then i hit a problem Sad

major missfire, terrible idling and slight oil leak from rocker cover, bought a set of plugs, replaced rocker cover gaskets and stripped the maf sensor down and re soldered it all, moved the boost controller too as someone had fit it to the wrong intercooler hose causing it to boost spike.
problem solved Big Grin

then these came Smile

new set of hsd hr coilovers.

nice new stance and some stickers adding

then i went for a trip to slide motorsports to get the diff welded and wow!! what a difference, with the hsd fit and welded diff the back end it unbelievably tight and feels awesome to drive and drift.

took her to japfest 2 Smile

Looking good, it's amazing the difference you can make to the look of a car just by changing the ride height a bit!

r33 drift car :) - AaronR33 - 30-05-2020

Looks great mate! How do you rate those hsd coilovers? Been looking at getting some for my civic.

r33 drift car :) - leedscal - 30-05-2020

they are brilliant mate (for price they should be!! lol)
my skyline had teins on before and these just blow them out of the water, what hsd's are you looking at mate?

The same ones as yours, the HR series. Just trying to weigh up whether to try and get some or to just get springs, its a bit price difference!
