Just go alixpress man, that one you linked looks exactly like the aliexpress one.

Buy 5 at once and sell them for profit, I bought 5 last time and made about $30AUD on each one I sold.

So i started working on the car again after it sat for months.

Car is currently on stands and will be for a few months.
Plan is to go through and start restoring the car.

I have started pulling the exhaust off. Removed front bank extractor and still going through the process of the rear bank, removed the top 3 bolts, just need to drop the y pipe so i can get to the bottom four.



All my coilovers have seized, some c**t stole all my tools, including my lug nut tool, so will be removing them shortly to try and un-seize them. anyone got any advice on how to un-seize? read some threads on the drift forums and they said to soak in Coke or Vinegar.

Waiting on parts to come in so i can do more work
. Front lower ball joint
. Front and rear sway bar links
. New Stepper motor
. Inner and outer tie rod ends
. Fuel Filter

Going to order the rear camber arms either this week or the next

I finally got around to ordering the WORK wheel bolts for my VSXX wheels and also purchased the polishing kit for my wheel lips. Just need to get the tyres removed.

Will be going through and doing general servicing Gear box oil, Radiator fluid, Brake fluid.

Car wont be getting any attention for the next two weeks or so. Recently purchased a Manual BA XR6 Turbo that is going through RWC so will be working on that during the next week.

Will update as i work on car and buy new parts

Not much has happened since last update
Parts have started arriving
Ball joint, Tie rods and Tie rod ends, Drop links, Stepper motor and Fule filter all arrived.
Have not had a chance to change anything yet.
Still have not removed the Y-Pipe and rear manifold, was going to do it today but i didn't have my socket set on hand so will need to wait.

I changed some parts previously and never uploaded pictures so took some.

Image

Camber Arms came in fitted those.
Removed my coilovers, going to try and unseize them. Anyone got any ideas to do this? was going to soak in Vinegar or Coke?

Also purchased a Front splitter, not 100% on it though. What you guys think?

Image

Started to clean up wiring to front indicators and foglight.
Will test fit Bumper with Splitter in coming weeks.
Next thing will be to unseize coilovers and fit the new Tie rods and Tie rods ends, Fit new front ball joints and replace end links

Good progress. Not sure on splitter. Looks like it's a bit long but not quite deep enough to reach the back of the bumper? (if that's what you want)

Also why'd you fit the extractors if you want to wrap them? :lol:

Yeah its one of those universal ones. doesnt quite fit the bar 100%. Might be able to mod it abit to fit better. But your right it is defiantly not deep enough.

Well i wasnt thinking when i fitted them, and after i decided i want to wrap them. But i cant be bothered removing them so will try wrap whilist on the car. Rear will be a pain in the ass. May need to remove.
