Looking very good Dave :D well done, when you fitting the coilovers ?

Next week................

Dont laugh................I'm fitting them at the local garage they will assist me when I balls it up......................should be here next week

schedule is

Cat 1 alarm

Fit seats

Fit 3G brakes and yellowstuff pads

Fit Kakimoto 3" zorst

Look at adapting JZA80 down pipe to fit

Fit coilovers

[Dave-Ellen]

kakimoto zorst arrived.............weighs next to nothing..............will be fitted tomorrow

no sign of coilovers or brake :-(

[Dave-Ellen]

coilovers & 255/40 * 17 Toyo R888 tyres (rears) arrived today

Looks like it will retain electric seats for fore & aft movement which will be cool (seats are fixed back buckets)

Decided not to use the 4 point harnessess yet as the seats are quite small and my bum a tad large so i'll be well wedged in

why do you want fore and aft movements ?

get rid of those heavy motors !

well wedged in until you are upside down !! even your fat bum wont be enough to hold the rest of you

[Dave-Ellen]

think it will.....................motors weigh 2kg

means Kami can drive as well as other people with shorter legs............walks off whisting

[Dave-Ellen]

update…BC Racing coilovers on as well as a few extra bits

Extra air intake

Kakimoto 3” single exit zorst

3g rs10 brakes with yellow stuff pads

[Dave-Ellen]

Car is ready..........

But..............

Alarm not here :-(

At the moment it has no security at all so can't take it til the cat 1 is fitted.....bit fed up

[sparkystav]

why cant you take it?

dont the locks work?

[Dave-Ellen]

why cant you take it?

dont the locks work?

they do but insurance was granted on basis it had a cat 2 alarm which I thought it had.....they will not pay out for theft as it is now....its in a locked compound in a locked & alarmed workshop so quite safe

Should be ready for me to take it to the ring though :winky:

[sparkystav]

fair enough, isnt a cat 2 an immobiliser?

cat 1 is an alarm (obviously a professionally fitted one)

Hope everything comes in time

Don't imports have to have cat 1 fitted when they come into the uk ? or is this just on newer cars coming into the uk ?

[Anees]

@Dave - have you had chance to take a good drive with the BC Racing Coilovers? They seem to be getting quite popular with alot of other car makes too......... a few on the Honda S2000 club have them and rate them highly.

[Dave-Ellen]

I also thought all imports had to have a cat 2 as minimum so thats what i said to Mr Flux.....when the form came to say what make I was stymied as there was none !

@ Annees not driven it yet but guy doing set up said at hardest setting it was bone jarring. Has fiddled with damping settings and says its now firm but nice. Hopefully will be able to report back later today.

I've sold loads of the BC with no bad reports to date couple of guys on here bought them not sure if they've commented

[Ellz]

Looks good Dave, where'd you get the Soarer from think i've seen it floating on a forum before maybe Drift works or something.

You going manual or keeping auto ???? With your contacts you should be able to get a cheap R154 box and bell housing from either Japan or US

Good luck with which ever route you go

[Dave-Ellen]

Guy from soarer world.

Picking it up tomorrow with cat 1 alarm fitted. getting it noise tested prior to first event.

only driven in 30 miles since getting it......................need some practice time and setting up coilovers

[Dave-Ellen]

collected car last night.

all looking good its 100db @ 4000 rpm which is noisier than I'd like so need to fix that.

Handles really well on the coilovers

just got to wash/polish & sticker up
