    Default Clays MA61

    well here my ma61.

    not many plans for it. as silly as it sounds i bought it to tow my 86 around...
    15x9 rota sr's
    rebuilt steering rack
    shifter rebuild kit.
    rear swaybar
    strut brace.
    s13 tops
    mabey lob 1/2 a coil out.
    few bushes here and there
    drive the shit out of it!

    currently garaged due to the steering rack leaking.



    door card put on




    this is what the shifter looked like when i pulled it out. the shifter was fucked! more than 6'' of play.

    s13 strut brace i found in the shed? need to redrill holes

    my brother gave me these too. positioned the right way around they will give me alittle bit of camber and castor by the look of it they're from some s13 HSD coilys

    rear sway bar !!!


    mass props to Andrew (assassins1000) to getting me this rack kit from the states.


    more when ive finished tea...

    yeah its pretty dirty... haven't had a chance to take it around the the shed to clean it yet due to pissing out fluid everywhere.
    any tips on cleaning seats anyone?

    i havn't fitted up the brace or tops yet. there pretty close, if you had to file them it would be like 1mm or somthing.

    **and if a mod stumbles in here can you change the heading to clays ma61?

    Hire a steamcleaner for the seats or take 'em out and get them done.

    u could redrill the strut tower to suit the s13 tops, they will bolt in, can get adj ones at a later stage. the strutbrace covers the the original holes and no one knows better

    yeah i think they'll be alright. its just as easy to redrill the strut brace.
    i'd rather avoid doing shit like that. i've known of people drilling hole in their parcel shelves and basically having the car written off when going through a roadworthy...

    im happy enough to just to run "castor tops" if i want to put adjustable s13 ones in.

    well.

    finished up rebuilding my rack.
    all went pretty smoothley. not much to it really. its heaps heaps tight though?






    then i procceded to pull it out on the weekend and wash it ready for rego.
    i then noticed that the was an extra 30mm track on one side! so i jacked it up on the road and had a look around.
    this is what i found:
    good side


    the bad


    so i thought easy! ill straighten the bracket and see what happens...
    now the bolt hole is about 20mm out on the lca mount.
    should of just left it. so its now got an 8mm bolt in it so i could drive it round the back again




    so things i need for rego:

    new crossmember
    lca ball joints
    lca bushes
    castor rod bushes
    t3 steering arms
    t3 tie rod ends
    swaybar bushes
    rear bushes
    steering wheel

    same colour as mine, lookin good yo. what kind ofr torque wrench did you use when assembling the rack? from memory torques need to be very low so i hope you haven't overtorqued shit, did you replace the guide for the bar? if you've done that and not re-torque'd the nuts thta could explain the tightness
