Its about time say's you!

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!


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...


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...

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.



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.

[serious tom]

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.



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?

[serious tom]

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






I am working all the hours I can in order to make Mondello next Saturday, but with Deadmau5 on Thursday and off Friday I will have my work cut out for me.

TO DO LIST

-Moar Petrol
-Change Decat gaskets
-Downpipe if money is still there
-Anyone have a cheaaap harness for the passo side?

Already have 4 pairs of tyres at least, so I'm sorted that way. fingers crossed I can make this work... Still have to sort a lift.
