Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
@b0e75245ee=youdirtyfox:
OK just a quick teaser for you all of these impreza rear bumper spats on an mx3!
The contour is perfect, just need some more trimming and possibly plastic
weld the end cap back on….
did you get this done? if so hows it looking?
-
They still need a little more prep work James, plus I got to make some brackets and enquirys about getting them painted as they are very flexible I dont want the paint crackin after a few weeks!
I will be starting on the brackets this week in my lunchhour (well i get half hour) though :D
-
Lead time on the coilovers is 10 days, but the seller (XS-power)
reckons it doesnt usually take that long!
-
@9cc2591d79=youdirtyfox:
Just put my order in folks for some xyz coilovers :D :D
By the way, I wouldn't touch XYZ coilovers….. Should have gone for K-sports.
-
Coilovers IN DA HOUSE :lol:
Better get my ass better so I can fit these this weekend :roll:
-
Jealoussssssssssssss! Let us know how they feel when they're on, and of course pics ;)
-
Took alot of hard saving to get them, but it had to be done as my ride height on 15" wheel with -35mm springs is criminal!
Now its time to super dump this mofo, until i need to get over a speed bump or two!
Yeah i will give my review once there on, plus loads of pictures once I have cleaned and polished though :D

There's no point if it's no gon scrape. Just dump it and think of alternative routes :lol:
I know I could do with dropping another inch on the front of mine and possibly half an inch on the rear, already dropped 40mm.
I'll have to wait until next year for coilies and I think getting the whole underneath of the car replaced :lol:
-
Yeah man good ethic , I can still get my whole fist inbetween the wheel and the arch athe mo :o :lol:
Good things comes to those who wait :wink: :D
Need to get me a low entry jack before i dump it too low and cant get it back up again :lol:
-
Be interesting to know how low you can go, I've got k sports and slammed it so low that I had to change the rear springs as the original ones rubbed on the tyres, I just drive up on a block of wood to get a jack under the car now!! your XYZ's look very similar to my k sports…...
-
I got wood :lol:
Similar yes http://www.reallymeansounds.com/forum/ai-autosport/104899-xyz-coilovers.html
-
Also waiting on some new front drop links to arrive before I fit the coilovers as I have a feeling mine are dead!
-
..and in the mean time I flyeyed my sidelights , Cheers Lori :D
-
Well I was up at 7:30 this morning to start on fitting my coilovers,
only to discover a rounded off nut on the old drop links, so
I started removing the wishbone to cut off the offending nut
only to find the wishbone ball joint wobbly as hell!So got to wait another week now on some ball joints before I can fit these
coilovers….
-
be worth it in the end :wink:
-
Aye, for real :)
Just a little picture comparison.
ROC has sent my new ball joints out today so I can crack
on again at the weekend!
-
Bare in mind that stock springs are alot softer, so they will fall down more when put on car!
-
yeah I took some measurements on and off the car so I could
set the coilovers up to a ballpark ride height.
-
This is currently whats cookin in my kitchen :o
-
made another push to get these coilovers on today and yesterday (yes in the rain)
Was going really well till the drivers side front wishbone bolt refused to pass the sump :? So had to change ball joint and cut off drop link in situ!managed to get the fronts done and it got to about 2:30 and I thouht…
... right time for a beer :D
Set the fronts up by aligning the lower mount level with inner strut body
then wound them both up thirteen times, wich leaves about a 2 finger
gap between the wheel and arch and about another 20mm to play with
if I want to lower further 8)
Round two next weekend, then off to pro-tyres for a 4 wheel alignment.This shows my first setting before the thirteen turns up, plus I had
to move the brake line further back and as it fouled on
the wheel.
after the thirteen turns up
