good read, love the flocked dash

Will try posting somemore pics tonight, progress has been slow.
I have got to fit a new bonnet lever handle cable and mechanism today as when i bought the car the handle had broke off and pliers has been used to pull cable.
I removed all ofthis last night, sum1 had installed an laserline alarm an routed the wiring loom through the rubber of the bonnet cable, was really tight and think this was putting additional strain on the handle.
Ive removed the alarm and taken out the wiring loom as i dont have the fobs and am using the renault alarm.

Progressed with the Front Brake install and hubs painted.
KW Variant 2's ready to be installed. Cant wait to get it on the track eventually,heard nothink but good things about them. I have got the variant 1 on my C20XE corsa which ive owned over 10 years now !
Brembo HC grooved discs up front.
Got alittle distracted ! Purchased a Nissan 1999 200sx S14A 54,000 miles, totally original, 1 owner from new and every service and Mot done at Nissan !
Ive always wanted one and probably one of the best examples in the UK

Another Purchase for the daily Drive, New tyres were required all round for MOT so i bought some 19 inch CSL Reps and fitted falken 452's all round, bloody expensive !
Hence why progress is slow due to lack of funds !
Kw's fitted, this is at there lowest setting on 17's ! Just wanted to see how it looked, awesome but only for show ! Will be raised for the track and smaller alloys !
Made a start on the rear coilovers too, Need to purchase some rear brakes and pads too when i have some spare money !
Just another pic from the other side
Just afew more pics adjusting the front shocks.
Do i purchase some solid Top Mounts ? Not sure if it makes the difference or not ?
What do people think ? Please let me know.
also would like front and rear strut braces and uprated roll bar.
Anyone advise set up for the track ?
Once i have sorted some front calipers i will get the car MOTD and take it up to Demon Tweeks for alignment.
The car also needs a nice full stainless system, keeping my eyes open for a good condition 2nd hand one if not will have to save for this too !

I decided to have another crack at stripping some of the weight out the car.
1st time round i discovered the torx bolt o the drivers side pillar at the bottom had a stipped head so i couldnt get the seat belt and rear door card out and i also found the same with the one for the rear passengers located on the roof !
The previous owner must have caused this !
Managed to get a torx bit to sit tight in the damaged head with the aid of a hammer and to my suprise i was able to undo it ! :approve:
rear seats removed along with junk !
