Yes, its a good thing i rekon.

looks damn clean, jealous.

[MountainRunner]

factory fresh!

[MX73Howie]

yeah, got it off a elderly lady,

needs a new clutch, not toatally buggered yet, but it needs one,

but yeah, the gearbox is still tight, engine runs perfect, no lean spots/miss's etc.

getting an exhaust system very soon,

[lewa]

fuck off "howie" t18's are gay

yeah doesn't sound the same!

shes mint mate, will be ideal when you get her all ready to rock and slide!

[floody31]

Good luck with it Howie.

Something around 13/14x7" 0 offset will be ideal, as you say in the Northern provinces. Want to buy a set of series 2 struts? I have a set...but they're at Justins...lol

Also mine would hardly move under its own power due to clutch slip but we fiddled the adjustment and she's apples now, could be all you need.

[tom210]

mmm, t18, we can have t18 races now :P

[MX73Howie]

Carnt afford much yet, as i just paid for rego, insurance and headunit, and still have to buy some speakers,
but ill see how i go,
will probly just cut the springs in what i have and see how that goes for a while, just for now,
but yeah clutch might need some adjustment,


haha yes tom we can,

-Howie

[ae71]

Thanks GNM. :)

[Antdragonist]

this car is officially GNM backed

[MX73Howie]

Just a little update.

finally got around taking pictures with the new suspension in it,
needs a coil or two out of the rear,
then should be pretty sweet (y) ^_^
may not look low to you, but the main thing is that it rides stiff and has handles great

Hey mate, looks tops! How many coils did you take off the front? ive got t18 struts for my ke70 and your's is sitting a very nice height, lol. Thanks

2 coils off the front standard t-18 springs,

thanks for the possitive comments,

don't some fix's to it,

replaced all the cooling hose's
replaced a gasket on the cooling plate on the intake manifold,
added a open airfilter, and a breather for the cam cover were the polution gear went,

-Howie
