I'm definitely on the bandwagon of those saying "don't do anything until you can do it properly", I mean what is the point of doing a job twice? and cars rarely handle well unless the suspension is done properly.

 

I'd like to point out that I've recently purchased an ae93 seca from someone on this site and I'm slightly mind-boggled as to how there came to be retreaded tyres (with two being well and truly illegal/worn/bald/canvas showing/flatspots etc) and a woodgrain steering wheel..... to my mind, I'd be putting nice tyres on it and leaving the steering wheel stock... (it now runs pirelli p6's in the correct size on new steel rims)

 

I'd also like to say I'm mind-boggled as to how all the suspension bushes came to be replaced, along with the shock absorbers, which would lead you to beleive someone was chasing bad handling problems, but the steering rack D clamp that locates it and secures it to the body was loose and the bush was chomped out, meaning the steering rack moved up to 80mm in relation to the body....

 

I'm all for car modification, and I'm an avid car enthusiast myself, as well as being a motor mechanic, but I don't quite get why people shortcut things, or spend money on modification when the vehicle needs vital repairs. Keep your car in great mechanical condition before you modify it and then take the time effort and money to do it properly.

 

 

To be fair it might not have been the previous owner that did it, maybe the owner before?? I'm not sure of the history of the car...

 

but I digress.... Ultimately everybody can do what they like, I just don't understand what was going through some people's heads at the time ;)

and god knows I'm fussy enough about the ke55 that my other half drives ;)
