I started working on the car, and finished a few small items before starting to install the coilovers tomorrow or so. I need to finish by WED night, since I'll drop it off to race shop for corner weight balancing and alignment, and by THU night, I need to load it up to my trailer for the trip over the weekend.




I'll be using wheel cribs for the quick height measurements as I work on the coilovers. Due to water extraction requirements, the garage floor is not completely flat, though.



I have ABS sheets to use as spacer to balance it out.


This should roughly work. The fine tuning will be done by the race shop anyway.


I'll be measuring frokm the bottom lip of the wheel to fender, since I can never do it perfect from the center of the wheel, and I can always convert measurements used from the wheel center by offsetting them by 8.5".


Next up, let's roll the fenders! I'll use 3M VHB to re-attach that plastic accent piece.




The other side cut and painted with rustoleum.


I have the roller tool. It was pretty easy.


There's some kind of silicon by the lip. It came off as I rolled it.


This is how the piece looks like. I trimmed the bottom section that sticks out.


Trimmed the piece and put on the VHB tape.


I'll leave it like this for a day to increase my 'odds' : )


Mildly rolled the fronts as well. The caliper is on the way for one side, and put a soft piece of paper to not hit it hard by mistake.


I'll update with coilover install, soon.
