I have a set of 550lb nismo spings for the cage car (rear), a set of Adjustable TC rods, and Control arms. I want to go Coil over in the rear, but budget says "maybe springs are better". We will see. Im going to do a disc brake conversion on the cage car.
the blue car used to be owned by my girlfriends younger sisters x boyfriend .
Are you sure its an l16 in it i was told it had an l18.
I also have the su's and the old wheel's for it on my car lol
Not sure if its the 18 or 16.
I did happen to make my window straps today, and relocate the gas fill tube. Its only temporary. the plan is to get a silver moon flip top for the C pillar.
if i remember right the guy who had it last found it in a junk yard and bought it pretty cheep. he was not to mechanicley inclined though i am glad it went to some one who can fix it. did he ever replace the core support or did you buy it smashed in? if i remember the doors would not close right.
The guy I bought it from did a really bad job trying to replace the core support. So I stripped it to just bones and I am about to move it to my third bay. The font clip really needs some TLC.
This car will have a long intense rebuild. The paint will be restored to the nice 80's blue paint job.

Well for the first drive was yesterday. I had lots of vibration! Tranny was vibrating against the tranny crossmember , Easy fix. Then I drove it all the way to corvallis. Way better ride then the blue car was.
