getn there now boss !

Slowly but surely.....

[ste]

got the last of my replacement exhaust gaskets there the other day, manifold gasket was 42euro from nissan and decat gasket was 8euro off ebay


at fermoy i picked up the last of the bits needed to get my cars suspension set up off gem at a great price



Tein inner and outer steering arms already fitted with spacer so should improve lock a bit



had no work today so went to cavan to do a few bits on the car, got more done than expected. I was weary bout doing rear subframe myself as i haven a clue bout mechanics but got stuck in.. took 5hrs but i was alone and hadn a clue wat i was at...

just lifted car with trucks tail lift to get height on the axle stands for more room to work


i previously asked how to remove the subframe and few lads mentioned havin to use a 32 socket on hubs but the way i done it was

remove exhaust from cat back, remove coilovers,remove arb, remove calipers and tie them up outta the way, undo diff from prop shaft, undo half shafts, drop the diff, undo the 4 nuts holding frame up and drop frame, then remove all arms and transfer hubs still attached to wishbones half shafts etc to the new sub frame

WILL THAT BE OK???

the 2 frames side by side


and all stuff transfered waitin to go back in





also picked up these bomex mirrors off gemat the wknd just blew over one with a coat of black spray to see how they'd look will do properly soon, i like them anyways
