    Hey no updates for a while as i have been slowly making the 540 look alot less cool its now missing its shadowline which has been replaced with painted chrome stuff and the front sport bumper is gone to be replaced with a repaired smashed one. the rear bumper is next to go to get replaced with a broken/fixed example. it also has standard headlights with orange indicators. basically i took away its cool looks but it still goes like F...,

    SO i have been massing the bits i need to make this a skid car and it all started today.

    Today i fitted the front coilovers and my fancy new hubs which have been machined down so i can fit all the cool wheels i have.

    NOt many pics as i forgot but you get the idea.

    coilover and machined hub also added new top mounts all round.

    Front ride height there is still 20mm to go down if i need too
    [​IMG]
    The rear height for refrence as they are 2morrows job
    [​IMG]


    I think im gonna run a 10mm spacer up front and space the hub out slightly to get some lovely camber up front also a little arch roll to be safe.

    2morrow i need to finish getting the diff out for welding add rear coilovers and space the rear hubs out to remove the camber on the rear so i can make awesome amount of smokes. the stick all back togeather and try not to get arrested on the way home.

    MASSIVE THANKS TO CHIZFAB FOR LETTING ME USE HIS SHIT

    Good choice:thumbs: Rip the cats out and the airbox restrictor and itl fly:thumbs:

    There is a few bits i could do with for mine if your selling:thumbs: Start with reversing sensor.

    What you doing for diff? Mine skids ok in the wet but no chance in the dry, also remembering to turn of the traction control is a pain(removing one of the ABS sensors will disable it thogh)

    Also, if your welding your diff, could you think about getting an auto one and selling me your manual ratio diff?

    Also, would you want to PX the head lights?
