The past couple of weeks i made a big step with the car. Coilovers. New ones at that, another £200 and i could have bought another one of these haha
Anyways....
Pulled the old suspension off the back which came off easily than i thought, guessing these sleeves hadnt been on long. Here is what someone has put on the car by choice. What the hell were they thinking?!
Ok, didnt get any pictures of the fronts, basically exactly the same but with the 'adjustable' collars still on the strut. I HATE SLEEVES.
Anyways as i went to fit the coilover we hit a wall, front forks were wrong. Damn. Couple of phonecalls later and i was on my way down a mates to get some off Matt which im guessing were off his old vt.
That means whoever has had the car has purposely took the suspension off it and replaced it with sleeves on eg struts etc. Its the whole story throughout the time i have had the car, seems everytime it was sold on, something extra was removed beforehand.
Also went to the local tyre place and got some tyres switched round so i could fit the Rotas, i seem to have lost one of my spigot rings though which im not happy about!
Heres some pictures i have of how it sits now...
Next job, Exhaust!
