scottkell Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I got most of the info on the coil overs here on this forum. How to lower the front struts came from another source. If you need to drop the front as much as I did you need (I believe ) 85 VW Rabbit shock cartridges. They are 2 1/2" shorter. Then you cut and shorten the length of the shock tubes to fit the VW cartridges. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RB2fast4ufool Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Very well done! Love the whole package. Did you convert to a 1975 280z tank in order to run that RB or did you use a Fuel Cell? Have any more Interior shots? I want to see your doorcards and seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dont park that thing near me or your rims might go missing boy what id do for a set of watanabes like those... Overall the car is a 10/10 period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottkell Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Interior shots are soon to come. I'm using the stock tank but thats about to change. I am ordering a bunch of new parts for the fuel system. The old fuel lines are are just to small and are putting a strain on the pump.
