When you get it back on the ground could you take a picture of how the front sits please? Im looking at getting a suspension kit with a bigger budget next
A shame you won't be taking on the road till the summer to test it out, but in this weather I don't blame you

All finsihed now. Might be my imagination but I think these H&R springs are very slightly firmer than the Eibachs. Sits at a very similar height to the Eibach Pro Kit springs.
Did quite well setting the rear suspension height. Got it right first time with just guessing the right height to set the arms at!

Looks spot on Paul, might get these springs when I get new top mounts, Apex springs are too harsh considering its a mild drop
Are you going to enjoy it now?

Took it out for a short run the other day, brakes are fine now too...without the airbox at 6k rpm it sounds much different to having the airbox fitted. There is a note change almost like VTEC engines give, obviously a different sound to VTEC engines but the same effect.
So I really want to drive it when it's 100% perfect...it's complete as it is but I think it could be better. So that means a Saxo/106 PAS pump, short radiator, longer trumpets, ITG sausage filter and proper Jenvey linkage...
So a few hundred quid to be spent yet.

yes a custom alu one. macj's Toyota corolla one works well, but i would like the rad to be longer but even shorter as it will sit nicer behind my front grill.
as the standard rad cowling is being removed ill be interested on how your keeping your bonnet catch as i'm having flush fitting (lockable) bonnet pins as i'm removing the top end to maximise the air flow to the inlet.

Keep the fan housing as it is. Keep the fan too.
The top radiator hose needs to be rotated 180 degrees so instead of bending upwards it bends downwards. This can be the top level of the new radiator. This will also be low enough to clear the bottom of any airfilter and trumpets you may have.
With no air conditioning fitted there is space to make the new radiator wider. There is a PAS cooler pipe down low but the radiator can be spaced a few mm higher that the old one to clear the pipe. Or move to a Saxo/PAS pump and the cooler pipe can go in the bin.
You can get the new radiator made with the same pegs at the bottom to fit the original mounts on the car.
That just leaves the top of the radiator to be supported. An aluminium bar can can made to fit across the fan housing and can use the standard top brackets to hold the radiator.
For more cooling the fan housing can be cut above the resistor hole to allow more airflow. Don't forget custom radiators are thicker than standard so the shorter height than standard shouldn't be an issue.
Doing it this way will mean no long non standard hoses are needed. There isn't much room behind the radiator for these with the oil filter and clutch release plumbing being in there.

i take it you want it as standard as possible?
as the air con rad is out the way my new alu rad is taking its place so it will sort of look like an intercooler.
also ive requested my in-let and out-let to be on the passengers side so all the piping will go to the massive empty space i have next to my oil catch tank.
also the header tank pipe will remain as it is, just a little longer as the feed is as it is on the standard rad.
and i see what your going to do but its still in the way for my liking so its all coming off lol

I have just replaced my toyota corolla radiator after a crash in last rally. This time it is still toyota but from an auto. I am doing away with the metal PS cooling pipe and using the pipe fittings in the bottom of the radiator for the gearbox cooling. I have a problem with the PS fluid boiling in stage.... hoping this will cure it.
I am going to try a different radiator next crash.... now you see why I dont buy an expensive custom one......yet
