Tried shitty cheapo spec adjustable C- spanner.... May aswell have had a wank...
Got a lend of tien C spanners... Still no luck....
They where oiled up, and no luck so I left it and went to the front..
No bother with the front. Was handy, but I have a question... How low is too low?... im the width of a wheel nut from slammed to the max. I dont drive the car on the road, but when I look at the passo side arch, there is a scary looking lip that look like it would just slice the tyre if I went hard over a big bump.
Its about 2cm from the tyre at rest... Can someone let me know what the criac is?.. Please, thanks.
Went back and busted my hands but I lowered one of the rears. Happy out.
To do list...
Get drivers side JIC magic coilover.... to replace the single tien one, which is completely fucked.
Get driverside seat rail.
Get Kouki indicator stalk.
Get Rear strut brace.
Get Kouki side skirts.
Gaskets are all blowing.. get downpipe + de-cat
Havent done much at all...
Picked up Chuki skirts and 180 rear + G-Grow rear lip... Only half fitted atm...
(Bear in mind how shit the rear 'get me homes' are.. have rims sorted :cool:

Rails really are the killer!!!!

i no how it feels to be building a drift car then run out of money and so on aswel lad, not nice... u dont need all them bucket seats surly? :O haha
The kit looks much better lad, with the lip on the inner rear arch you can fold it back up into the arch by beating it back up,give you more lowness without scrubbing, if u go wider wheels id roll the arches.
Arches are rolled, just not flared.. Brian at Driftkits has an arch roller, and he knows what he is at, so hopefully he can show me and let me flare the arches.
Fitment should be pretty nice with simply a few slip on spacers. :)
Car is currently sitting like this.. I threw 200sx wings up to a friends bodyshop and got them to throw on some 326, so... makes things a bit better.. I have Chuki skirts there to go on, and I think it will do the whole car massive favours, looks like scrap at the minute and that's what all friends and family think it is.. So, not really doing myself any favours.

Bit of a change from last Sakura season!
http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1094505_n.jpg
Anyways.. Back to the present. !...
With rear Coilovers back up to full height, as I messed with the preload rather than threading the coilover down into the bottom of the cup the first time I did it...
Still haven't been able to free up the locking collar as its stuck. Spent a few evenings at it, and with the standard camber arm in the way I couldn't get a proper go at the collar, so I messed about to no joy.. Next time shall i drop out the bolt at the bottom of the coilover and let the hub assembly drop away from it? To get a go at the Collar which is currently behind the camber arm?...

I only had the slip on as a mess around checking out what it would size up like.. Its flush enough with out it anyways.
This arrived...
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...78775189_n.jpg
These arrive after ordering them in SEPTEMBER! 8 Months after I paid for them... !

My tacho doesn't work, it may be linked to the 'keyless' entry system.. I don't know, I've given up and bought an Auto Gauge Tacho for like £13.
-I've fitted the stitched sparco with the DIY rail, that sits high and at a slope....
-Need to get a grinder to throw the wire brush on to finish the inside before I paint it... thinking dark grey with metalflake..
Can anyone explain the sills on an s13 to me? water gets to where the sill covers are and there are square holes there, and water might be getting into the sill... Is that how it goes? How can I best protect?
Sorta gets an idea of what's going on...
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...37364545_n.jpg
I got my Chuki sideskirts back and there..
If anyone wants a set Driftkits.eu have now made a mould of them and its all about the quality of the mould lads. So you know yourself..

Also got sorted with a few choice stickers from Killian. -Thanks lad!
And then I grabbed a shitty shot as I was messing around with the car. Sorting out water seals around the lights. Small wee job.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...08791418_n.jpg
Getting a lend of a grinder (have the wire brush attachment) to prep the boot and floors where the sound deadening used to be, then I've other bits like the tacho to fire in, and then tidy it up again..
Going to go dark grey with metalflake if possible for the interior maybe.. Ill see how it goes..
Wanted: Front Coilovers. - Downpipe.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...19073037_n.jpg
Took out the rear coilovers, just as easy to do both then at the same time.
Ended up freeing the cups first rather then the locking collar, but I got them free soon after.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...55533774_n.jpg
I dont know, but how tight is 'tight' in regards to the bolt that holds the bottom of the coilover in place? I just put the disc and nut back on and tightened it up as much as I could.. That sound alright? Is it that straight forward?

This is them done. I wound the cup to the max, and then took three rotations off it to give it a little bit of room. Is it ok to do that? I just pulled them out of the car and then set up an equal preload and then matched the cups on both of them. Is that ok?
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...84839448_n.jpg
I had my own idea for a stcker and got it made, and this is how it turned out...
Could sell more to go towards petrol ;)
