So here we go again.
Plan is to fit coilovers all round, GT3 front end , side skirts keep the ducktail and then get it painted.
first off a full set of coilovers to be fitted. I've done this before and everytime I try to strip down the existing suspension bolts appear to be fused into place ! Even the steering arm taper did not want to release today, some heat sorted it, but the taper 'holder' came away as well from the front hub ! grrr
and now the normally solid one, the pinch bolt at the bottom of the shock. nut comes away, but can I move the bolt, nope. wd40, nope, heat, hope. the last time I did this I had to drill it out.
before I go that far does anyone have a trick to releasing the bolt ? apart from extreme violence !
I'll post some pics of progress when I get some
