Just get the KYB's. Coilovers are bloody hard as a rule and the car already has quite a hard ride.

I can help with the centre console bits (brand new genuine). As people say,they arent cheap, but they are the best option as 2nd hand ones are really brittle and just as likely to break when you are trying to put them in.

    Welcome to the club!

    Well, you certainly have your work cut out for you! Hopefully we can help you source the parts and give you the advice you need :) You never know, after you spend the cash fixing her up, you might have had good value knowing that you only got her for $2K initially!

    Battery is working again. was f**k all fluid in the cells. so i topped them up and got a jump.

    first thing is buy a new battery.
    also does anyone else have a clunking sound when going into third gear?
    First thing to do is getting your transmission serviced because that clunk noise usually means big bucks.

    Nope, just different chassis code. DE2A is the GS model - 4 cylinder running a 4G93. DE3A is for everything else that runs a 6A12 - MIVEC and non-MIVEC - so GR, GX, GPX, GPvR.
