Just ordered some bits from the US (935motorsports.com). Whiteline Handling Pack - ST185 - GT4 Club (adjustable rear ARB, and most of the bushes needed for the car) Exhaust Depot 2.5" Stainless Downpipe And from Japan (takakaira.co.jp) Cusco Type ST Front Strut brace.
I'm going to leave struts and springs for the moment, and see how that little lot tightens up any age related creaks, rattles and rolls.
I think I will need to add a Cusco lower front brace to totally tighten everything up, but what I've ordered so far should help.
I guess after nearly 15 years, the original CAT must be totally colapsed by now, if the state of the Lambda that I replaced was anything to go by.
And this weekend, I get the joy of changing the thermostat, with the associated swinging the Alternator out of the way, and maybe even having to drop the aircon pump out of the way too. Should be a 10 minute job + refill+bleed, but I reckon I'm looking at a couple of hours to do right.
Going to change the coolant and rad hoses (for some nice blue Samco ones) at the same time as I don't fancy the chances of my old hoses sealing 100% as it has been so long since they were last moved I reckon.
