Just got my car insured again, was gonna wait it out until spring, but couldn't bear it without her

Hopefully updates gonna start coming again in a few weeks time.

So! I finally got around to working on my baby again!! From the day that I fitted the bucket seat, I was constantly unhappy with the seating position. The seat was too upright. The steering wheel was too far away....
So I decided to get it sorted.

First off, a nice pretty OMP wheel



The bride rails that I had before, were chopped down and fitted with some side mounts



I nearly went down the route of mounting the seat without sliders....but couldnt bare the thought of not having the adjustability

So this is my new home



Next....remove these excuses for coilovers



And, in go the HSD's



K-Sports used to bottom out on every second bump. Not sure what the spring rates were on those. But the new 12/12 setup sounds good to me.

Thats all for now. More to come in the next few days.

Looking good, love this car, probably what mine would be like if I hadn't of gone the way I have.

[Mickymoe]

im sure i saw this today near essex (a127) on a driveway without a rear number plate.

[peter0991]

I nearly crapped myself! Had to run outside to check if the car was still there

[twiglett-RS200]

it was absolutely identical.
legana bumper, the same wheels and white.

[natune]

engine bay looks awesome! how are you finding the 12/12 springs? sounds pretty stiff!

[peter0991]

They are actually 12 front 10 rears. But they are very nice!!! The car feels much more solid. Havent taken it for a proper test yet tho. But its not as harsh as you may think.

[peter0991]

So I went out to test the new suspension last night and got a little too carried away Had an encounter with a curb and threw my tracking out and cracked a rim.

S14 wheel to the rescue!



Since I am still waiting for a few parts to arrive, I had to occupy myself somehow.

Like this



Primed



Not a performance mod, but should keep the interior nice and neat

[ISred02]

Nice dude! Is that a universal gauge cluster or an original? Nicely moulded into vents

[peter0991]

I picked the cheapest one off ebay and chopped it up to make fit. Think it was for an impreza.

[peter0991]

Just a few more things.

25mm RCA's



6mm rack spacers -> 3.5 turns lock to lock

[peter0991]

Took me a while , but here is the end result



Looking a bit sorry for herself



And finally ready to come out



Lets see what Pembrey has in store for us
