Yes, that could be possible but since it starts as long as its cold its weird. But i have bought a electric fuel pump and when i mount that i will try to clean the tank, again..

3x sets of springs and 1 pair of shockabsorbers.

3X sets with springs
2X coilover units
2X airfilters, good to have.. :)
1X bra reduce valve
1X muffler that im not sure if i will use or not
And some small things.


Hopefully i will get the frontend abit lower and a bit stiffer now! And the reducevalve for the brakes is for when i do the brakeupgrade.
Hopefully i can get the car to handle OK atleast. I actually dont have my hope that far away, but thats just so i dont get crazy ;)
I will try to get started on the car for the weekend, now that i have some parts i just want to get started :D

Brake adapters made up!

Testmounted:

Fits perfect!

No difference than the original? :) Should make it stop nice!

Just left to redrill the discs or the hubs.. What whould you do? To do the discs is easiest, but if I will change them I have to do it again, no big job though.. I think I will do the discs!
Then there is just some brakelines, tyres etc. Have to have atleast 14" with this brakes but should be nice!

Today i got another package! But now the payment from the summer is starting to run out! :(
I guess nobody is that interested in the package though, so no need to post pics or anything I think..
Now I will be away for the weekend, and will get started with the new things sunday afternoon or on monday!
