Havent updated in a while, so will just update with some pics and stuff and update briefly the 1st page:

Big update for the car. After coming over and cleaning my car with my, my good friend has been nagging to take and upload some photos of my car (NICK YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!). I took some garage shots of the car at night so sorry not the best photos. Also took some photos of things to install in the car, for a little taste of whats to come. Note: slimline plates and vy ss head lights arent photographed but are waiting to be installed :D The king springs have also settled (have photo of front spacing to my tyre) as well as the shine on the car only coming through in a couple of shots.

Todays progress:

RH strut top bush
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02338.jpg
Hub disassembly and braided line install (both sides)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02339.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02340.jpg

Control arm removal (both sides)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02342.jpg
Control arm bushes
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02343.jpg
Hub with dust guard (requires removal for brakes)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02344.jpg
Dust guard removed (still need to clean the surface on the LH hub)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02345.jpg
LH strut rubber cover shagged
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02346.jpg
Fucked strut top bushes+bearings
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/taztassio/DSC02347.jpg

Tomorrow will see me head to a suspension joint for the bushes to be pressed out and 1 of them pressed in (the radius rod end doesn't require pressing in, its a two piece, while the control arm inner has a 'crush' tube) and hopefully a new strut rubber guard. Then i will reinstall the hubs, and the front radius rod bushes with the rest of the bushes, and then the brakes. should be done by tuesday then straight for an alignment.

Also, with the inner control arm bush, it has an off-centre hole for the new bush, what direction should that face for pressing in? (the suspension guys should know, but i want to make a point of it)

Cheers

Nick
