Mneh. The strut & shock were FiretrUCKED, spent whole night re-building the struts. The right lower control arm snapped, I didn't know any near place where I could get new struts (that I could drift with), I decided to fix them myself. They won't stay forever strong, but at least hopefully I find professional drifting struts. I welded the snapped part together, & built a "shield" around it so it won't go in half when it snaps at the same position again. But how whole night? Well, first I couldn't get the strut out & second was that I did the shield also to the left strut. Since I am a bit OCD they could NOT have been different. I doesn't look so mad problem on the picture, because that was the position of it where I could get my rim off. In the first place when strut snapped, wheel hit my quarterpanel & slammed the lower part of it quite in...
I bought 2 KSport slide control (or whatever it is lol) shocks for front. I still run with the stock cut springs doe'.
I knew I had to lift my car higher a bit as was hugging the ground almost everywhere, which isn't good, especially if you're drifting. I built bought some sort of spacers for springs that the car would be higher then.
New set of rims rolled on my S14a (well now they roll with the car). They're Fikse FM10 (19inch). I don't feel that yellow suits my current "PJ", but they were last set of FM10's in the shop (they're doing warehouse sale, most of stuff up to -20%! Go check it out at CC Jap shop, well it's in Arizona. Tell 'em that Caspar suggested, it's my brother's shop). I got the rims with nice Dunlop tyres (255/30). When I was back in the shop again I saw the funniest & maddest JDM steering wheel ever...
However, my favorite thing arrived, bodykit! It's bloody cool. That was one of the reasons also why I had to raise my car. I ordered it from Japan's UP Garage. I like these bumpers so much I take off them every time I drift lawl... Thanks for spending your time reading this part of my project, please leave a comment!
