RE: DIY: Hopeless project.
Recently got the car down on it`s wheels after getting the last batch of parts this winter, noticed less camber and messed up toe settings.
I cant have that, even if it meant shoddy-looking solution I cut open the boxed LCA`s and knocked the crappy ball joints out. Then I welded where the angle grinder did the most damage, put the new ball joints in, repainted the arms and put them back in: Then I took her for a test drive around the farm, and noticed crappy braking. Took the front calipers off and found out why: Had to use grinder pad to even get down to metal, but no surprise there, whoever owned this car between the last serious owner and me probably knew nothing. Also found the bleeding nipples needs to be changed, theyve gone soft, broke one of them (drill and slam a torx in will probs solve the problem). Uzelac sorted me out with the column hi-beam/dimmer switch I need so will get that in a couple of weeks, change rotors, bleed brakes and have the car inspected so I can get license plates. Tomorrow evening or the day after I will get some AE82 struts, and modify strut brackets to suit my unidentifiable spindles (Which are 64x64`s but bigger inner wheel bearing inner diameter size so I donno) then take the parts off some Revolver SPL coilovers I got for 200E and add them to the AE82 struts that I get for free, which is probably what I should have done in the first place, but at least I will have gravel coilovers on the side if I need them. 1x AE86 84` Zenki Coupè Levin 4A-GE 20v 1x AE86 83' Zenki Coupe Levin 4A-GE 16v 1x TA60 82' Sedan 2T 8V 1x TA40 78` MK1 Zenk/Pre-Facelift Wagon 4A-GE 16v |
