Lol 12maneym, did you know it was ****ed at the time? Was the body jumping side to side over the rear suspension much? Maybe a similar effect to losing all the welds on the panhard rod bracket and all around there (and cracking one of the support rails).
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
30mm in the front 20mm in the back, Have ran thicker in the back but way to loose thou. Yea can't wait to have the lsd in one wheel is just ****en gay.
its a poor design by nolathane, it just has a single nut on each end. it should be double nutted. i locktite'd it anyways. it felt like it was crabbing,horrible to drive!
What's the story with the rear coilovers? Where'd ya get em from and how much? Be interested to see the end result and find out how easy they are to install etc.
Yea got them of trademe, they were on special $200 off so $600 but dosn't seem like cheap crap. its full bolt in kit, sick of all the lowering kits that leave a commys arse in the air I want it flat. will take some pics when i install if your interested.
Update,
So I pulled the engine to fix a zorst leak
Turns out headers were warped engineer had to shave 1.5mm off !! to get it flat, nice and flat now.
Also had the intake runners machined well I was at it.
In preparation for this.
Also while the engine is out i'm gonna dial my cam in a bit better with a adj cam gear and fit a new belt.
I also found when I took the zorst side off the turbo, that the bolts had bottomed them selfs out in there holes and ****ed the thread. So I will be re-taping and replacing with studs instead.
Will keep you update when the engine is back together...
Yea well it should take out a decent amount of piping, Sorta hoping for at least 500rpm quicker spool. And about another 10hp outa the cam once its dialed in properly.
New Studs.
Backing plate on.
I mod'd a new crushed gasket for the zorst side of the turbo, seems they have a bridge for the twin pulse. but looks like mine has been burnt away. So i just cut it out and saved my turbo the damage.
Manifold on.
And Back on the engine, the oil line to the block behind the turbo was a ****en **** to do up. It was out just enough to not wanna catch grrrrrrrr.
Its a T4 Turbo with an internal gate put in it, brought the whole setup of hsvsux a while ago now. Its got a 3inch mandrel zorst but needs a new flexy now co'z it hits every thing ! and i wanna go lower too. so maybe some cutting is required too . Just gota put in bigger oil pump now, And back together.

wtf thats a t4 rear housing that fits a stock dump and it must have the stock centre for the stock oil lines to fit didnt know you could get a t4 rear like that definatley get the manifold and rear housing ceramic coated would look sweet.
