So after taking her home I spent the next week or so completely tuning her up. Belts, Filters, Plugs, Oil, the whole nine yards. I also did my best to try and pop out that huge dent in the Drivers Side Fender. I gave her a quick bath, and I re-polished the Chromed Steelies back to their original shine and ended up with this beauty afterwards:
The Inspection was already needing to get done, so I slapped on a set of stock GC Suspension I had laying around and she passed with flying colors
. That was a week ago and I now have my Tein Type-HR Coilovers ready to mount up finally. Adjustable Ride Height, Adjustable Front Camber with Pillowball Mounts, Helper Spring equipped, Twin Tube Design, all the good stuff:
This picture is kind of crappy, taken under extremely sunny high noon conditions. The car looks 10 times better in person, the tires tuck in nicely, the Teins are nice and stiff. Very little body roll and if you can believe it, no rubbing. Well, a little in the Rear under heavy cornering, but nothing I can't fix, no rubbing over bumps though:
This is a comparison of what Suspension the Leggy has had these past several weeks. The Fail-bags it came with on the Left, the GC Suspension in the Middle, and of course the Teins on the Right:
Aw heck, I even threw on a GC Rear Strut Bar. Carbon/Aluminum. A little trimming and slotting and it fit perfect:
The Cover still fits and it still extends and retracts, the only thing I have to do is trim a slot into the Speaker covers so I can put those back on. I'll take care of that at work on Monday with a cut-off blade to try and make it look as clean as possible.
