[missingmyvrs]

Are you sat in car while they setup ? Or they know your weight ?

Gonna be ace

[VRade]

They will do it properly.

 

Weight me out of the car and weight me in the car.

How you finding the FK coilovers had mine fitted for a little while now but still tinkering with the ride height can't go mega low as often have all 3 kids in the back. Nice car btw.

Glad to here it, been having some issues with the rear springs see my build thread. Hope when the new springs arrive its all sorted.

Ok updates!

 

Polybushed the wishbones today! Anyone wants to do it themselfs ill add a little "how-too" here

 

Ok so you start with this

 

 

You want to drill the rubber to relieve some pressure

 

 

Then you want to hit the race (Collar) into itself

 

 

 like this

 

 

Now you want to try cut the collar (Its dead soft) 

 

 

 

Now when you are able to cut half way down, smack it with one of these

 

 

And receive a boo-boo

 

 

but the bush should simply fall out

 

 

 

With the smaller one you NEED to hit the rubber into itself

 

 

then smash it out with this again! 

 

 

TADA!

 

 

 

 

Oh and by the way......

 

DEM CALIPERS BRO! #AwesomeSauce!

 

[TERKIN]

Listen mate, some times its not about size. Its about how fast you can swing it to finish the job... After all theres no winners for 2nd place. 

 

Brakes look good but need some adjustment to fit properly.

 

Will require a little shim for the carrier and then 15mm spacers.

 

Running are you kidding!!!! Iv had some major commitments for the past few weeks so the car has been neglected.

[VRade]

 

How about these then Terkz?

[chrisw4266]

 

How about these then Terkz?

 

 

Some good fine adjustment tools there bud.

I can't wait to see the car finished and read your rolling road figures. I think the car will look fantastic. love the wheels.

[VRade]

Got the wishbone bushes in, new near side track rod, 2 new bottom ball joints.

Cannot wait for the full alignment on the 21st should change the car completely.

Everything is prepped to be change over to hybrid so im going to book a week off when i can get it Nikki @ r-tech

I need to find some pads and brake lines for the calipers.

Changed my mind on the wheels and will be going for Rota Grid Drifts, none staggered

[dsmithmobile]

Nice wheel choice

What size you going for?

[VRade]

18x8.75 all round! 

[dsmithmobile]

Good stuff

I still want some 9.5x18 all round as I like the deeper concave face but won't be for a few months yet,what colour you going for?

[VRade]

Yeah i would go 9,5 all round but i dont know if id like it.

 

I think the occy suits a wide track.

 

Ill be going blue for my wheels 

[dsmithmobile]

I'm all about the aesthetics and not bothered about out else lol

Always loved the aggressive look of them and when I tried my mates set on then I was sold on the idea

Could still be swayed by some xxr's though

And blue sounds cool too and 9.5 may be a bit extreme for you as they poked a bit with stretched tires and as it sounds like your car will be driven hard you'd need a wider tire which could be too much for standard arches.

Look forward to seeing them when you get them though

[VRade]

Been meaning to update this!

 

Engine is getting taken out this week, i have the Air-Con guy coming to drain it tonight and i will be taking my shafts off the box, draining oil/water tonight undoe some hoses.
