      They dont help me go fast.
      Need to get my hubs swapped aswell as getting the coupes exhaust redone from the rear wheels back first. Oh new clutch for the 2L swap. 1.5 life is killing me already -_-

          SO GAAAY. Im tempted to just swap motors now and change the clutch when I snap it in pieces :/


          Anyway. Coilovers are ordered. Should be here next week. Keen to get stuck in my back yard. Yet to buy tires for my 5 stud wheels sadly. Not sure when that will happen but hopefully soon.

              Coilovers didn't arrive today. So there goes my plan of being stuck in the yard this weekend. I did however swap over the side skirts and amber indicators. Excuse mah shitty phone pic.

              Tomorrow im swapping my fto rear sway bar. Hoping the coils aren't too much longer.

                    Thanks man. Going to lower it again for a meet on sunday. Hoping I can get the front hubs swapped and new tires for it at least. So good to drive now. Keen to get it all swapped and an alignment done.

                      This is really cool. What are you looking forward to the most on this build? More go fast now that youve got a fix for your lows? Or is the go fast a far off plan?

                          Get the rest of my parts from my coupe into it. And hit the track really. Then save for turbo time.

                          Cheers man. Yea. ahwell. Not sure yet. I have the coupes exhaust here still. Was thinking of getting the rear section modified to suit because its all the same until just behind the rear control arms. If I could weld id make a new one :3

                                Thanks man. I hope to aquire 32 gtr wheels at some point for it and run a 215/45 on it.
                                I might take you up on that man. Ill have to figure out what bends i need. And seeing as my front guards suck from the PO it wont matter if i ruin them a bit learning to roll. Would be good to check your car out. I havn't seen it in like a year i think.

                                Went to a car show/meet. Car was laughed at by a couple. Whatever has mixed matched wheels and is a mirage.
