Time for another update :)

After finding random engine parts laying in the engine bay of the German I moved onto the Silvia....

Out with the old

In with the new...

Had a slight clearance issue on the front with the wheel catching the spring, but I had some nice 5mm ally spacers to chuck on :)

Very surprised at the ride quality :nod: Gary will laugh as he was right about the Apex coilovers I took off :D They were their comfy coilovers which have very soft spring rates (5/4) :smash: The new ones are almost twice the spring rate (9/7) so I was expecting a bit of a rough ride, but tbh with the dampers on soft it's pretty good :)

Few bits turned up yesterday, hopefully it'll brighten up a bit over the weekend so that I can get them on.
