[4uall]

Thanks Richard, I had read some reviews and saw the same so there is a little hesitation.

Peter, I was able to speak with Joe again and he may be able to squeeze me in so I will more than likely go that route as they had patched my floor year one

And now we wait.................................

The arms are shipped. Fully built and ready to install. Lets hope 3rd time is a charm

Summary of all that has happened lately.

Hi Jay , while I had my engine out we decided to strengthen the shock tower bay on both sides with great results, can post more pics if interested.Cheers and keep up the great work

[4uall]

Looks great. I wish I had more time & resources to do stuff like that. I am looking forward to my retirement...........in 20+ yrs

I am looking at getting some new tires next month. Here is what I am considering P185/70R13 ATREZZO SH402 86T

They look alright , dont think we have them over here ,old rims or new ?
Just had a new set delivered , Bronze Rota's from Mark very hard to decide on rubber as I'm not after an all rounder, will only drive the car on weekends during Summer witch is now over so have a hole year to decide
Had a new set of Adrenaline Potenza's fitted on my rex but anything under 80km's and it's bumpy ride , pretty bad for such an expensive tyre.
Keep up the good work Jay.

Cheers
John

It has arrived Is there any special prepping required when putting in a new rad?

[DocGraphics]

Jealous

[seabeelt]

Not that I know about. Just transfer all of your old connections ( unless you have new to install) and fill her up and burp of course

[4uall]

cool No pun intended.....................or is there?

[4uall]

Naturally, the night I drop Fiona off for a quote on some body work, my (3rd time's a charm) VAS control arms arrived with bushings already installed. Does this look right to everybody, because I am exhausted installing and re-installing etc these VAS control arms & bushings?

[SLOSpider]

No shock mounts? Are those the one with the bolt on lower mounts? Someone hear showed a pic of the mount bolted up but then you couldn't get the lower shock bolt in. I guess you have to bolt the shock to the mount then the mount to the arm? From what I have seen VAS arms are not up to par compared to AR or IAP.

[4uall]

You mean this photo?



Yeah it was me Here is what I am dealing with now





They gave me this mount last time


How the f**k am I supposed to put the bots through/on. The mounting thread hits the bolt before it seats

[SLOSpider]

So they sent you another set of arms? Looks like you'll have to shorten the shock bolt, mount stud or shim the shock mount away from the arm. Not good for direct fit.

[garion]

Would it work if you reversed the black bolts? in other words, put the heads on the side with the shock mount. Then the shock pivot bolt would pass over the heads.

Or are those studs?
