pax600 · 03-03-2008, 16:53

corey keep on going i had too years of ppl telling me its a waist of time with a sierra and that came from some of the top uk drifters it doesnt matter if you cant run it on the road, track and show is all good you do it your way, i would put your car against an mx5 allday long one more thing i see you have stript out the car so it is light on the back with a ships anchor of an engine up front if you can lower the back end a bit more than the front it can help stop the engine wieght pulling you in to understeer

20sideways · 03-03-2008, 17:06

and no matter wat any1 on ere tells u jus remember james deane was 15 wen he won a round of the irish prodrift so age is nuthn 2do wit it, as long as uv got balls 2 throw a car sideways at 80mph then itl be no problem 2ya!!!

Corey_XR4I · 03-03-2008, 20:48

Pax i have Adjustables on so i will get to that tomorrow or wednesday after college thanx for that

20sideways - Thanx for that too and never knew he was only 15, must have had alot of practice or just natural talent, atm i do have a problem throwing me car sidways at 80+ because i only have 2 front brakes until i get these calipers and get ebrake sorted,

should have new filter and oil done tomorrow and a little more weight saved( getting hair cut)

thanx Corey

smallish progress but seems to have done a big difference...

Tick list:

Battery Charged (Tick)
viscus fan off ( needs soaked )
electric fan on ( go lined up but need the viscus off and rad)
PAS cooler and pipes fixed ( need a pipe bender off my m8 first but all ready)
new buckets it and on seirra runners ( having a few probs with them as i need to make some brackets for along the runners)
hopefully rear strutbrace
suspension lowered at back and stiffened (Tick)
Take diff off (soaked in wd40)
change wheels over (managed to get 3 of the off but other needs locking nut, once found it

)
change oils and fluids (Tick)

Well me and my m8 came straight from making Screwdrivers at college

to working with my car and here is the progress pics........

56K WARNING AND LOTS TOOO

ALSO DECENT PICS THIS TIME NOT CAMERA PHONE JOBBY

Here is where we started.............

Konis off, twisted clockwise six times, put them back on and a little drop and a little camber fair do's but i wanted more, so back up again, twisted clockwise another six times and that went on 3 or 4 times until i ended up with this:

Dirty Konis:

Cleanish Konis:

This needs to come off:

And this on:

And here is my camber now:

Also lots of pics of random stuff and i also found out the diff thats on has a leak so its a good thing its coming off

Once again thanks to tony helping me otherwise it would have took twice aslong, only a 2 big jobs left and a few niggly bits

Corey

P.s more pics on way, just uploading

spin-king · 07-03-2008, 23:01

Corey_XR4I · 07-03-2008, 23:03

Cheers corey

Corey_XR4I · 07-03-2008, 23:54

the arms in which the rear suspsion and stuff go onto will soon be coming off to get rid of the surface rust and crap and will be sprayed the same colour as engine, same with suspension springs and other little things under car, not for fancy its just to clean it up abit as it will be a shame to let it get any worce

Tony_R32 · 08-03-2008, 21:17

well corey looks like we did a good job, i think so and cant wait till the next time am working on ya car coz i think its amazing so just gizza shout when your next working on it

Corey_XR4I · 08-03-2008, 23:39

Cheers m8 it will be soon lol

pedro came over and we quickly wired up the electric fan for a test and they are cool, so maybe tomorrow or wednesday after college will be next time to work on it, just need to get to 22nd but i doubt it now

as 1. dont have trailor 2. dont really have cash( yet i can get it tho) 3. quite abit to do to car 4. some bits cant get to me before 22nd to get fitted 5. still no joy with rear brakes 6.hense number 5 No handbrake still and i can probs count up to 100+ but i dont want to bore you lot

so all im going to do is keep it positive and keep working like i am attending the 22nd so atleast the car will be finnished soon.......ish:Wack:
