Cheers for the comments. And as for no boso, have a bit of patience!

Unfortunately the guy i've bought the coilovers from is messing me around. Pretty much just taken my money and not sent me the suspension, despite me needing them urgently obviously due to split rear top mounts. Fucking ridiculous why someone would do something like that but i'm battling to try and actually get them. Can't exactly afford to go and spend another couple of hundred quid on top of the money i'd lose if he really send me up shit creek.

But anyway, with being bored of not being able to drive it much because of the rear suspension, I quickly nipped down to a mates who removed 2 coils from each front strut with his witchcraft plasma cutter. I know it isnt exactly the preferred method but they are tangential springs so not the end of the world. I then decided since today was nice I would continue with the panda spec paint. Sides and front are done so now just need to do the rear and i'll be done

Thats crap about the guy sending you the suspension. Hope your covered by Ebay or Paypal or something.

I like the paint.. has a AE86 kind of feel about it

Coilovers! They came and they went on. Note to self: never replace Nissan bluebird rear shocks ever again ever. What a nightmare I had mucking about with those things. Doesnt help that they are like bazookas so you cant move them around. Anyway, i'm sure photos are in order. Out of the box height wielded this...




Looks cool huh? So I thought until I tried to leave my street and failed miserably. It was undriveable in Aberdeen. Our speed bumps are mountainous heaps and the car was like a hoverboard. Didnt scrub tyres at all though so my arch rolling calamities were a success . Today I set about adjusting them for a more useable height. Fronts came up 1.5 inches and rears came up 1 and a bit. At that point the I ran out of threads on the rears! Front doesnt look much lower either but It definitely is. Unfortunately my 'cool jdm wide arches' hide the wheels a bit haha. And the fact that im on 14s doesnt help. May need to have another wheel search. I can get out of my street and it only scrapes on the sill seams when I go over the double hump speed bumps (which I need to go over the middle of the two). Also steering is now way off and pulls slightly left so I think alignment is in order. Here are some crap photos:






Very chuffed
