The red one

[Vivek]

Why would I? The blue one is a beautiful color and a late model.

BUT...We finished!! Woo that was a lot of work. All the pics suck because it was dark, but the difference is night and day. Rides so nice now. The springs were stock and the shocks did absolutely nothing. The bushings were all cracked and shitty. Now it's all fixed and god it's so awesome.
Few crappy pics:



First time on the ground (handbrake still on):

Ride height:

Lost a damn cap. PM me if you have one.


Also put on a couple bolts we were missing today. The driveshaft used to clunk on takeoff which is also now fixed (which is pretty awesome).

RS Rep's



Got H&R Sports and Bilstein sports (I think, hope they're not HD's) to go up front. Gonna put on some m3 rubber CABs at the same time. That'll be in a few weeks though.

Wai another vert?

[Vivek]

This is my dad's car. I started this thread when we spent a bit over a week on the rear suspension and I've just been updating every once in a while when something changes.

i'll have to coerce my little bro to get a vert once he can drive. so i can steal it

dumped verts are sexy. maybe ill get one and also do a chop top on the windshield :D

[Vivek]

Not even sure what happened. This fix, front suspension, and full custom exhaust coming this weekend.

[stamar]

nice. and that is brilliantrot?

[Vivek]

Yes it is. Pulled out the rear springs and shocks today, sold it all for a hundred bucks. Bilsteins and H&R Sports are going in all around.

In a dark picture it looks like zinnoberrot.

Did some stuff this weekend. Pulled all the front suspension (strut towers, control arms), got the old CAB's out and new CAB's in the lollis. Need to find a way to get the lollis with bushings pressed onto the control arms. Also need to order a diff rear cover gasket and tie rods. We'll finish it up next weekend.

Too lazy/tired to post pics ATM but they'll come soon.

freeze the lollis + grease = profit

[Vivek]

Have you done that before? Would it be better to freeze the control arms themselves or would that not help?

[Mr. Tasty]

yes, just the lolli's and they pressed in easy.

rubber shrinks more than metal, the metal would change minutely
