nah mine is fine, not a prob' only thing that is a prob is the trip, might take my dash apart again for the 4 time so far and place a s/hand trip clock in (and wind the odomotoer to what my dash has on it ),

just went to u pull it 2day and got my self some front struts with adjustable nolathane tops, 30 bucks the pair, the shockers are fekd but i wanted the nolathane tops, also got a new CAS plug cable so tommorow im going to be soldering that into my loom and cleaning it up

Sean a little warning about those Nolathane bearing plates, they are the best but it Will raise the front 25mm..
It's not a problem you just have to allow for it when putting them in and what height springs you've got or what 1s you put in while it's all apart..:thumbsup:

Nice ride too!!!

well may as well give a little up date on whats been happening with my car,
nothing difrebnt has change just getting it to run fine and little things that will need doing soon.
-my front wheel bearings are stuffed so got to change them soon,
-i think i might have a pin hole leak in my lower radiator pipe but cant be sure as i am lossing a little bit of water in the overflow every few days,
-good news, i scored some paint for free, it is PPG Astroid Silver (metalic, the calais bottom colour) so one day ill be spraying the bottom half of the car,

i have also found a decent package of mags avalible, they are HBD j' series 18x8 rims for $1350 new with tyres, fitted/balenced, new nuts and lock nuts.
i told my perants that i wanted 18s for my 18th birthday ages ago and recntly found these, my has hinted at the idea of getting them but hasnt said a certain yes yet, so looks like i will have to november to find out
