Hey mate. Im running a super low S15 too. Do you have any issues with rear camber arms touching the chassis on big bumps?

 

[mint]

No i could not afford one in Japan as it cost alot of money.

Alright!
I was going too ask you were you put the valve unit. But then there is no reason too do.

You are weak, you should drink blue Smirnoff not red one

 

[WATDA]

Im running coilovers with adjustable rear camber and toe arms. Have a look under ya car when its on the ground and see how close the camber arm is to hitting out of interest

 

[mint]

ok mate will check tomorrow for you if i have time.

Also.. Red was all we had haha.. well, we had blavod mmmmmmm its mighty good! Update.
Well this is now technically DAY 11 if been working on her in between jobs etc. Still got the wheels to finish off.

Here's from today. Got a couple of hours sleep to be woken very early by the sound of an HKS SSQV.. its a fantastic alarm clock that tbh! lol. Mr Thacko Kun was round AM.. boilers on and bonnet up! Time to crack on!

Our Entertainment System! Yes.. thats a LEGO™ Brick Speaker system powered by the ePod lmao

First thing. HUGE Thanks to Nik from over on JDMtas.com for getting me the Rocker Cover Gasket and OEM Oil filter yesterday. Your a legend sir. After alot of jiggery with it we finally got the rocker in place and had her bolted on down and sorted.

Next was to do a full oil change and install new filter + Greddy Sanny plate.

MFC Oil Catcher ^o^

We had an issue wit getting the old filter out due to the angle its at, Right under the inlet and there's little room to play with. Lucky my dad was at hand and used his mad tyte grip to remove it somehow! Nice one!

Anyways.. Drilled out a hole and then we reinstalled the new ARC airbox. Fitted the FMIC pipping back in and turned her on for a test start. No Fuel and No life in the Batt. Meh.. we sorted it got it running and she's sounding so nice (to me anyway lol!) The ARC Red filter sucks right in when you open the throttle up its pretty rad.

Anyways.. Early on in the morning the JDM posty turned up with some more goodies for Kei Chan in record breaking time may i add!

Thacko went off to check out Kyle's DC2 and clean the Evo while my old man and me worked on installing this shiney carbon bad boy! Again thanks to my dad we got it in with little to no hassle.

Will get better pics in daylight tomorrow as i need them to send back to EPRacing, Loving it. Tomorrow wont stop tho. Gotta go get my battery fully charged and try finish these damm wheels! urgh!

arigato dudes!

[mint]

3 pics from yesterday, I know.. the carbon again! lol

Couldnt have gotten it all together and found the damm clip without the help of my old man and Scotty again!

Todays update!!! w00t!!

Alot of buggerin about however finally!!! its in... . . . .

 

[Trial_S15]

Very nice Mint! Maybe an odd question but how do the Brides effect the limited headroom in the drivers seat (I'm struggling with the standard item in)?

 

[mint]

The MO rail thats on it is super low, So the seat for a start sits lower. The cushion's also allow for the seating position to be lower and im also short so i have no problem hehe.

 

[Trial_S15]

lol, cheers mint. I like the original but the seating position really annoys me at times (I'm 6ft 2"). I know they're bloody expensive but if it means I can choose my driving position without worrying about catching my head it'll be worth it :thumbs:
