Hi and welcome to the one way poor house lol. Are you going to be running this on the standard ECU? If so, I'd check which heads are on the block before starting it

Yeah as far as I know, and I don`t have coil overs to go on anyways.
If they are wrong then they won`t go on lol.

Did a bit of a clean up yesterday and they are KYB adjustable shocks not Koni.

Engines in and running, just gotta sort the screech, which while its off the floor I`m gonna remove the undertray as a starter to see what it is.
Then assuming that sorts the screech, fit the suspension, brake disks and calipers, and then sort the tyres. Maybe even attack the wheels with nitromors, and repaint lol.

But if the screech doesn`t go I`m in a world of unknowns lol.

If it does then MOT time.

Went and attacked the shocks with a wire brush on a drill, and then a tin of Ronseal paint.

Cheers guys, its appreciated.
Its a lot of hard work, as to be fair shes not been the most well looked after by any means.
So fingers crossed she will be on the road soon, then when I get some money together new paint and interior, and then finally remapped and thats it (famous last words I think).

After doing this.



I now have these.



Got them for £4.81 each + vat, from Keith Price in Abergavenny.
Justin there said as I have an import he WILL sort me parts and stuff as he has the Japanese parts disk or something, and can buy genuine parts through Keith Price. Just have to call the parts dept and ask for him. And as Keith Price is a fair distance away he will post bits as long as they are small enough.
Bit of a result.
