AE101 upgrade

cant wait to see pics

OK MORE PICS
I haven’t got them of the parts fitted to the car but after fitting the new sway bar I found that my front suspension is creaking as I go round corners so I had a look and all the bushes they looked a bit worn so its time for some new bushes and I think ill use nolathane bushes so that the front handles like the rear and this will stop most of the body roll in the front. these are for the non super strut
front bushes

rear bushes

all the bushes

ok all up these cost me $300nzd and im going to have a go at fitting them this weekend so ill have to tell you how it goes

nice engine bay and damn the samco hoses make a huge difference, might have to invest in some of those too good thread

very nice work there mate

ok tmie for the rear swaybar as i said it was bent so i got a new white line one dam cheep
this is a pic of the new sway bar 18mm and the old bent 12mm one if you look at the right hand drip link (sway bar link) you can see that it is sat up of the ground
and i thought it mite be a good idea to fit new drop links

shot of the sway bar in

shot of the car after all the work


i still have a lot to work on like the twin pot brakes and a sports exhaust that can go silent at the switch of a button and a mod to make the mirrors close when you lock the car (like the new cars do but i will keep you all up dated as i work on the car

looks very nice,

how does it handle now?

Looking good man.

Excellent 20v, very rare colour, top work you're doing.

i have one more set of bushes for the rear then i can say but it holds a corner now

Some good work there, keep it up

ok ive been looking at the can and i think its about time i got on the the new brakes so it looks like saturday im going to finsh the front twin pot then move on the the rear i now have all the starting parts and the twin pots are all sparyed up just need to rebuild them it only takes about 1h to fit and yaers to test them

ok thanks to some help from my mate and jamie (magweal) the twin potts are on (pics to come soon) still need to rebuild my rear brakes but twin pot is the way to go just need to get the new brake lines .

nice.. cant wait to see pics

Ok i just order the new brake lines but what a diffrence the twin pots make one of the best mods ive done to the car i just dont want to get out it handles so nice and brakes with out locking up ill find my pics and post soon

ok i set to work on the dash lights and i have changed them to led so i can seen on a night and changed the centre lights to leds and fitted the car with blue tooth and now i cant stay out of the car i just have to sort out if i want to lower it or get coilovers as i need to replace the shock and springs any one have any thoughts. that would help me make up my mind

Definitely get coilovers, they are worth the money in performance, longevity, adjustability, and ease of installation!

ok i checked the price and it $1700 nzd for a good set plus you need a sert in nz thats $600+ nzd

ok I went with standard shocks and 30mm drop spring all up cost $700 nzd pics below
new monroe gt shocks

all 4 shocks in the boxes

the front springs


ill have pics of the rear when i get them i cant wait to fit them

Let me know when you wanna fit them brotha.
