standard suspension with newish shocks in.
So much more comfy and nicer to drive. And its good to not see the daughter lifting 6" off seat over every bump

Small update

Picked up a GT40R coil and resistor cheap brand new.
Fitted it this arvo, turned key and it started.. goodo.

Just went out now to move car and it wont fire up. being dark i cant fiddle, but everything is connected and nothing is happening.

Curious to know if having a resistor has dropped the volts too much to make it start when cold?
Volts gauge is reading just over 12.3v when ignition on. dunno if that helps or not, and drops to around 10ish when cranking.

Edit, think i got it.
There a wire runing from fusebox to coil + which has a built in resistor, and ive gone and added a external resistor. so this would lower the voltage again yes?

If so is the GT40R suited?

Going to borrow a multimeter and do some testing tomorrow

Disconnected Ballast resistor as i found the wire built into loom that is resisted anyway.
Car starts now

Fitted New Water Temp gauge and re did wiring to the amp and oil pressure gauges.
Tidy up interior and neaten wiring up under dash so its no hanging around.

Couple of pics
Dont mind messy engine bay, still got to fit new Fuel hoses, and tidy up some others.

A wheel/tyre shop perhaps?

[GRN_VAGN]

Cant just walk in asking for a "wheel bolt long thingy that goes in rim sorta thing"

And which ones josh? the 15's? thats what i got on it atm
