Arran Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Another update for the books, had some parcels turn up this week for the near enough final preperation of the euro trip in 2 months HSD coilovers Eibach 20mm front and 25mm rear pro spacers Purchased one of these rear view cameras, uses half the number plate light location Finally got some of these carbon side badges, nice subtle change really pleased with these Will be getting it all on in the next couple weeks, then will be getting it alligned for a fast road setup. Wheels will also be sent off for refurbishment aswell, still undecided on wether to get some lightweight wheel nuts to finish it all off Cheers all Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looking forward to seeing this! Can I ask where you had the carbon badges from? mine are looking pretty sorry for themselves and would make a good upgrade. Also, where is your Euro trip? Myself and misses are planning our Euro roadtrip right now we are doing a 2 week trip early July. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looking forward to seeing it all fitted, thank you again for the order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Cheers guys, dave I may need a hand with this camera soon if you don't mind? Don't fancy screwing it up Matt I got the badges off here someone was selling them, there aren't many around though that's the problem. My trip is a week long going from Calais through Belgium, Luxembourg and France the first day then through Switzerland and Italy for the stelvio pass for the second day, Italy to Germany third day, nurburgring fourth and fifth day then back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 So another update for the books Put the HSD coilovers and Eibach spacers (25mm rear and 20mm front) on last week, let them settle for a week until after work tonight as i wanted to just the coilover height and make sure all the spring preloads were equal etc, removed all the suspension and measured everything and adjusted accordingly, the rear was left the same height as it was perfect from the first fit but the front i wanted down another 10mm roughly, found the perfect front height after adjusting them down 7mm, specific i know but now its perfect still got the damping adjustment set on full soft so the coilovers can bed in (100 miles) then il go and find a big space to play with the damping settings so i get it spot on before nurburgring, great thing about the HSD's is the damping is adjustable via a knob on the top mounts so its literally 30 seconds to adjust each shock Cant believe the difference both parts have made to the car both ride/height wise and cosmetic looks, really really pleased! Heres some pictures from this evening of how she stands now There we have it for now, This weekend il be going to Kaizer motors to get the allignment sorted then off to Surrey vinyl wraps to have the roof, mirrors and front bumper lower bar wrapped in gloss black. Looking forward to another transformation Stay tuned folks Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Cheers Yeah the coilovers make a big difference, still on softest setting for now though until theyre run in, then il play around with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 More updates for the diary Went to Kaizer motors early saturday morning to have the beast alligned, front went back to being fine but the rear wouldnt go any further back in than 2.5 degress camber also whilst there enquired about the rear subframe bush, Sly was confident it wast a huge job so got on the phone to Cougar store and ordered the Whiteline rear subframe kit and Eibach rear adjustable camber arms and toe bolts, booked in with Sly this week to have the rear subframe dropped and all bushes fitted along with the Eibach goodies and re alligned back to normal After visiting Kaizer (Very proffesional i must add and a lovely workshop! not to mention huge amounts of Nissan certificates and awards) i went to Surrey Vinyl Wraps to have my roof and front bumper bottom bar wrapped in gloss black, also had my front grill sprayed gloss black at works bodyshop to make it tie in with the bar. Here are the results Thinking of doing the mirrors and rear spoiler in gloss black to just waiting on a few photoshops to come back to me to make a decision What you think? Cheers Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynB85 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Looks good mate, how much did they charge to wrap the roof? Want to get mine done, i was going to have a bash myself but would get it done professionally if it doesn't cost too much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Looks good mate if I were you I'd do the wing mirrors in wrap but not the spoiler it will stick out like a saw thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Cheers guys Martyn I bought the hexis vinyl and took it to them, was 80 for both parts, far cheaper than I was quoted elsewhere. Done a great job on it really pleased Pete I was thinking that the spoiler would stick it was just thinking that because the front and top have black maybe the rear needs something to tie it in aswell, I reckon il do the mirrors and go from there once I've seen photoshop pictures Nice subtle but different look the black has added, really like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
