Sheepers buys a modern car.

Old-school, where a 22 year old car is modern. I love it.

Also seen some bc adjustable's on facebook marketplace if you wanted some second hand items 

Can you get me a contact for the seller please?

I can't access marketplace for reasons I haven't discovered yet.

So getting coilovers for this is turning out to be a bit difficult in that everything had massive lead times in the region of 18 weeks.

So I bought some yellow speed ones. 

I've got yellow speed brakes on my blue car,  have had them on there for about 4 years or so,  never has any issue with them and so I took a punt on their coilovers. 

In the meantime I thought I'd make a slightly custom grill for it.  Because  there was a cheap grill on trademe.

I want to "delete" the badge,  so they'd what I'm doing.

I noticed the same thing on my FB just the other day.. it disappeared from the bottom of the screen.. it had moved into the Menu (bottom right)

Progress. 

Not finished yet but getting there. 

Interestingly enough the one with the biggest bend in it,  third from the right,  is the one I didn't cut. 

[sheepers]

Did some more.

Top one is clearly a Lexus, bottom one is a A32 Maxima?

The bottom one is a satsumo castanet.

 

Very popular model in the west North.

Doing the rest? 

[sheepers]

Richie is a good cunt. 

Not only did he find me a good set of wheels on marketplace,  he went to Wellington and checked them out for me,  then he bought them for me. 

 

Then he bought them to auckland for me. 

I take back some of the things I said about him. 

 

SSR MS1s.

19x 8.5 +25 front

19x 9.5 +22 rear.

 

Fucking stoked. 

Now it really really needs to come down.

Get ready for a surprise, 

Scarles are a useless pack of cunts. 

My coilovers which were supposed to be here last Wednesday didn't actually get ordered by the great folks at scarles so I've got to wait another 4 weeks. I'm fucking stoked as you could Imagine.

 

 

So I moved on to doing something else. 

 

 

I made a new zorst for it. 

Stock zorst is pretty restrictive and super quiet, and we can't have that. 

So is now 63mm from the cats back where if goes into a single 75mm hotdog, then splits back into twin 63mm pipes all the way to the back with two 63mm offset straight through glass pack SS mufflers.

 

I started it with just the 75mm hotdog and nothing behind it and it wasn't actually that loud. 

Should sound good.  I'll let the print dry tonight then I'll chuck it back in the car tomorrow. 

[sheepers]

So is all installed and is fucking perfect. 

Nice v8 burble at idle,  makes awesome V8 noises when you give it the jandles but silent when just cruzing. 

Stoked.

What's the yellow car in the reflection?

[sheepers]

fiat 124 BC.

[sheepers]

I dunno what the fuck goes on at scarles and I'm sure they don't either but for wherever reason my coilovers turned up. 

So I put them in. I made new bump stops because @cletus told me the yellow speed ones would be garbage, and they were,  so I made some new ones. 

I am ecstatic with the result.  The ride is still comfortable and smooth and the lowness is perfect. 

Tomorrow I've got to fine tune the Bump stops in the front to get everything happy and that's it. 

Super premo.

[Spencer]

V8 noises and plush suspension, living the dream.

[RXFORD]

You're 'murica-ning' wrong. You're just meant run a holesaw through the strut tower above the balljoint to stop it hitting...

 

[Roman]

That looks fucking aweseome @sheepers! 

Well done. 

It's amazing how lowering it makes the car look so much longer and sleeker.
