So what do I look for when it comes to an MBC then?

**M-R-P** · Monday 3rd October 2011, 20:55

I'd suggest a gated one ie. has a spring/ball valve which delays and restricts flow to the w/g actuator rather than a bleed valve which allows metered air to disappear from the system. Just my personal preference, I'm sure this subject will stir up some opinions

Forge unos.

Fitted one of Tomcats splitters the other day (or John did I should say), looks fantastic

And the more eagle-eyed of you (pedro) will notice the electric aerial was also removed and replaced with something a bit less obvious lol

looking good Sam, needs the R spoiler & eyebrows now. Must say your a brave man............................................... .................................................. ............for letting Johnny do the work, i remember watching him do the repairs at Coombe, or stand round with his hands in his pockets while you & the spectactors did the work lol

**JT's Mechanic** · Saturday 22nd October 2011, 18:06

Lol it may look like I do the work but he comes along and fixes it once i'm done lol. He's done more to my car than I have...

And eyebrows??

**Tomcat** · Saturday 22nd October 2011, 18:16

Presume he means headlight eyebrows.

**JT's Mechanic** · Saturday 22nd October 2011, 18:21

That's sort of what I thought, not something I had planned on doing though. Not convinced they would look that good lol

Sam i know he's got lots of bits spare that'll fit on your car, but i think it was a bit nasty of him to force you to say that lol

Stunning! Keep up the good work

**Niles** · Monday 7th November 2011, 22:36

lol. Andy, you only say its stunning because it looks very VERY similar to yours. Anyone else would say its a very lovely car (and that includes me).
JT's mech, are people allowed to touch your car without velvet gloves? lol
