Well getting real close now.

Tried to start it last weekend, it ran rough as guts.
reset the TPS and now all good, running well.

got a few electrical things to tidy up under the dash, set the suspension up and a few bits and pieces and then it can be checked by a engineer.

it will be going a lot lower.
The 3'' exhaust is a bit lower than i hoped. but it can't be any higher.
At the moment the height is right for it to pass the inspection pits, 100mm minimum clearance is required.

it won't be a daily so i don't mind if the exhaust skims the road.

Hey Aaron,

It's possible to get 110~120mm clearance with the Datsport struts (DSK296R) and a 3" Just takes some time/patience, I can send you some pics if it will help.

Cheers,

Trent

Looking great! Don't worry, once you lower it you'll get a free DIY oval exhaust like me :lol:

Thanks Trent, I got the clearance with current struts. Just that the tire to guard gap is huge.

Waiting on engineer approval and i'm good to be let loose on the road.
Drove it back from the tuners the other day, first time driving it since 2006. big grin all the way home.
