thanks mate,

Thats made up my mind!

was only a couple of quid off but that is a very good price, top find

[OllieWestwood]

Went to Apex Performance to pick up my (Group Buy ) Subframe locking collars!

What..i hear you ask....allow me to explain!

the rear end of the 200sx is actually full of weaknesses, hence why there is so many upgrades, once the coilovers are fitted obviously the back end is going to be a lot firmer and will hold the road better

The coilovers are mounted on the subframe, there are 4 other points where the rear subframe bolts to the chassis, these mounts are made of Rubber, like a bush really and once the suspension is stiffened these give a little giving the feeling that the subframe is loose or seperate to the chassis

The locking collars fit either end of the bush giving it much more strength and a better feel to the back end loosing that vaugeness cased by the stiffer suspension

heres how they fit:




Nice simple upgrade to improve handling and with the RRP being the best part of £50 i managed to get them for a shade over £26 so almost half price courtesy of the group buy

Hmm, I reckon it might be an idea to put them back, in the name of safety and all that

And if you need me, I'm still in Wolves so I might be a while...

[OllieWestwood]

LOL

They will be put back but they might be braded lines instead

Calipers are going to be rufurbed and painted, hopefully get that sorted tommorrow and get some brake fluid too.



Seats are now cleaned and have been leather fed and are just drying

Grill has had some more fibreglass put in it, need some filler now too.

[OllieWestwood]

rear wiper motor, spindle etc all removed, just need a bung now!

[OllieWestwood]
