So midway through last year i swapped this gay Subaru for this sick as piece of shit hahaha. Dodgy as really, its certed for a 3tgte but had a 4k in it, everything pretty much slapped together, ran okay and sounded like a tractor.

Then everything together and sitting low in the back thanks to a full car on the trip back down to blenheim at the start of this year, blew the gearbox just after this photo in new plymouth so the rest of the drive was done in 4th.

Been a while, done a bit, not a lot.


Parted these lips off at work and have new lips arriving next week to make them 14x8.5 (roughly the same size lips as the backs.

Cars all sanded just straightening it out out as much as i can. got new doors and boot because I'm in blenheim for 10 more weeks so couldn't be bothered fluffing round with the rust on them. 


Picking up a shell soon to use for the shells bits of rust, need anything let me know.

hbyzwafs.3mi.jpgWell, she's seen sunlight again...


 


Back has spacers on just to match the front a bit more.. 


For my drive back to auckland soon I'm getting my mates Work Equip 03s sent down (14x7.5), the a3as just sit too far with no camber and i don't wana add camber until I'm back home, ran out of time down here.

Also got some C's Garage Knuckles. Should see better lock.


 


Made these at work too quite happy with the results.

Also added quite a bit of thread onto my castor rods. should help me a bit with that.


Slapped it all together, and am faaaacken stoked, nice amount of camber and some good track.


Today i bought some RA60 rack ends because they 30mm longer so now il be able to take it for a drive. ah excite.

Also just slammed the front nearly as low as i can go,


maybe have to be higher though because i don't even think the back can go that low.
