If you want to run at a lower ride height you wind the bottom platform of the coilover down, you will eventually run out of damper travel, and run on the bump stop. If you run the top mount above rather than below you can wind the bottom platform back up for the same ride height, and gain a further inch in travel.

 

Can I mail someone a photo of my setup to add to this post, I have taken this one step further..

 

 

are here are your pics

Sorry for OT but is it possible to get some more pictures of that car? It looks really interesting.

[Spiky 37]

well decided to give the whold engine bay a lick of paint, so most of it is out

 

 

 

can you tell the difference between the RJ's? one is 4x as expensive as the other?

 

[Spiky 37]

Bought a 309 ARB and sent it off to get powder coated, looks OK,, bit pitted in areas but overall i'm happy with the job

Looks nice spiky,

 

The pitted you ahve happends some time with rusted aera's..the powder coat reacts with it..

 

fitted the aerocatches on you bootlid yet ?

[Spiky 37]

yeah, it's looks much better as it is, so i'm happy

 

no didn't get chance

 

tonight i'm in the garage, hoping to get the bay sanded and maybe primer on,

 

if i still have time i will have a go at the rear hatch

[Spiky 37]

had a few hours spare, so rubbed the bay down a little, and gave it some no rust stuff and etch primer, and some normal primmer

 

it's not going to be the best of jobs, as it's getting done quick but should look a bit better

 

her are some random shots

 

 

 

[Spiky 37]

now i have a small issue, i want to put the aero catch on the rear, but the very end of it will not be flat with the tailgate, would this look stupid? even if i was to take up the gap with some black polyuthrene sealent?

 

here the issue

 

 

 

[taylorspug 7]

It will look a bit pants like that imo. Can you not run a bit of heat into the plastic as you screw it down and mould it into shape?

[Spiky 37]

thats not a bad option..

 

i've been having a another look, and i think i should be able to move it over a touch more

 

so will see

[welshpug 1,661]

will they not fit at 90 degrees to what you have them now?

[Spiky 37]

not checked

 

 

BRB...lol

[Spiky 37]

yeah, they would actually fit that way

[welshpug 1,661]

[arnold naber 2]

Hmm.. o you could fit the aerocatch..

 

im a bit curious how you fit the (horizontal /vertical) because i could find enough room

[Craigo 0]

love your car spiky, its inspirational!!

[Spiky 37]

i wouldn't called it that last night ...lol

 

thank god for my gas heater, wow it would have been damm cold otherwise.

 

hopefully get tghe rear hatch fittings done this week, then the bonnet, then send them and the front valance off for paint

 

then finish painting the bay and get the engine back in

[Spiky 37]

Done some work on the car tonight

 

gave one side of the engine bay a lick of paint, then run out....pmsl

 

 

 

 

and i fitted the aerocatch's into the rear hatch, quite pleased with the results

 

[Spiky 37]

well went and got another can to finish 3/4's of it off now, so only a section to do, and the new tunnel so will get some more paint for that

 

here are more pics, i used the digi cam this time not my phone..lol

looking good matey

when you planning for this phase to be finished?

[Spiky 37]

once painted, and pedal box back (mate copying it) the car is going back together and will enjoy it

 

nothing else i need/want to do

[Spiky 37]

as the painting has finished now, i've started to put things back on the car

 

i've bought a new universal waster bottle so i can relocate the washer bottle inside the car, to give me the room for my relay's and junction box

 

 

 

 

 

 

placed the templates on the bonnet now too, ready to cut them out

 

 

 

 

 

[bren_1.3 1]

hmmm any pictures of the universal washer bottle? im about to do the same but was using the original washer bottle instead. if its a neater solution than mine ill copy what youve done?

[Spiky 37]

I'm going to fit mine either in the passenger footwell, or in the passenger rear qtr

 

here is what i bought, i'll get more pics later if you want???

 

it came with pump, pipe, button to use it (but not needed as i will run with the OE wiring
