Put the coilover on the front hub and through the top turret then put a bottle jack under the hub and jack it up till the thread comes through the turret and windy gun it up!

well i got the guys at the garage to try that, and windy gun it up, but the bolts wouldn't screw any further. true danny, i could do that. but i think i might just sell, and save for a brand new set. if i decide not to sell, i would have to get adjustable lower arms and sort my exhaust out before i went any lower.

but apart from that, i have a few things in mind i want to do but that wont be until next week or week after. will post pics when i can be arsed and im not working or in college

Keep them Might aswell just restore the thread, then either send them to avo to get a refurb if you want that, or just stick them on, will work out so much cheaper than a new set, and will be so worth it too, trust me

_________________

LOL we will see danny! for the future possibly, suppose it means i don't have to worry about getting them in the future. but when it was low, it was amazing to look at! now its good to look at, just not as good

however, ill wait on elwards reply because i did say he could have them, and i am a man who keeps his word!

will be sorting pics out probably next week, work just ram me up the arse and it takes ages for me to upload pics etc.

not sure what peoples views are on sticker bombing? after reading this months issue of fast ford, and seeing the state of my roof, i could be onto a winner!

will also be popping to a local scrappy i found out about to sort out a door! then body work will be alright once that is sorted!

peace out, ben

Stickerbombing is very hit and miss, I don't like it in large amounts on the outside of cars tbh, interior bits can look cool though.

Elward has sold his fiesta so GUTTED you have to keep them and deck the car

lmao im actually quite happy mate will get them sorted in the near future! well ill get them sorted now so i can get them on in the near future!

but yeah, i noticed a couple of zs's at your meet had em. i know its defo a marmite, i think id like it, but then again i dont want to plaster the roof of the car and be like hmm, shit lol.

well here's the pictures promised (with new wheels, a good clean, led reg light and led side lights avec my si badge!)

the pictures were taken down a local country road (some great corners and straights for a good laugh!)

even had a girl stop and ask if everything was alright




getting this badge was very important for me, to show what it is to people who have no idea about them!


standard

led

led sidelights


the issue with this car is that it's been an on going struggle with disappointments and just plain simple heartbrake.
i know people have had much more difficult issues to sort out, which have probably cost a lot more and make mine seem like shit all!
after first inheriting the car, i just fell in love with it. gay but true!
first issues were new wishbones and a new exhaust!
then new front tyres.
then onto the mods. now im at where im at and im still having issues. after finally getting all the bits i wanted to make the car how i wanted too, it just cant give me a bloody rest can it?
and to finish you off, you have cocks beating the shit out of it, making the paint work look crap, denting the body work, and i wonder, the work i want to put in and the stress ive had of trying to do some of the work myself, is it even worth it?

and now realising the rear of the car isnt even level... its really taking its toll with me, and i have a lot going on, and this just simply, doesnt help.

i really need someone to get me back on track with her, i feel im just loosing the plot

Thats what owning an Si does to you.

Something will always be wrong with it and you'll always be fixing something.

I learnt that and then fucked the engine after spending near on £500 on getting it working. for about 4 months of driving.

If your cars ever running right for more than a month i'd be shocked. at least its only small things for now...
