I know right! Can't wait to put her on its roof now! :P I thought about it alot and it'd be a sickener when a driveshaft breaks and flaps around and makes shit of everything but sure shit happens when you party naked and that

[decobyrne106]

So here goes update time. Got little time to update between working and working on the car till late hours but got a little time tonight because i can't move on till i get more parts.

Rear end of the chassis got cleaned, wire brushed any old underseal that was cracking or had cracks in it and stone chipped the underside and arches, made sure to get into all the awkward areas




Sprayed the heat shield and brake line shield and it looks the part now!

Bolted up the subframe, all the washers for the mounts got the same treatment including the nuts in blue and matt black


Painted the brake callipers and put them on. Different blue to the rest of it its the same blue my rocker cover is painted etc.


Went ahead and touched up the silver rear end after i trimmed away a bit more of it and everything is nice and tidy again so slapped on the bumper, rear is pretty much done!

With the rear end done its time to move forwards, the front of the car.
Took a trip to DI Motorsport where i picked up my modded front subframe with the steering rack now moved 25mm forward and my new Japspeed extra lock tension rods which are bad ass! Jay and the team have been nothing but brilliant people to get service from! After the gearbox issue in the past and propshaft and getting the whiteline anti roll bars from then they are still 100% so made so much sense to give them more service.


I got cracking at the subframe the next day, cleaned, wirebrushed and painted and painted the rack brackets.

Before that went in I had to put the new japspeed engine mounts in i got over christmas. Lovely job!


Assembled my front suspension on the ground just to get the idea of it, nice bit of education for meself anyway
What you see here is:
-The front subframe
-dw lca's which i also painted silver
-dw geomasters
-japspeed tie rods and ends
-And james spillane rack spacers which give the max the rack will give while still retaining all your threads! Brilliant quality highly recommended!

Ive decided i won't be using these rod ends and they will be up for sale soon!

[decobyrne106]

Last bit of work i got done was putting on the lca's and tension rods and hubs. Coilover lower cups needed grinding to mount to the geomasters which annoyed me a bit but regardless, got it done. Hadn't got the same colour yellow for the lower cups and i wasn't removing the original daiyama stickers so I faded in blue to them and looks exactly all it needed to be and it works so fine with me!


Powersteering lines also up and on.
Have to give great thanks to my buddy jj for getting me subframe mounting bolts in such short notice and going out of his way to do so. Cheers buddy!
So whats left to do now.
-Get power steering fluid
-Longer rack boots
-Fit lower cups and bolt suspension back up
-Put on hubs and discs
-Paint front callipers
-Get the car aligned
-Sort out exhaust from scraping
-Get rear spoiler on and stuck down
-Do the interior bits (more on that in due time)
-Just general here and there bits I can't think of right now
