Good work bud... So chuffed for you!!!

[the hat]

So was at the car again this evening but unfortunatkey I never got anywhere near as much work done as I\'d hoped mostly due too the immobiliser being a dick again so took the plunge and this is the results are

Hat 1 immobiliser 0



Then I decided too have a look at the rear shocks as the spring on the drivers side was broken and I had some Nissan stuff kicking about I set about the bodgery and now have some r33 gtst tein type hr front shocks and springs fitted too the rear end although I know it\'s gonna be really stiff which doesn\'t bother me I have a feeling I may have too remove a coil as although there about 50mm shorter in length when sat side by side the suspension isn\'t really gonna move with the weight down on it



Then I started on the front but lost interest mostly as I\'m shattered from working from 7-7:30 then straight too the car untill 22:00 but the new front ball joints and track rod ends are now fitted



I\'ve also decided I\'m gonna either fit 17x9 et10 veilside Andrews on the rear and 17x9 et25 advan sa3r  on the front but I hate mismatched wheels so I might fit my 17x8/9 work equips painted satin black too match the spoiler and door mouldings etc

tasty, good work.

i always wondered about the nissan shockes for the rear, now you have answered my question

[the hat]

Yeah I had too trim the clip that would normally hold the front flexible hose as it hit the standard backboxes

Only a few jobs left as I was at the car again today so I gave the inner arches a good coat of stonechip and then I gave the inner arches a good coat of black chip resistant paint

The front driver side suspension and brakes are all Rebuilt but I still
Need front brake flexible hoses ad make up the short brake pipe that goes between the flexible hose and the caliper

Only jobs left are too rebuild the passenger front suspension and brakes fit a new
Master cylinder and bleed the brakes fit new wipers and a couple of bulbs

I also need too fit a new alternator belt then it\'s go time

Ok so im so close too having this finished it\'s scary all I need is 1x front flexible hose

I set about it again today and replaced the viscous fan



Then I needed a new alt belt so I wiped off my dual pulley and it\'s belts from my old fc and swapped it over but I\'m still running the air pump



Then it was time too finish fitting all the suspension and brakes minus the above mentioned hose I also had too make new short pipe sections for between the calipers and hoses





Then I fitted a blank to the brake pipe where tree was a hose missing and decided too rebuild the master cylinder as it has been weeping out the back and over the servo it was very simple all I needed too replace was two o rings



Then I bled the brakes that are connected so far and let the rear down and tbh I think the ride height is perfect I just need some coilovers for the front or find some other option that will work

Also I love the reg honestly I think it might be too much of a coincidence

[turbointhebrain]

Dnt worry I will be the ginuea pig unless I find some coilovers for the front Oh wait I just got a full set of apex coilovers for an s14 for free so I guess it\'s time too
Make the fronts work lol
