Long Time No Update

Anywayz

Had entire car re bushed with a Hardrace kit, very good Im happy cheer to James from ISON for doing the C U Next Tuesday of a Job

And attempted to fit:



However I need to get some brackets made up and maybe an ek9 lip so not sure.......well see not motivated at moment after tax might just take it some where it make it there problem

So Took the Car to Top1 (Would recommend will use again) as its about to hit 200,000

Had Cambelt, Water Pump, Heap of Gaskets, Thermostat and basic service done

Have also found out need to do:

Clutch Master and Slave as both are leaking - OEM Replacements
Replace Radiator hosing as badly perished - Purchased Misimoto
Same with ignition leads are perishing and one lead disintegrated on being removed - NGK or OEM
Rear Brake Pads shot - Purchased Stock
Sump Gasket is leaking - Baffle Purchased just need to obtain sump

Also got advised to get rear camber arms and to get my middle exhaust hanger fixed so exhaust doesn't rub on rear sway bar

Once all of the above is done will get some new tyres and hit the track again







Will book car back into TOP1 Monday to get last few things sorted before new tyres

[felixR]

Keep it up!

Tracked down a B16 sump, there is a huge difference between B16 and B18 sump

Took it out to see mark at Kustom Kraft today and he fitted up the baffle for me, if you need any fab work done hit Mark up: https://www.facebook.com/KustomKraftFabrication?fref=ts



Also brought a Ktuned shifter, was going to go fro the billet one, but John from JDMYard said the earlier version was more suited to everyday use so took his advise:



Car is going back to Top1 Friday to get everything fitted up and the few thing Dedy noticed that need fixing doen

Have also order a set of Re002's which should be ready next weeked

[justinspiderholden]

Its been a long time

But my Buddy club pads ate out the RDA rotors so fitted another set of RDA rotors and Acre Pads:



Got a mail order Box 1996 S80 from a Dc2R in New Zealand



Had a mate give it a tickle:



Got a clutch line to go with it:



Got some cutlery (fake spoon mirrors)



Did new rack boots and got an alignment:



Now just enjoying life

Next more power and more brakes

The Buddy Club coilovers were in the car for at least 5 years before I brought it I have owned the car for 8/9 years now and are getting very tired so the below were recently acquired:
