Today was the day.

Swaybar.. 19mm "W201 Evo2" (notice spacers..)


Subframe, BOLT ON AFTER MODIFICATIONS! holy crap that was nice moment


Driver side done: [notice swaybar setting, middle, had to go softer the most top one to fit my wheels.. still might be issues.. will se..]


Passanger side:


Only thing that had bit issue was the swaybar endlinks, i bought W124 metal ones.. and they have different size bushing on the controlarm side.. luckily i had the old plastic ones still so i could just swap the bushings


Sorry bad focus, i took only 1 pick.. has to be enough.


Thats it, now rear controlarms and brakes are pretty much done, except ive misplaced handbrake stuff.. so i need to go local dealer and order those so i get the handbrake working.. i cant bleed the brakes it self yet, cause the clutchline is not done and i dont want that fluid messing my interrior up :P

Cheers!

[Exami]

Thanks guys,
Subframe painted, tomorrow time to install..

Are you going to run it this year?

Hope so. Depends on the monies..

[Exami]

Seems to depend much on the spot you are, literally no snow on Lauttasaari when I left work but 10cm at home. Disgusting. I still got some work left on my dd before I can start grinding the M5.

Are you going to run it this year?

difficult choice

hot and sketchy

or cold and safe

Actually no, it was beyond sketchy and i found out about 5km out of garage that it wont have any heat inside. but i foundout today the issue its the "heater control valve" or what controls it. once i unplug that... heat.. so works for now.
