the jimny pump.

Bring on Feb the 16th! Sooner if cash flow allows!
