Yesterday I set out to replace my stock suspension with Koni & H&R presented itself to be quite the challenge. 70% of course was my own inexperience in what to do and maybe 90% of it was bolts never ever unbolted before (since ’91) and 100% of the challenge was probably running out of beer :).

Regardless I got the new suspension on (minus the swaybars) and today I installed a Skunk2 short shifter.. All feats weren’t easy.. all required help from dad :P.. but the car is likely better for it..

Up next on my list is a set of Crower cams & a B16 cable tranny (if I can find one). Both challenges (I’m guesing) will make the suspension upgade & short shifter upgrade laughable..

Overall though… wakeing up this morning (and consequently all through out the day) the stiffness from what I supposed to have got from the shocks & springs has instead transferred to my achey muscles..

What a day.. But atleast my car looks better 😀
