Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
Cheers Chaps, Im lovin it right now, but next weekend with some spring
compressors will get it down another 15mm off the front :D
-
Knocked up this stainless steel fuse box cover today, need some velcro
dots to attach it with though.
Ive also got a cheeky little waterslide decal to go on there.
probably all need clearcoating once its on there.

Showing your usual high quality attention to detail!!! Looks excellent! Keep it up! :wink:
-

For a boot install? It would weigh a fair amount (even my little cover is a reasonable weight and thats 1mm thick) unless you remove some metal via lasercutting/swiss cheesing etc.
Oh and it looks like I need to flip my lower mount bracket round on the coilovers to gain some more drop! as I dont want to pretension the spring anymore..

I was going to ask you about where you had them to get it that low. I just picked up some ksports and have the fronts as low as they can go without preloading. Can you snap a pic of the front and rear settings next time you are under there?
-
Yeah sure probably next weekend when I flip the mount round, but I think the XYZ's go lower than Ksports, quoted 120mm max lowering on XYZ's, wether thats with the flipped mount I dont know tbh.
-
I'm really interested in this flipping of the mount if it actually allows it to go lower (just thinking through it, I think it will!)
I'm about 99% positive that the XYZ, D2 and K-Sport are all the same coilover with just different colors… anyways the pics will help - thank you!

similar yes but not the same. XYZ have a larger piston diameter and thicker shock body than Ksport.

Oh and another way of gaining extra drop that Ive just read about is to remove one of the locking collars, Im guessing the middle one!

Oh that would make sense especially if the bottom one is up near the middle it will act as the middle one anyways! I was in there again yesterday adjusting the rears another half inch lower :mrgreen:

Nice! Ive been out and about today purposely driving over speedbumps, no problem at all floating over them showing 0mph on the speedo. I think we can get more low 8)
-
Heres a nice mod I found for my
euro hotrod styling, these little valve stem covers.
-
be careful with them alloy valve caps. I used to work at a tyre garage and we often had people coming in with them siezed on. Suppose those people never checked their pressure though. Bit of copper grease to be sure though i reckon.
-
Cheers for the heads up Jim, not thought about that fact :roll:
Although I have bought these too to see if they will work with the sleeves.
Will be sure to grease them if they are alu inserts, checked my tyre pressure on the weekend and found them to be all over the show from the fitters, ranging from 20-45.
-
Now with added dice….
Thats how I roll… :wink:
-
lovin the wheels mate, are you going to stance works as hellaflush got cancelled….
-
Cheers mate, No didnt know it was tbh, will sign upto stanceworks then.
-
Well after a few hours and many different designs on
photoshop I have decided the best centre cap for me is plain black :lol:
sourced these off ebay and they pop in there perfec :D
