Right, unfortunetely I couldn't find my post from the UK forums which was slightly more updated which would of saved me all the write ups.
Not to worry, I'll post up some more recent pics in order of how recent they are.
Also I'll add some brief descriptions.
As you can see from the first set of pics, suspension is all standard. I bought some MeisterR Zeta coilovers for her, here are some pics after fitting the front set on.
The rear suspension could not be changed as the rear LCA bolt snapped due to being seized...very common as you know with EG's.
Then week after, drilled out the bolt and replaced the rear suspension, this is how she sat for a while.
Rear window tints and wind deflectors were removed as I wanted a cleaner look.
Then, on a wet evening in an unknown area, I assumed a corner was 45 degree, when in fact it was a blind sharp 180 degree bend and ended up understeering towards the barrier. Managed to twitch the car using the handbrake to avoid a head on collision which probably would of killed her.
Learnt my lesson, no matter how well you prep to take a nice line for a corner, NEVER do it unless you know the corner and possibly when it's dry too lol.
This was the aftermath;
Rear arch grinding the tyre
After this happened, I was contemplating whether to start from scratch. I thought, what's the point, I will revive her to an even better standard.
Oh, the pics were from my iphone, terrible terrible quality, my car looks orange, it's actually red heh.
Anyway, this gave me the excuse to actually have a new rear arch done, wish I'd done the other side.
Quick pic a day after the repair/spray. Also with my 16" Slipstreams on.
A few more pics another night.
A few months later, had a full fresh D16z6 rebuild with all OEM parts. Existing pistons and crank were the only parts re-used. Old engine out of the bay ready for new fresh D to go back in!
New ready and waiting
In it goes
Linkages and everything else being reconnected;
A few months after that I bought some new wheels. Rota Zero Plus's
Mental camber
Since then I've sold the wheels due to the mad offset. Had rear arch scrapage issues. I've been back on the slips for a while, but I have a nice set of new wheels arriving tomorrow.
I have done SOO much more from what you've seen, but I'm due to update my photos on my car soon though. Stay tuned.
