Expect some proper tail out action once the LSD's fitted, theyre great fun...

yeh the diff was down at the specialist for about a month. they had to make up special tools for the lapping machine to fit the crown and pinion. so that took a while. i have been really anxious to get it back. cant wait

got the diff in today. took it out for a run. its great so far. quite defferent to the open wheeler action im used to. will take abit of getting used to, i got the back out a few times. not trying to just getting alittle exctied on the throttle.


one question though. when the car is jacked up and you turn the wheel there is a little bit of freeplay before splines mesh. is this normal. dont wanna tear up the splines

these rocked up today finally.


so i got to assembling the struts. after a bit of confusion with the locking nut that GAZ supplied i eventually got them together with no dramas. ready to go in after i put some grease thru the new bearings after work tomorrow :)




they are actually new ventelated discs. i put them on the night before my old esky burnt down. only done about 15klms and luckily not warped

nice mk2. i do like the look of the green one! in fact i would be happy with either!

i would be interested to know what was needed to the motor to fit the single side draught.

i have a 45 dellorto, a manifold and an unleaded 1600 xflow motor to go into my mk2.

cheers cjdeane10. i bought the motor with the webber already hanging off the side but its basically just manifold and a fuel/choke/vaccum lines as far as im aware.
the important thing to remember is that just bolting a bigger carbie on the side may make it run worse. it really needs to be tuned to each indivudal engine or it may run worse. i know mine desperatly needs to be set up correctly but im waiting untill i have rebuilt the motor for that.



anyway i got the coilovers in. bit of a hassle with the adjustable strut tops with missing peices but its all together now.
i also put some bumperetts on. i wasn't sure how they would look with square headlights but i quite like the way it turned out





and how its sitting at the front.

Yeeha! Looks nice Scott.

That's got some nice attitude at the front now mate. Looking real nice.

I LOVE those rims. I need to get off my ass and take the angle grinder to my esky... but i chicken out lol. But once the flares are on I will get me some challengers.

Ive freed up some money and am looking at doing some coilovers for my car and your set up seems like what im after.
Gaz adjustable front inserts from smacka = $410
Coil over convention parts from smacka = $170
Eccentric strut tops from smacka = $302.50
Springs from king springs = $???

So i guess what im asking is what are the specs of the springs you have? Oh and what is your opinion on the eccentric tops? I was reading a UK forum and they seem to think you would only bother if its a full on race car. Im looking for a pretty stiff setup just enough give in the front to get rid of the bumps along the freeway.

If your able to help that would be great.

Again both ya eskys look awesome =)

that stance is wicked... got the lsd in yet?
