so peeps been a while since i did something constructive

Have the rear end back together somewhat. Ran out of light to get the brakes hooked up and the driveshaft. but the diff itself is back together, all painted and shiny some



also decided on these....



really REALLY pissed of with the supplier driftshop. Basically the price is good, the quality seems fine etc etc. Then the fucktard takes a week to even get the into a box for shipping. Then, as u can clearly see there are 6 pieces. He sees fit to only use 3 bags of bubble wrap. So now they are all scratched to fuck. They are supposed to be powdercoated...so heavy duty. And the scratches and knocks go right to the metal. Incompetant fucktard.

BUT.... got them in...





followed by the diff...



That pretty much all i managed. The diff has a 4.8 2way installed now, so really keen to see how that changes the feeling of the car. The adjustable arms are rose jointed at both ends on the top arms. I know this isnt the best result and im looking at having the drivers top body mount changed for a custom rubber bush.... will see what happens

Gave my whitline adjustable panhard a coat of black, then scratched fuck out of it putting it in

On the happiest of notes.... these arrived





16x8 +10 not the most sik fit wheels out but im a huge fan fitment wise they are gonna be perfect!!!!! well only checked the rear but...



fitment with 195 45 16 should be spot on thats with a 25mm spacer on the rear. With the s13 in te front i have a extra 35mm so should sit like a set of -15 on the front

sorted out my coilover issues i think. only need a test drive to have my theories finally sorted so far everything seeems to be working. Basically during th annual, the rear coilovers with agx were set to 8. The hardest setting they have. With the amount of travel the coilover setup allowed me at the height i wanted the car - ie really fuckin low... well yeah the travel in the shock was about 30mm. So during the spirited driving of the annual, her first real step out, she was bottoming out on the allow spacer ussed at the top to keep the springs located.

Well with some creative thinking and a little playing around, i now have trd blue 8 way adjustable coilovers. Set at 2 they are harder than the agx on 8, i have had the locator allow hat machined down 35 mm and the body of the shock is 15 mm shorter than the agx. This gives me a total of 50mm EXTRA STROKE for a case of xxxx . So at the same height the car was, basically the lowest point available on the t3 coilovers, i have an extra 500 of stroke for a total of 80 odd mm travel, AND i can go about 25mm lower if i really get the itch....i know it will handle like shit but im a ricer at heart

nah i doubt i will go much lower....was happy with the height , just needed the extra stroke to make it work. With the removal of the spring seats, i have an extra 30mm before the diff hits the bumpstops too

The sad part about this post is as hot as the wheels are, and im busting to get them on, anna bought them for my 30th bday awsome chickie she is BUT its not for a while........









































not till june actually. She is gonna make me wait till then appaarently to wear the new shoes....... Oh wels i have some time to wear her down i think

Wanted the car back together to do sa beginers day down at archy, but missed it hopefully get my shit sorted for the stadium drift beginners....

Also in late breaking news might be procuring a discbrake conversion for the rear end... depends on the xmas bonus

all loves people and a merry christmas to you all. Hopefully santie is nice to all of you wanderful people
