Got a bit more done to the R32 today. I had already dropped the R32 rear axle out of it and cleaned and painted the S14 rear subframe I got hold of to fit in it. I also fitted offset solid bushes that also mount the rear subframe flush with body.

While the rear axle was out I decided to Waxoyl the whole underside of the car and under all the 4 arches. The shell is very clean and there is no rust but I would like to keep it that way! I cleaned off any heavy dirt and gave it a good coating!

I have also got the bare S14 subframe mounted in the car, I wanted to do this then build it up in the car as with the offset bushes I thought it might be a little tricky to fit. It fitted pretty easy in the end just requiring a small bracket on the rear of the frame to be cut off to stop it fouling the R32 fuel tank.

I didn't get any pics but will try to get some next time I am in the workshop.

S14 rear subframe is complete and in:



Fitted it with offset solid bushes that also flush fit the subframe against the floor to allow for some roll centre correction. I have also fitted DW polybushes to the lower arms and hubs and solid diff bushes. I used all the adjustable arms I already had fitted but got some DW toe arms which are obviously alot beefer than the old R32 Hicas arms.

As the S14 rear subframe is wider it should make the car more stable at high speeds and due to the different mounting of the bottom arms should also offer more traction.

Not even sure what to do next but think I may start on modding the front suspension set up for better steering.

Not been making much progress in the last few days as I have bought another R32 that I am breaking.

I want to start getting the SR in an wired but I have a few jobs to do to that first. I also want to paint the bay before it goes in so I am gonna have to decide what colour the car is to be.

I was almost dead set on black but am considering other colours at the mo, maybe blue?

Really struggling on a paint colour choice at the moment:

Some inspiration:



















ARRGHH! I can't decide!

I like the light blue colour with the A1 sunviser its different
Im having the same problem myself with my PS13 and i dont really want to go down the safe option of white or even black i want something that will stand out

i also think a blue colour like the lead car in this or the colour of the r32 at the back this photo.
