See yours looks lower than mine on rear

Next week i'm off and going to drop the front,you reckon i can just undo the top bolt and be able to take springs out that way? So i don't have to take bottom two bolts out and knock camber out.

Should be able too if you get the compressors on there though, otherwise you will have a slight problem as you probably won't have a face left

^No, its got coilovers, they wont be tight, plus, you undo the bolt before jacking up the car.

TBH tho dan I'm not sure, I didn't look at mine.

I think yours is lower on the rear when mine isnt full of shit

What I'm thinking is,hopefully undo the the top bolt,jack the car up and push the leg down and take the small spring out that way so it's less hastle.

Might be a right squeeze though,I'll let you know how I get on.

Also will it affect the ride,more bouncy without the stiff little spring in?

Might make it a bit harder, Not sure. The little springs should be fairly weak anyway.

Now Chris's car is done, I've spent the morning cleaning the car, sealed the wheels, Blacked the plastics, cleaned the glass, polish and waxed the car and a few other bits, Love it when its clean.

Had to take it out for some pics....





Next weekend I'll be working on the bay again

Plain rear plate (stuck on) would tidy up rear end nicely.

Not sure I like the black bonnet either if I'm honest.

Looks tidy though, and white speedlines suit it well (Need centre cap badges though!)

Cheers guys.

Centre cap badges are finally on their way

I want new plates front and rear, Plain ones and they would get stuck on, But keep spending money elsewhere.
May order some tomorrow though lol

Black bonnet is a love/hate thing, I would rather spend the money elsewhere so I'll probs leave it, It looks mean I think lol

I'm same Alex,bonnets letting it down imo.

Everywhere else looks sweet and very clean,the white speedlines suit it.

What's with the little red hand on the boot aswell?

I would guess reflector to make it legal as the rear lights don't have them

You are correct, Had bother about em so it keeps it legal.

Might have another little update tomorrow, In the middle of changing the brake fluid and fitting front braided hoses.

Not a amazing update at all, but...

I've decided to keep the car, I had thought about selling it the end of the month if you didn't know.

This means it will be coming off the road when the tax runs out, It won't be returning to the road this year (Unless I get bored of the 12volt) but It won't be staying the same. I've got a lot of plans for it, As for what they are, you'll have to wait and find out.

Mini update part is I've changed the fluid after Chris boiled it on track and ruined the nice pedal feel I had , Using 5.1 stuff, I don't know if its any better yet as I need to replace one of the rear brake cylinders. Have also finally fitted braided front hoses I've had sat around since I broke my nova ages ago, Haven't fitted rears for a good reason
