cheers dude,

karl_tate · May 05, 2011, 06:21:19 PM

took a day off work and had a drive out to get the car\'s suspension set up. obviously everything was out because ive had it all off but its just awesome around the corners now

Wow. That\'s low! Really like how your car looks and sits. When I have my fun with the rx4 I will no doubt get another FD and attempt something like this.

How wide have you gone on the rear tyres?

karl_tate · May 05, 2011, 07:02:31 PM

cheers bud,

today involved trying to wrap the rear valance in carbon and its turned out great. then it was the task of sanding the bay, masking and spraying to tidy it up. will hopefully get some better pics tomorrow at JDM allstars but these will do for now.

last saturday morning i went to get an MOT...everything fine until i get to the brakes. there was no pressure at the rear. quickly made up a copper pipe to bypass the valve and all was good. thats the second one ive had. then driving back from the garage. pulled out from a junction, gave it some throttle in second but at around 5k it was not sounding right, was still pulling like a train but backed off, didnt get chance to see the AFR as it was that quick. as i back off changed up a gear and started cruising but all was not good. fluctuating boost gauge, no throttle responce and sounding like a tractor.

totally gutted. anyway sunday afternoon ripped it out and stripped the ancillaries off. another problem i didnt want is the clutch is fduk\'d. its only done 5000 miles. not sure whats happened. the thing is it felt fine and it\'s never slipped under load. its also made a mess of the flywheel too.

Project rebuild....
