I wish! Don't know whether to go for a FMIC first or suspension. All too hard cause I don't want to cut reo and cop a defect either!!!

I got to go speak to a suspension expert about lowering my car because I definitely don't want a harsh ride, being a daily driver. If I can get it 25-30mm lower with spring rates very similar to what they are now and of course correct camber I'll be happy.... don't really think it needs to be any lower than that.

do what i did. do it all in one hit. lol.

ill take you for a quick spin in the s14 some time, its firm, but it isnt harsh. and thats with my unpadded fibreglass seat. lol.

or you can go and spend big on bilstein gear, which going from nightcrawlers gear, is actually harsher than my coilovers.

A good puncture repairer can drill and glue a plug in there

yeah, ill see what tyrepower can do when i get it aligned on saturday.

With the summer weather coming up steve i would be looking into a FMIC....i remember the days when i drove my 33 in the summer with the side mount and compare that to the same weather with a FMIC its unreal....FMIC does such a good job

I'll have to do it bit by bit so I can still drive it to work! We'll have to organise to go on another cruise up the hills.

Krishy, I know what you're saying as I drove it last summer. Starts to behave like a slug....

Yeah my car runs the stock SMIC, last summer one afternoon when I was driving to work and my car said it was 45 degrees, I went to overtake someone on a fast road after they turned off, my RB20 felt more like a RB10. Thats without A/C on because it doesnt work lol. So needless to say, a FMIC is on my list - along with heap of other stuff.

im looking at hookin up a small electric water pump to my washer bottle with some little garden water sprayers between the cooler and the rad for some extra coolness when it all gets a little warm.

[Damo_R34]

dave-o, Jenkies just ran his window washers to the fmic, so when you pull back on the stalk to squirt water, your spraying yo cooler not yo window!

[scandyflick]

thats an awesome idea.

i think ill steal it.

That's cool (no pun intended)! Then in winter you can plug them back into the bonnet squirters

[nugzy31]

or re route them to the back wheels and join ragerz

damn you got to it before me.....i was thinking why not just tap into the hose that runs from the washer bottle to the jets.....that way spray the cooler and clean your window at the same time

[Damo_R34]

cos when your cranking at 160 k's down the back straight at lala, the last thing you need is a front window full of water and your wipers going all frog in a blender

Easy man, go down to bunnings and grab some spray nozzles from the garden section, then run your existing water hoses and cable tie them (so the nozzles spray in the right direction) underneath or on top of your cooler.

I dont actually have a washer reservoir FMIC piping took priority, gotta get the mrs brother to fab one up for me.
