Jono.C Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 All i have to do now is wait for shipping. Buy ke20 balljoints and have my sleeve kit welded on it'll be low :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah boy. Can't wait for some updates! And for some of my own too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hopefully weekend after next everything will be here and i can put it together.. Still need my camber tops drilled and studs pressed in. Then have the sleeve kit welded properly. Get brake hoses made and figure out tie rods and it'll be sweet! Then i just need new tires to get it sitting how i like. For now i'm considering running ke70 stockies and trim rings on the front with the sus all the way down :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ordered Balljoints last night. Last immediate thing i need is brake hoses made up. Then soon after a pair of 165/55's and RCA's to go in for a wheel alignment. Then a Whiteline swaybar for the front and i'm done. This setup has not been cheap. Wont see any change for $1500 but.. Everything has been bought brand new and good quality gear so ʞ©$ɟ your cut springs! Hopefully have the struts sent in for welding tomorrow and get my camber plates drilled. Assemble everything ready for my parts from T3 to turn up. Coilovers turned up today. :D HSD's via Otomoto. 6kg and wont be running the helper springs if i can get around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Going to be waiting about 2 weeks to have my sleeve kit welded on.. Leaves time for parts to turn up i guess. Did some measuring between stock struts and my setup today, I can go 3.5" lower and still have 1/2" from tire to guard, With 165/55's i can go about 4" lower with a little gap so i don't ruin my guards. Should be fun. :D Took it for a quick drive today. My god it's slow.. Almost dangerous.. Motor seems strong but is crippled by that gearbox.. So once the front end is done, 5 speed will be swapped in very soon. Also swapping my manky indicator lenses for new ones tomorrow, Yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 What is the kit like? Mine showed up today but the courier couldnt leave it :( Had someone lined up to weld it all up this weekend too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's great man. Stoked with the quality.. The sleeves are solid, and have a lip at the bottom so the nuts can't be wound off the bottom. So you'll have to make sure you weld it on the right way up :P I chose to use T3 spring hats instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Going to be waiting about 2 weeks to have my sleeve kit welded on.. So your not paying for the job then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yeah i'm paying for it, Dude's an engineer. He's flat out trying to get his ae86 ready for the drifts next weekend apparently so i don't mind waiting for that. I can't do anything until the rest of my stuff arrives anyway.. Just need to start hunting for ke30/55 axles and drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Fair enough. Atleast being a drifter he'd have done it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yeah he's done a couple of my mates kits before as well. I'll need to get the diff sorted asap to stop that wheel locking issue from out of balance bias.. I really want 5 speed though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza91 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 i like where this build is going. great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Cheers! It's far from overrated, Body will need some love. But i think all the little chips and spider webbing will add some character once it's low.. Starting to clean up my brakes and steering arms etc with stripping and painting. Want it to be as clean as possible to hopefully get off with as little harassment from the police as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Making more progress than me... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
