Nice one,

I did the racing spot temporarily as well but took it off before heading overseas.

Good to see some Black NA's.

A bit of an update since this thread has been rather neglected.

Zoom door pulls fitted

Also Zoom fuel lid fitted...

With the help of some great friends we managed to fit Tein Super Street coilovers, a Garage Vary lip and the Mania CAI.

The guards have been rolled since then and i've lowered it some more, but will probably meet halfway to avoid issues clearing speedhumps and our lovely roads here in Sydney.

I also adjusted the alignment of the trailing leading edge of the lights so they lined up with the bonnet better. Since the bonnet is aluminium it tends to bend a little when the bonnet has been up for a while and the gap between the edge of the light and the bonnet opens up which doesn't look good if you are fussy like me. It's all nice now.

I have become acquanted with adjusting these LOL

I think i've done it at least 4 times now to get the ride height right without sacrificing clearance and ride quality on Sydney roads.

Here is it when it was a touch too low to be practical for me.

I found raising it was far more liveable and the ride quality improved as a result too.

FYI the later model NB strut tops were fitted all around to give more suspension travel. They fit right on top of the Tein's.
