My A31

The same as HKS purple but with a pearl through it will have to check the exact name for it at work.

OK so bit of progress over the weekend. Fixed the thread on the LCA and bolted the knuckles up.

Picked up some ikeya formula tie rods, centered the rack and bolted them up with the spacers from JPP.

Seem to be getting slightly more lock to the right even with the wheel turning the exact same turns lock to lock. So thats doing my head in atm.

Also got some driftworks traction rods from Cartel to finish off my adjustable arms.

Took the boost controller out of the system and hooked up a boost gauge and went for a test drive. Gate opens at about 7psi and boost creeps to about 10-11 by redline. Wasnt cutting and drove smoothly. Didnt want to take it too far cause of the wheel alignment being way out. Have one booked for Saturday morning so more testing on the weekend, get to cruise around Lakeside on Sunday if the cars going well so should be able to sort some shit out. Matsuri is approaching fast!!

Oooh , nice , that purple plenum is pretty

[GravyGarage]

So got distracted at super shit yesterday and decided I needed a colour change.

What do you guys think?

[Stang]

Hmmm. Not sure why, but I think I prefer the orange.

Y'all notice how the Driftek's look way tougher on a Ceffy than anything else.

Yeah.

[GravyGarage]

Yeah the green is a bit more subtle, not real sure on the colour yet either. Did do a pretty rubbish job of spraying them though haha.

Teks are a strange wheel they have 2 good 'angles' but look nasty in general. Hope that made sense...

Starting to get really picky with this car. Think it will need a makeover soon or ill start getting bored with it

Wanted to test out Doomah's wheel alignment so got in on a skidpan day, couldnt wait for qr to reopen.

First time testing it on the pan with the 25 and lock. So much easier to drive

That looks like a lot of fun...wish I had access to a nice wet skidpan.

[GravyGarage]

Woo finally got my user name changed!

And pic

[toffy]

You've got some work ahead of ya to make them fit!

[GravyGarage]

Had to buy new shit to keep me happy. Finally found a new bonnet so looks alot cleaner at the front even though the fit isnt perfect.

And after almost two years of owning this shit tin found the taillights that I wanted. Now looks like a christmas tree so have to repaint the wheels. Was thinking red. Thoughts?

[toffy]

Candy red or blue gets my vote, or that purple you painted the manifold

[GravyGarage]

Haha yeah that candy purple is not worth doing on these wheels

Gotta stick to the export quality range. Havnt done red or blue yet so they are the most likely choices.

Booked in for morning session in March and now have a GoPro 2 so will finally get some decent footage!

New lip

[toffy]

Nice , looks like a r32 gtr lip cut down to size?

[GravyGarage]

Your onto it

So first week of having the car home has had a lot of progress. Cleaned up the engine bay- mounted oil cooler, remounted catch can and fuse box, tidied up the rest of the loom, painted wheels red and found why the boost controller wasn't working. Car had started toeing in at the front for some reason couldn't figure out why so did a quick alignment tonight. After a couple of turns of the lh tie rod fell out of the rack. Very lucky it happened then and not on the highway/track. Also put one of the euro lines on the front and seems to fit...

Need a small slip on and a slightly smaller tyre but should work.

Tomorrow involves 2-way, 25 turbo and degrease engine bay.

Got a pic of the whole car with those wheels on?
