this is what it looked like when i picked it up

tryed my new wheels and a call to archenemy is in order

rear

front

removed the bgw
but im off to little knockes in a bit to get a quote for repairs and maybe a sexy kit

 

[Dan_Harris]

nice car, seen this one advertised on PH for a while

 

[JEZ 8553]

I really think youll need to have some kind of widebody kit to fit those wheels but will look awesome if you do so!!

 

[sx-si]

well after id tryed them i think i can get arch enemy to roll the rears 15mm and looks like im going to need front wings and i will proablly have a kit and have it sprayed

after dicking about trying to fit a profec b spec2 today as it had a bleed valve on it and was running 1bar+ seeing as the standard boost gauge only shows 1bar i thought id lower the boost till i have a better gauge and it was spiking anyway

i found the following things to fix today
front pads, disks and o/s/f tie rod end are fubar

so looks like im going to have to fit my front big break conversion and maybe tein rods and ends to get it driveable ill get the profec b wired intomorrow too

 

[slammedmind]

looks good si, what are you doing with the old wedsports that are on there?

Nice update


Hi mate - how did you get on with fitting the geo knuckles?? Craig sent me a link to the DW geo knuckles and I'm hoping they can help me lower the fronts by a few more mm's. Only concern is will this work with Tein Super Streets that I have? Think they need to actually go high enough so it's not too low lol. We're they ok to fit?

Also have you sold off your 2871r as I'm on the hunt for one!!


Cheers

 

[sx-si]

didnt buy the 71r in the end but was getting a custom one made in usa
as for the knuckles dw are having alot of teething issues with them

let me put it this way i started working on the car at 6pm at db automotive @ pod
didnt finish fitting the geo knuckles till 10'30am without sleep and ive been building s14's and 15s for 5years now
also rears havent been fitted as i need dw to resolve a issue with a drum handbreak

 

[LuPix_S15]

Fook me - that sounds like a biatch to fit!!! Good job I was holding out and this would be later in the year mod

 

[sx-si]

my new turbo turned up yesterday

420 + ps before 4k on a sr20det pow pow

 

[LuPix_S15]
