With the engine bay pretty much done the fuel pump was next to be sorted.
Had a spare Walbro pump from the corolla that did the job with some different fittings, the pressure regulator for the old motor sat back here too so thats gone in the bin as well now
Suspension was top of the list this week, I would have loved to fit some coilovers but the budget just wouldn't stretch to it so a quick search around landed this lot at my door for half the price,
Jamex 60mm kit
Starting at the back, with the standard stuff removed I checked the wheel fitment,
Just catching on the inner lip, easily solved
On to the front end, I got the larger front struts and brakes from a 320 touring. Thanks to Gem once again, some boyo !!!
Stripped and cleaned everything up, fitted the new inserts and springs.
You can also see the fixed camber plates I got a while ago for cheaps on the bay. Give you about 3 degrees more camber and should help with wheel fitmnet
Should have brakes and clutch bled tomorrow, if I get the few bits of body work done that are on the list it'll be ready for action, hopefully !

Got it down on the ground now, first thing to do was paint the chrome trim around the windows.
Bling has no place on this car
Had to improvise with some masking paper, they're good for something !
The handbrake needed sorting to disable the button and make it usable.
Super drifty handbrake magic screw
Made some mods to the front bumper area for more airflow, fitted the worst quality fiber glass 318is style splitter and took it down to Punchestown today since I was teaching at the Prodrift Academy .
It ran mint, managed a few laps of the Academy track and drove back home. Apart from needing another 2 gears with the diff thats in it Im well happy.
I'll get some pics tomorrow of the finished article !
