soooo.... no bits actually fitted then?? lol

not jealous

YAWN

Finaly got round to fitting (trying to fit) some of my bits today.

Managed to fit passenger side driftworks bottom arms and tension rods along with my tein rod and rod ends bottom ball joing was a pain in the arse and well seezed so ended up taking the whole arms to kwick fit and having it heated and pressed out.
Also for some reason my rods and rod ends never came with a locking nut so got to find/source one from somwere.





Took me forever to do one side as i also needed stilsons and ball-joint splitter which i never had and good old halfraunds ripped me off with LOL.

The otherside was a nightmere and will need to go to a garage to be done as one of the last owners has rounded almost eveybolt off and i have no power at my garage to grind the buggers off.

Arms look good though FTW

Oh yeah forgot to mention the link bars for the anti-roll bars at the front are fooked so will need to replace them might aswell get white-lines while i am there.


Was hoping to have all the arms done and the rearsubframe off today but Judging by what has happened today and that i am off to get married and wont have time to work on it i prob wont be drifting at the pod on the 13th of sept its not worth taking a poorly car GUTTED.

Need to fix subframe
oil leak
over heating problem
tracking
rubbing at the front
Alignment
Oh and its now blowing from the elbow

....time to stop buying bits and use the money to pay someone to fit your current stocks

erm think i am already fitting parts stu

I know mate

..but you said it wasnt going too well. Maybe rather than buy more new bits, pay someone to fit what you already have bought

If i dont try i will not learn.

Need to get arb and a gasket for the turbo elbow but apart from that not buying anything for a while.

Well i say that

...what happened to the ones you bought off me??

they were sold when i broke the old red 200 for bits

My chargespeed Carbon bits arrived today.







Also my lexan rear screen too.

Should have my sil80 wings anytime soon.

likin the bonnet dude will look smart

Managed to get the arms off the drivers side was a nightmere yet again the ball-joint was seezed managed somhow to get the bottom arm off with mole grips and wacking a smaller socket on over the well rounded nut.

Once i got the arm off took the ball joing off using a very large and very heavy hammer thank god these arms havnt got any.





Need to sort the subframe out next and get all the front lined up correctly and get the covers for the tein rods were it meets the rack.

Good Stuff Tone, you're finally getting there.

I HATE working with suspension and I know how much of a barstard it can be lol

Lovin the carbon bits, must have set you back a bit of wedge??
