Sad to see the 323 had an accident. Given the amount of money youve invested be sad to see it go

When I crashed a Lakeside, I had my car in at the mechanics the next day, as I had a motorkhana 5 days later. Dave my mechanic wrote "Chuck Norris was 'ere" in whiteout pen on the panel damage. |

Put on new headlight and indicator this afternoon, (thanks Catherine).
And beat the crap out of the bonnet with a hammer and cardboard to put it back into shape. Now have a legal drivable car now. |

Got half way through the coilover swap.
The rear kit has one of those swaybar bracket setup that screw up and down the damper. Which means at a minimum, it sits 75mm higher on the damper than the regular bracket. So now i need end links that are longer than the standard endlinks. More waiting. |

So the end link bracket is normally in line with the top strut feet bolt hole. as you can see, it is not much higher on the strut. Also has a 12mm hole, not a 10mm hole like stock size. |
