Hey all Ive been reading here for some time but never really got to posting since there wasn't much to post about. During the winter I purchased BC coilovers, new bushing for hub/arm's/subframe, whiteline swaybar, wheel bearing's, and new pads and rotors. I am in the process now of restoring the subframe/arms/hubs/ and whatever else I can get too before bolting everything back on. I will upload pics soon, for the time being I am in a bit of a predicament. Two nights ago my garage was broken into, they stole the top half of my husky tool box with ratchet/socket set and hand tools, along with almost all the hardware for mounting everything back on. Ratchet's and socket's easily replaceable but the hardware is going to be a pain especially since Ive never found an easy way to find parts for st205 in north america . I am trying to look through chassis manual for item numbers, but they only specify the torque for the hardware. FML I will upload some pics of all the cool parts I have waiting to mount, as well as the process for which im restoring the original parts. Big shout out to Nial for the brilliant work, its people like you that inspire me to restore my st205 the best I can. I am from toronto, ON, the car is a JDM import. It is a very nice car for this type of project, never had any upgrades, really clean chasis. I plan to build it for track, not sure how far I'm willing to go yet. If anyone could help me with the hardware I would like to get as much as I can from NA before I start ordering things from across the world.

Was genuinely gutted to hear about the theft of your tools, scum like that need to suffer a slow and painful death.
Kind of proud that my work has inspired someone to undertake their own project, would offer help where I can but being in Canada and having easy access to the US market, you can probably get better stuff for the build than I can. I find paint, chemicals etc are usually better from the US than anywhere else. I just have to wait a while for it to get here. I would talk to Colin over on the OC, (gottagoturbo) he is usually happy to post things to other countries and has more parts than you can shake a stick at. Looks like it's going to be an interesting build, looking forward to seeing the project progress. -------------------- |
