Wheels areLinea Sport(that's what the sticker says, Made in Japan)....16 x 7" rims, +20 offset. They are 4/5 stud multifit and probably a hundred years old.

I went 17 X 8 and 9 on mine and they make the car bounce too much in my opinion so you may be right on the money there.

:D I wasn't going to but I couldn't help myself.

I bet you can't wait to drive this thing. I have just taken my car off the road to upgrade the turbo and after 2 weeks of not driving it, its killing me!


Keep up the good work :beer

I do have a stock one but unfortunately the intercooler sits directly in the path of where it sits. So I grabbed a redzone spoiler insted.

Fiddly little stuff done today.

The old indicator gasket is rooted, I ran a small bead of silastic around the inside of the indicator, squished it down with my wet finger and waited for it to dry.
Once dry I cut the inside half of the silastic off and removed it. This is because the indicator lens has a small lip around it's inside edge...hopefully the silastic will seal once the lip is seated....anyway it's got to be better than no gasket at all.
Image

Grille
There is a small Z shaped gasket that runs between the grille and the nose cone. First, cleaned the crap/dust/glue out of the grille and the gasket.


Image

Next...a small bead of adhesive along the back of the grille...wait for it to tack off then I pressed the gasket back into it.

Image

All done, gasket safely in place.

Image

Then....Hatch Struts.....the stick just doesn't cut it.

Image

Luckily I have a set of struts from a spare car. So of course you need to remove old struts. You need 17mm and 12mm spanner, philips head screwdriver. Undo all connections for the demister and the wiper after you have removed the plastic hatch cover, it should have 4 screws on the edges and 2 clips in the centre. Undo 17mm bolt from hatch then the 12mm knuckle bolt against the strut tower. Once undone the strut will drop out..easy as pie.

Re-install, do up the 12mm knuckle bolt first. Struts are handed also, the wires run on the underside of the strut. Then, using a philips screwdriver, line up the hatch and the strut and do up the bolt.

Image

And then....no more stick!!

Image

The old struts....I think they're flucked!!

Rear bumper bar

Rear bumper is held on with 4 bolts, two from above, two from below. You need a 14mm socket and ratchet. Located ......

Image

and

Image

Pretty easy to get into place, put the two bolts in underneath the car and then slide the bumper into place. Ensure the little lugs on the edge of the bumper fit into the slot in the black bracket on the side of the car. Just bang it with your hand to get it to seat properly, no real force should be needed. Put the bolts inside the boot in and tighten up, then the underside ones once you have it all lined up.

Image

Then I put in tail lights for the last time. 6 off 10mm nuts on each side.
