Coilovers were in at midnight last night. Got a wheel alignment today. Had a bit of problems with the tyres hitting the valence/lower part of the guard, may need to look at adjustable castor to get it any lower/probably won't work anymore as the tyres are pretty much stopping me go any lower. But, it's exactly the look I was after, beefy tyre with tyre tuck(or close to). Semi racecar-ish look, but not really. Rambling cause I'm tired.

yes it is shit. in practice, it hasnt really been an issue. i have done hundreds of ONT tests and never had to re do a car cause it got pinged again, this week i did have someone who got done again for noise but they had fitted a restrictor plate to pass the test, which they took out again afterwards. surprising really as most of the cars i test end up with some sort of "most likely temporary" measure to shut them up, like a silencer or restrictor plate. oh if anyone is getting the test done and it fails, saying "ill get some steelos/goldilocks/steel wool and jam them up there hurr durr" does not make you appear clever.

Oh and before any of you cunts say anything I'm on Ebay now looking for another speedo.

^that is fucken sweet, But I am mega keen just to get it going so I can ride it. /BOOM!

You're so retarded Ned.. ba-dom-tish

i could follow him home one day. work would be alot more pleasant without the decrepid old fuck i also bought new sprokets and chain, since mine are pretty toast and needed the gearing returned to factory anyway. coming from the UK but should make it ALOT nice to cruise on. just hoping acceleration doesnt suffer too much.

Been laughing at the fuckwit at work telling me to put fairings on to hide the ugly frame.. The cunt rides a lime green sunny 50

Wow long time no update oldschool! Ive been back from initial officer training for about a week now and ive cracked on a fair bit and spent a few dollars on the escort! 1) Capri struts fully welded to coilovers by KE70_wagon aka mitch 2)FE3! Very happy with the new FE3 ive got. Its a high comression variant so 10:1 cr. Gearbox is sussed with the mx5 one ive got and a 2.0l petrol courier bellhousing. Plans for it will include itb's or dual carbs, porting and balancing. 3) In my spare time today i made a hybrid CAS from an mx5 and FE3 CAS 4)Also bought some AP 4pot calipers from an Austin princess with new stainless steel pistons and seal kits, should be here soon enough! So I head back to Waiouru for the rest of the year with about a week off every 2 months but should be worth it when I get my comission to 2nd Lieutenant and 57k. Goals for the year will just be parts hoarding and trying to crack on with the escort! Cheers guys, expect another update in 2months
