Learnt a few things about the car, like the box is shite, needs an oil cooler, arches need modding more and more and more for clearance, and the car has fricking MENTAL steering lock, ie more than you ever need really...
Since then I was planning on doing the Skyline only DWYB day the other day, but got 100m down the road before I headed back as was a dodgy knocking/clicking noise from the rear offside wheel.
Didnt have time to check it at the time as was late, so went without my car
Sounded like a CV joint, but checked today, LOOSE WHEELNUTS! They keep fricking undoing! Alloy ones suck dog cock! They being removed ASAP.
Flared the rear arches LOADS today, like over an inch i think, so much so i almost need spacers again, lol.
Still rubs at the rear on 18s with big bumps tho! Im wondering if its rubbing on the inside, tho ive not spotted anything?
No pics yet, but ill do some, looks good.
Main thing is PAINT! The car had tons of paint missing on almost every panel from drift damage lately, doors, bumpers, everywhere, and with spangly purple metalflake thats not exactly summat thats easy to fix.
First thoughts were let it get totally and utterly fricked then respray whole car in a less hard to fix colour.
BUT!
Local paint place to the rescue! Gave them my filler flap to paint match with, wasnt expecting much back, esp not the metalflake, just thought theyd get the purple shade right, but lo and behold they made me 5 rattlecans full of paint thats fricking bob on!
I went round the car today touching up all the paint (there was a LOT of white where the purple had been smashed off by cones, fences, tyres, flaring the arches, etc) and the car looks fricking badass now, WAY better condition than even when I first bought it
Ill take some pics this week, but im well happy
Only thing else to add is on way home from the last DWYB i thought it got a missfire a little, and a test drive today confirmed it
Its noticable at very light throttle and full throttle where it seems to stutter, so probably electronic, but not sure, will soon find out
