Well after my vacation i couldn't leave the car at peace so I jumped in to have some fun.. NOT!

It drove like shit.. strange behavior on bumps..
took it to the garage to have a peek..

and found it..


"welcome back home" I thought then..

but every bad thing gets a good thing comming

2 hrs later a guy came and deliverred me this:

Weitec height/rebound adjustable supersportkit

old vs new:


the way it should be:


the way it was:



needed parts


Some guy told me i should use a spring tensioner













Put it up high for a start.. going to play around with varios hights and other settings before getting the wheels re-aligned.

it will be lower.. dont worry :thumbs

And another update.. finally got the exhaust to be as i wanted it

Before:
- Manifold was hanging very low.. i think it was rewelded by the previous owner making it hang lower for some odd reason.. it hit the street on every speedbump..
- original flange was leaking and totally screwed by speedbumps
- there was a bit of 45 mm pipe before the decatpipe
- decat pipe hung low and was 47mm

After:
- Manifold rewelded and fixed up
- manifold now ends in a 57mm flange
- new sports-katalyst 57mm with new flanges
- entire exhaust rewelded to hang nice and tidy into the tunnel

After waiting way too long for them.. I finally got my 2lt brakes back from the coater looks pretty nice



and also got my 4>1 clock with shiftlight.. not only for my lazy ass gearshifting @ 1/4m but it also has oiltemp/pressure/etc in it

Will be putting together the brakes next month (new inner parts, pistons, seals and bolts, etc.) with braided hoses and the earlyer shown brakepads (Ferodo ds2500)

Cheers!
