what did you use to get the camber in the front. just the bolts from ebay? or is it how you built the strut?

Bolts on eBay don't do enough so I slotted out the top mount so the spindle now sits on the bottom of the shock so both should be the same camber

So I scored myself a g10a swift motor with a dead clutch of a friend, motor runs fine just no plates left on the clutch...

My plan is after the mighty boy is painted and wedding is over ill put the g10a in with I hope a supercharger :)

Image

Image

Only just had enough clutch for a muck around ha ha

Also the engine bay is painted up now so while the weather is crap ill put the engine bay back together because I don't want to paint the body till its warm etc

Image

Image

Image

Image

I'm super happy with the colour :)

Also got my eye on a alto front and rear bar if I win tats lotto ha ha

Thanx mate, these were the narrowest/lowest I could find so I've got a set on the way for my Boy, I would have prefered a 155 but I'm sure these will be right.

Yer they are, I wanted 165/45/15 but I could only find 165/50/15 I remember now

There is a very big difference with the 165/45/15 compared to 165/50/15. Sidewall is very small making it alot rougher ride and very easy to smash a rim in a pothole.
