jake.

Have made quite a few trips down the southern since i got this so was probably me. Cheers 

Will it still pass a wof if I cut them nicely? Would mean one less thing to change before each wof. Guess if I do it nicely there's not much way to tell haha

Cheers Ed! Was very surprised with how good they sound, being such old speakers and all, plenty loud too.

Current springs already make it pretty much sit on bump stops. If I was to go lower without coilovers would have to get another set of bump stops to cut down. But first I'm saving for some wheels to go on this!

No worries dude, sucks about the motor! I was pissed when the rebuilt motor on my chevette fucked out after a thousand k's but yours looks a bit worse, hope you can get it running again soon

Rad, awesome colour! One of my mates has a tt141 wagon that he desperately needs a boot hatch for. Don't suppose you have a source for parts for these?

Should put a photo up of the car

My mate that i sold my 180 to is looking for a ca18det motor and box. If you guys were keen to sell send me a pm

I had a Chevette for my first car and it was great. There's no such thing as vauxhall tax so you can get them really cheap and people almost give away parts for them if you can find them.

Or just buy a lada. You won't regret it.

Honest..

Engine swap wont be for a while yet, will either go 4age or something similar. love the beams motor in yours but looks like alot more work than the 4age?I mainly just want coilovers so i can adjust the height on the go, e.g have it slammed all the time but raise it up for long trips ect. more just a looks thing

Yeah been looking at a few prices. Can those weld on sleeves be certified easily? Would prefer something body adjustable but if its alot cheaper then that would be the go

The 86 coilovers and gx71 struts seem to be the most common way to do coilovers for the front in the ke70s. What are you running in the back? I need to have a read through your build thread again haha 

Finally got a wof this morning. Now i'm just gunna drive it as it is and tidy up little things. Saving up to get some nice wheels and coilovers, not sure if i should go custom made or get some ae86 ones and adapt them. If anyone has any advice or knowledge they wanna share lemme know in the discussion thread what the best thing to do for these is, suspension wise. Cheers

Shitty phone pic with the new tail lights fitted.

Looks good man! love the mk2's. Yeah they are, kind of going for an original look at the moment with a few subtle things. Won't be putting the lip on til i've got wheels sorted though, are you running coilovers in yours?

lately i've just been getting this up to wof spec so i can drive it round without having to worry. Chucked some short shocks in it all round as the old ones were leaking, new rack end, welded up some rust in the crossmember, replaced the tail lights with what i think are the japanese spec ones (not sure, maybe someone can tell me difference). got some factory fender mirrors for it so gunna chuck those and and maybe this front lip i've got sitting in the garage. 

got my lil bro holding it to see how its gunna look, it fits good, just not sure what colour to paint it if i put it on.

There is a thread in tech articles with all the info you need for working out spring rates ect

ignore this and last comment, I somehow posted the same thing 3 times.

.

You have a pm also!

Chees, I didnt see your comment before i posted my comment as i wasn't on the new page. sorry to get your undies in a twist

sent you a pm!

It's trademe, anyone can bid on them if they want to. If you want dibs email the seller and tell him that haha. Just kidding. You can have those ones and i'll just get the next pair for sale. Saves both of us paying ridiculous amounts for them, as there doesn't seem to be too much demand for them here and the people that do want them are willing to pay heaps

just saw everyone elses posts expressing interest, fuck

They must've just come up or somehow i missed them!! exactly what i'm looking for, no one else bid on these!!!!!!
