History:
ok now i've had the car for a couple of years, slowly building it up for a bit of fun.
bought it with a blown 16v, apart from that it was completely stock.
after a long think i decided to go 20v and got ant and dimitri at kaizen garage to
take care of that bit for me as they are quite good at what they do. this engine has been
an extremely strong engine and am very happy with it. first things done to my car apart
from motor was rebushing the WHOLE car front to rear, and putting in new rackends and
tie rod ends and balljoints. this made a HUGE difference to the car making it drive a lot
better. next thing on the list was making the coilovers. We first started by cutting the spring
plate off and cutting the strut leg down by 35mm. i got the spring seat and all the other goodies
and basically put it all together to make it work. quite a simple job actually. i have used a tender
spring to help keep my 8kg spring in place. i was still waiting on my rear springs to come so at
the time i just ran a very cut stocko shitty falcon spring to make do. the second i got my 6kg rear
springs they went straight in and i was very happy. the next thing bought was my whiteline
adjustable panhard rod and strut brace. every little mod made a nice difference to the car.
one of the biggest upgrades i've done was the swaybars. i had them custom built at 24mm front
and 22mm rear. the difference was bullshit that they made. the 6pt cage has been made exactly the
way i wanted it, tho its not complete, there is still more to be added onto it but it does the job quite
well for now. i will get some pics up of it when i can. the front section follows the roof lining along
the door and comes down to the dash, but unlike everyother shitty cage that goes around the dash,
a small section of the dash has been shaved to allow it to go down from the roof to the floor without
going AROUND the dash. its a very nice fit with minimal amount taken out of the dash. like i said i
will get some pics up at a later date to show you all.
