so i got this....


got my slave


and took these out of it


alot beter compared to standard sigma brakes.
also starion shocks are shorter by 25mm at least, springs also are smaller.


installed starion crap into wagon then it looked like this




may not look alot lower but it definately is. sill sits alot more even now. back is a bit low, real bumpy on whangarei roads. mite find different springs that lift it about 10-15mm. mite also try the dobis in the front see if it goes a tad lower.

also a new steering device and gear changing thingy


work equips

got sum 18s for my silvia but thought ild see what they look like on the wagon, i think theyre allrite but perfer heart wheels anyday


dude who had my heart wheels has had them for over a month and hasnt even started welding old holes soo they can get re-drilled so i have taken them to another guy to do the work and should be welded and sand blasted within two weeks hopefully.

for paint colours i have been sugested purple centre with silver lip which i think would actually look soo sweet, any other ideas?

[rb drifter]

update!

the good:
got heart wheels back on weekend all welded up. costed me a box of bourbon and box of steinlarger

the bad:
dude who was going to redrill them to 4x114.3 is off work for 5 weeks on acc so will have to wait or try find someone else to drill them.

oh and took it back for wof recheck and passed with flying colours!

[rb drifter]

heart wheels welded up


height difference from 323 springs to ke70 dobis



wof!

[rb drifter]

got heart wheels back from getting redrilled, bit of issue for the fronts though, 14x8 with negative offset, thinking about getting centres cut out and re welded to change offset. although these do fit mint on my sigma sedan as it runs s13 silvia front suspension.



back fit mint just have to run stretch tires. didnt really think a 14x10 would fit to be honest



also scored me a one piece driveshaft finally so no more kronic vibrations!!!! fucking gay 2 piece shit.


in other shit news, some lowlife douchebag stole my stereo, stereo suround trim and garage door opener. so if i find the theifing prick........


anyone got a wagon centre consol for deals by anychance? sedan ones and starion ones dont fit. ive already tried.

[rb drifter]

discovered it leaks oil and maybe fuel too, will add to the "to do" list along with everything else.

in good news i fixed the ride height even more. used starion front shocks/brakes etc, bmw e30 superlow kingsprings minus 1 coil for the front and 1/2 a bumpstop. for the rear it has ke70 dobi springs minus 1 coil. needs shorter rear shocks to make them captive

front crossmember is 85-90mm off the ground, needs to be lower i reckons

[rb drifter]

purchased new waterpump, cambelt, valve seals/headgasket set, fuel pump, fuel filter, oil filter as valve seals need doing and i have no idea when everything else was last done so may aswell do everything at once and get the motor mint! i will get new rings aswell after talking with MACKAZ it seems best to do them too while motor will be apart.

i want to acumulate all the parts i need before pulling motor apart as i use this for cruising on weekends.

sneak peak........



will update properly soon, maybe

[rb drifter]

todays effort,



cop let me off but rekons hell pinky it next time

[rb drifter]

update time with details off what litle work i really do.....

so wheels are 14x8s front, 14x9.5 rear. got them off MACKAZ for a sweet price,
had the old 5 stud holes welded up and redrilled by Shane Eady to 4x114.3, they all came out mint.
fronts were a crazy negative offset so had Tony Henwood cut the centres out and shift them 35mm and reweld them.
then sandblasted, primered, and painted gloss white
took them to MACKAZ and he hooked me up with new tires for a really sweet price.
fronts are 185/55r14, rears are 185/60r14
rears still clean gaurds without rub which is sweet.....

cops still dont aprove of my car, was let off with another "warning"


im stoked with how it looks now, but its time to rebuild the motor as its starting to smoke really bad
if anyone has some extractors or twin carbs for deals i would be keen to give this more grunt

[rb drifter]

finaly happened......


think its time to put a dohc motor in and get some certable suspension, adjusties if i can afford but probly not.

just because........
