Lol. If I was still on them I would have been upside down through that corner. I personally use the 595 over the evo any day but I have found they have a limit. I've changed to kuhmo at this stage. 1 2 in the champion ship they must be ok. They have so far been light years ahead but they are way expensive

I have several aspects to revamp on the. Car but can't seem to get into it. Any one got a way to get yourself motivated?

This weather doesn't help much. If you have a goal it helps, as in set a date. Although we figured out you have to be realistic haha.

Spent a bit of time today doing surgery on our car, nothing major just cutting out battery tray which is diseased with rust!

Not sure how much I need to cut out though, if you look at pic below you can see a few areas I have cleaned up with wire wheel that are pitted from rust but not rusted through, do these areas need to go as well or is it ok to just treat and paint?

Just coating that should be fine

Yeah as jangles said just treat and paint. As long as the Strength of the metal is still there then there's no need to remove it. By cleaning it up like you have and treating it with a metal conditioner/rust converter it will never come back as long as you coat it properly.

So thinking of installing my new BC coilovers myself soon when i get the time, any tips to make it go smoothly, im pretty sure i can do the fronts no problems, just the back im a bit unsure of, ive seen a vid on youtube where he just removes the rear seat, but ive read somewhere that you need to remove the parcel shelf?

also other than height is there anything else i need to adjust before/during install? im prob gonna put the damper on soft as its for the street, but anything else you guys could recommend?

Finally found some motivation. Got a stack of work done to the car today. Repainted one and touthed up the other rims that got badly gravel rashed at symmons. Oil change and sump guard fitted. I've also been revamping the back end and removing weight where I can. Found the toe rod ball joint loose and replaced it with the only spare I have.. Brought a spot drill bit and been in studying panels where I can. Also got some alloy to start making a rear diffuser. On track for round 3. Also hoping to get to the legerwood lane hill climb.

Not too sure you can mate. If your talking about the little spring that sits below the main spring it's just there to locate the top spring and stop it from moving off the seat when under full extension.

ok well from what i figured about he coilovers, the very bottom collar is for lowering/raising the car, and the top one adjusts the preload, the one just below it, makes sure it doesnt move, and from vids and reading new springs can 'settle' so one vid said to tighten the preload by about 5mm to account for that, and i have been told that you just adjust it after bit of driving... just wanted to see if what others have done, so ill prob just install them and check them after a few days...

ok cheers thanks for that,

last thing in this pick my coilovers came with this thing just above the 'c' collar that adjust height, never seen it on a coilover before,

is it ok just to take it off?

it would be to bolt the abs sensor cable to for abs equipped cars

ok cheers, thought that could be the case, as i had a quick look under the car and the stock shocks have something sticking out, i guess its no use to me then

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
