are the coilovers height and damper adjustable?

yes they are, have camber adjustable plates aswell,


these are pretty much the same as the d2 coilovers, except there much better, and they are super cool buddy club ;)


and there perfect for street use, they are slightly harsh (being coilovers) but very controllable. just right imo.

they have 6kg front springs and 5kg rear springs

what info do you need mate?


the engine will need to be stripped, block skimmed and then rebuilt.


the engine does not knock and starts on the key.

the head was recently skimmed, and it had a cambelt kit including new pulleys and belt tensioner fitted on it 2000 miles ago.

the cambelt should be replaced when engine is taken apart though.

when the head was off, all valves were lapped and reseated

yes it will mate.

but you will have to remove the crash bar on the glanza, which apparently is not a good idea

ah

well apparently taking it off gives the car more flex and makes it less stable and also if you have an accident apparently.

Actually Ricky this is a Kit 1. It was first bought by me from JD before he diappeared. This is a great turbo IMO, it seems to spool up slightly quicker than the standard CT9 and you are at full boost at 3500-4000 revs. After 5000 revs it just seems to go mad power. I loved it:rockon:

well to be fair i could get £200 for it in peices, if i sold the crank, head and cams.


i need as much money as poss so i can pay my loan off straigth away, but if i cant shift everything then i cant break the car.
