car's booked into the mechanics in three days time to get four new re002 tyres, alignment and suspension checked, rear engine mount and slotted rotors installed. can't wait to drive it XD

car is registered with its custom plates and has new wheels on it. waiting on the cash to replace the tyres, get the wheels aligned properly and rear suspension bushes done on one side so that it is safe to drive.... so tempting to drive it when it is on the road outside teasing me haha

all the carpet is out, threads have been repaired, front suspension and steering is all new and bolted onto the car, installed the new thermostat and flushed the cooling system, water pump was installed incorrectly so i'll have to do it again properly ...

... First and foremost to kill a box is tramping in the drivetrain. Its a tricky one to solve sometimes and its not necessarily caused by worn/soft suspension bushes and so-on. Ie:, I have a bad tramping problem with my Zed rear end Yet the bushes, bearings and suspension are all as new..........?? ...

... The idea of any strut bracing is to prevent the strut tops flexing right inwards/outwards by tying them together? This flexing is cause by high suspension loads from bump and cornering bending the strut towers causing undesireable geometry changes and loss of fine suspension (spring AND damper) ...

How do you stop those rear from hitting?

Hey guys, With the new motor and gearbox installed, it's looking like time to replace the blown Monroe Gas shocks that my ET rolls around on. I haven't been able to find anything definitive with a search, so I thought I might start this thread. I'm interested in some information regarding what parts...

Hi! White as snowball b11 van is very nice. Work out possible rust carefully. Is it difficult to do it street legal with e15et over there? Suspension is a kind of problem with increased power.

Is it difficult to do it street legal with e15et over there?

Suspension is a kind of problem with increased power. Does it have front stabilizer bar? I've planned lowering mine at some phase.

... when going straight since the accident, i had a closer look at the steering rack and i reckon i'll need to replace it too (pending what a suspension shop says). expensive hobby this!

... i want speaking of replacing, the rear shocks are shot, the passenger CV is problematic, the driver rear drum brake cylinder is leaking and some suspension bushes are screwed as well so it is going to be an expensive week :/
