Thursday, December 08, 2005 12:54 PM
yesterday the usual road i take to go home was bloked so i took another one but theres a giant speedbump on this road took it at like 15 km/h and felt the bottom of the car hit he ground,since then the car feels not so great ,more on the softy side!
I also bent my subframe brace
my engine overheats since then

on the plus side, the hit fixed a couple squeeks in the car!

but you were right? putting the stock springs on doesn't make the abuse to the stock struts go away

bah i dont care about the engine lol it leaks coolant since the beginning of summer now it overheats but i have the gasket, everything to do my port and polish andi have a turbo and a turbo manifold waiting for a test fir
now i just need a new air intake for my top feed conversion!

I think i found something not bad for next summer in term of suspension KYB GR2 (i know not ment to be on a drop) and canuck 1.6 front 1.4 rear spring set ill get the koni or Dspec later it's just that i can score some GR2 for 120$ for the 4 corners

lol i would be more worried about replacing that head gasket than putting on a turbo.

Hey. Everyone has priorities. Yours are messed up.

I think I'm obligated to tell you not to use the GR2s, to fix the coolant leak before you warp the head, and to replace anything bad in your suspension....

But I have the feeling you're not going to anyway.

I have to agree with CTS. What does it matter if you can take an off ramp at highway speeds if you need to push your car to move it. Fix the engine and THEN worry about the suspension and handleing.

Do you have enough to fix the head gasket? If not please refer to my first posting.
