Cheers hopefully i can start on the rust as my MOT is in a few months and i dont think i can get a trailer by then, so will need to keep it on the road for difty days

fatdave · 04-04-2008, 18:57

I am gonna get a trailer as well live so fare away from any drift avents so is a pain if it brakes down.

spin-king · 04-04-2008, 19:42

Really good read that.

Seen the car at the jan pod day wasnt fussed on the bumper thought that was all you fitted SORRY BAD ME LOL.

After reading all this and seeing all the work you have done you can punch me in the face on weds lol.

how have you found the arms since fitting them did the same thing with my old car (drifted into a kirb WINNER) Fitted fully adjust arms afterwards but never got the car back on the road.

Keep up the good work matey top job.

xborninthefightx · 04-04-2008, 21:25

Lol, The thing is that i done all the arms, ARBs and coilovers, and all of that made it into a totally different car. I just need to keep an eye on the arms with the rose joints and keep them greased and stuff

xborninthefightx · 06-04-2008, 22:30

Well didnt really get much done this weekend

, but did get a battery (finally) for the FMIC, will be starting that after the Pod day. Oh the other one is for my brothers S14a, so got a little bit of a discount

.

The rear bumper is going to take some time to fit so didnt really have the time this weekend, and there will be a bit of a gap there

.

Also the sides will need a lot of work, got a heat gun to try and bend it a little, just have to be careful not to over do it and freck the fb up.

Also got those shitty front tyres changed so they are not bold

. Hopefully i will start getting rid of all that bad understeer with the welded diff.

I took it out today for the first time with the diff welded, and as soon as i started moving i could feel the wheels sort of skidding a little. Got out of the drive and the steering wheel started to pull itself to the left (really badly).
I got really worried that it wasnt something with any of the arms, went back straight away, and my dad noticed that the rear tyres that were one it, one was 195/55 and the other was 195/60 and as the diff was locked you could notice it really badly as before with the open diff it only pulled to one side just slightly. Just to let you know not to do silly things like me and not double check which size tyres you put one

.
Had a good tidy out in the garage today and got more space which is good, as it is lacking that a lot.
Thats about it for now, all ready for Wednesday

jdmash · 12-04-2008, 17:30

xborninthefightx · 12-04-2008, 23:45

Cheers, nice to meet you too mate, like the third picy but i really need to lower it a bit, its too high. But it does make it a right pain to work on in the small garage.

spin-king · 13-04-2008, 00:02

xborninthefightx · 13-04-2008, 14:40

Cool, will let you know as im in the process of getting some so will see.

SVTuner · 13-04-2008, 16:29

good luck with the project!! do you have plans for engine mods?
and is the car gonna be re-sprayed? grtz SVT

xborninthefightx · 13-04-2008, 20:10

Engine mods will be the normal CA stage 2 stuff nothing really special, but may see to go a little higher if i have the money. I would like to do a full re-spray but dont have a compressor thats big enough for that, will try and sort something out.

skyprince · 13-04-2008, 22:49

HI,m80!
well made a difference with the diff on wednesday..............

made you a totaly different drifter,you did look good out there fair play mate keep up the good work!

C u @ th next 1...dude

xborninthefightx · 14-04-2008, 21:24

Yeah what i difference that diff made, i was having my ass fallen out of the seat throughout most of the day

. Would like to sort out the alignment and lower it now and see if it makes a difference. Will deffo see you there.

Oh got these the other day... a boot thats nearly finished, but all the hard work has been done.

and this tyre changing thing which is ok, not the best but does help in ways.

jayz · 15-04-2008, 20:30

hello matey..

Dele-Himself · 15-04-2008, 22:03
