On the trailer, ready to go.

New home for the next couple of weeks.


Some better pics of the brake caliper mounts, pretty happy with how they came out.

Stripped the good struts out and slotted the old ones in for now.

Then shoved it in the corner until the struts have the springs seats cut off and I can dummy up the coilovers.

So got stuck into it today. Got the spring seats off and slipped on the coilovers, have the sleeves set about where they will be once the strut tubes are shortened by 50mm for the MR2 inserts.





Installed, looking a bit of a tight fit. Running 10 inch springs at 275lb, might need to go to an 8 inch spring and slightly heavier as it feels a little soft, other option is to go up to 25mm spacers from the 15mm on there to let the spring seat go down past the rim. Really need to get the proper strut inserts in their and check the amount of bump and rebound before I can go any further.



Chucked in the T3 camber plates as well, RCA's still to be fitted which I will do once I sort which LCA's I am going to run, Have KE70 or can use the 10mm longer TT132 ones.



So it is back in the corner of the shed until I get some more time to play with it, need to fit up front guards etc to get an idea of where it is sitting but I think it is around 40-50mm too high at the moment.

excellent blue .. love it !!!

Well second set of throttles have arrived, basically 5 days from Miami to delivery in Auckland. This set of throttles came with wiring and airbox so will help with designing the plate for the bottom of the new airbox.
Will be playing with suspension again this weekend, still trying to chase down a rear SW20 MR2 insert though.
