Sounds great Hamish! I'm definately sold on the TCP quads.

Loving your work on the car mate!

I can imagine it would sound like a beast with a Phat dump pipe.

Quick update, process has slown due to funds going deep into some serious detailing equipment

- Tony's soon replacing the slightly crooked LD muffler.

As well as heading to Willall racing to chat about some tuning for the SA boys and getting the following done next friday:
- Getting Cusco HD rear sway bar mounts installed
- Control arm bushes
- Lower front coilovers 15mm

After a wash last week, photo from iPhone





After all of that suspension is done, going to finally get the spoiler taken off as I can't find a black boot anywhere

It sooooooo needs gloss black Brembo's............

Looks great as always Hamish. Is that the Target car park in the CBD?

Let us know what you think of the bushes considering you've done a few other suspension mods before. I thought they made a big difference when the new ones were installed (the second set my car was on were cracked quite badly). I really need to get that sway bar...

I know Mark, It's on the list to do but a lot of things have popped up.

Yeh thats the target car park hahah good eye! My GT has done 70,000kms and I assume they have never been changed.

Sway bars are great! Just need to get better mounts otherwise you might snap the stock ones

[Dropz]

Stocks generally begin to crack around 75000 and require replacing by 85000

Haha I was also just about to ask if that was the Target car park lol, I work there on the weekend if you have ever seen my Lib in the car park,

looking good, its almost a twin to mine

[hamish_023]

Some goodies finally arrived from PHAT, the last of my suspension mods to be installed on friday as long with lowering the coilovers and wheel allignment. Done at Willall racing.




Also have got some rrev eyelids on the way from US

Next mod will be taking the spoiler off.

What's that Cusco gear Hamish?

You'll be very happy with the LCA bushes

[teK--]

Swaybar end links and rear swaybar mount reinforcement.

Swaybar end links and rear swaybar mount reinforcement.

Thanks teK. I thought they were the reinforcements since I'd just installed some lol but couldn't quite make them out from the picture... And I got confused because I remember Hamish selling a set recently! Didn't get the endlinks myself so will be interested to hear what the improvement is like...

I think it will be much better, I haven't actually driven the car for a month! With all the new gear in it will be ready for a rexnet cruise the same night it's being installed. Good way to test it out!

Correct, the stock mounts and links are shit, should have upgraded when i put the sway bars in.

[Gambit]

Awesome hamish, gl with it , should be great when your done.

When I installed thicker endlinks the suspension felt stiffer (on bumps), but driving on flats there wasn't a discernible difference. The stock ones can pop apart easily when they get old or with hard driving, so upgrading them is mostly for durability.
