Cheers mate! I want the mods to suit the age of the car as much as possible - I figure It's such an 80's car I might as well keep it that way. The Konis are great - the car no longer sags under acceleration, and going over bumps the rear end returns to correct height instead of wallowing around now - wonderful :)
 
 
Took it for a drive earlier tonight down to Harry's Cafe De Wheels in Parra, the first time driving with the new wheels. Feels great, much more responsive with the better rubber and lighter tyres (probably also because the tyre pressures turn out to be about 60 Kpa higher than I had the stock teardrops) and the car feels a bit more go-karty (could simply be placebo effect though). They definately make less noise and have more grip than the old econo-tyres though. Only issue is that theres a bit of rubbing on the fronts - mainly the front right, but that looks like it's due to the plastic wheel arch liner being a bit bent out of shape in the first place, and it sits a bit closer to the tyre.
 
I'll take some photos over the weekend with the new wheels, hopefully the fronts with the peeling paint don't look too daggy in sunlight.

Thanks RdS - the shocks in mine were buggered i think (shock oil was black and smelt bloody awful when I cracked them open) so that might be why it doesn't appear to have lowered mine down too much - before it was sagging, now it's just low :)
 
I think I'll go for some twos r us endlinks, but I'm waiting to see what the whole US debt deal will do to the exchange rate first.
 
Went out and took some pics today, unfortunately the nice weather went overcast when I decided to go out to take photos so they aren't the best - I had to bump up the brightness a bit to bring the wheels out. But the wheels look nice :)
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks fantastic, good work.
May I ask what size tyres you have on the wats atm?

Been a while since the last update - not a lot has happened, got a few more pics though :)
 
Went for a drive this morning and got a flat tyre, upon closer inspection one of the spokes in one wheel has a small 1 inch crack :( Really didn't want to have to deal with this since I was about to start painting... 
 

 
 

Your adub looks awesome!
Sorry to see the crack in your rim, good pick up.
Fine choices and good work with the susp and sway install! Im actually thinking similar ;) 
 

Cheers guys, I'll be getting quotes on the rim this week, hopefully it won't be too bad - at least they were fairly cheap to begin with. I love the look of the car with the watanabes, and the crack doesn't look too bad, but safety first :)
 
@ RdS: Yeah the flaps were only going to be off while I was painting them, but I quite like the look too... 

Ok...
 
It's been a while since my last update, to be honest I've been a bit distracted from the Adub recently, although I've a ccumulate a few parts to go on I just haven't had the time to do anything.
 
- Original JDM Fog Lights. Need to be cleaned up, then fitted
- Still haven't gotten the wheel fixed or painted (but was recommended a place who seem to be able to do wonders with alloy - a place at chipping norton, I'll be giving them a go when I get a chance). quoted 100-180, depending on damage and repainting, which seems fine to me.
- New rotors from Dylan @ Gorilla industries, still not fitted
- Bushing kit, most of which still isn't fitted
 
Also had the horn decide to suddenly start working - constantly. while sitting in heavy traffic, queueing for the M4 on a very hot day... people around me weren't impressed.
 
 
 
Plus, to take up even more of my time and money I went out and bought this:
 
 
 



 
as a result, mr2 plans are on the backburner - apart from putting everything on the car that I've already bought, which should keep me busy for a few months :)

Awesome!  Had a clubman (first car), it was 1 litre and stock, skinny wheels etc, and it was a LOT of fun.  This must be a blast!  Cant beat light weight for agility.
 
Cheers
