Photoshoot day

Mölsäpictures and had a nice day photoshooting our cars, day before I sold my (grey) Impreza. 

Subaru Forester on bags

When I decided to by a Forester, I decided to lower it with bags.  Not just a bags. I wanted it to be easy to use also to my wife. (and of course to me).
I picked up a set from Lowtoys and started the installation. Very easy with professional parts: Airlift and Accuair.
Not bad for a two day installation ;)

Set is:
Airlift Performance struts
Accuair E-level, i-level and VU4
Viair 444 Compressors

That old Nissan

Damn! I love this thing! Sadly we dont have this two door model here up north. We only have the four door model, which isn't so beatiful and simple looking. 

Need to open the ebay or something to find similar like this one..

Nissan suspension work

Finally Nissan got a new suspension setup..just test fitted..

We used Nissan 350Z (K-Sport) coilovers. It just need minor modification to the K-Sport fixing points. Aluminium plates and welder up front and lathe an lasercutting on rear.

I will take better pics for those susp. parts lately.

Car is (again) jacked up right now and I´m ripping all off (again). Everything´s going to have sandplast and powdercoating. Will also use new ball joint, tie rod end, all rubber parts, bushings.. everything is going to be fixed.


Front coilover:

Front installed:

 Rear hub with shock adapter:

 Rear installed:

Test drive pic. There was 6cm space under the car. I still can lower the front end about 3cm and rear end 8,5cm. With a different tyre size also will lower the car about 1,5cm. (I will use 195/45 on 15x9")

JDM Nissan Bluebird SSS Turbo-X Hardtop -84

I got new project for those dark winter nights :)  It might be a Kyusha style-car or.. dont know yet.

This car was imported to Finland in 1997 and after 2008 there was no use for it. With new battery and altenator belt everything works fine.
It has only few damages (dent) on its body and rear fenders are little rusty too.

With (active) suspension the ride was very comfy. It´s not fast with 1.8 litre turbo engine, but still pleasant to overtake other cars..it weights only 1020kg.

Dark Side Garage

Week a ago, I was visiting my friends garage (dark side garage) in Helsinki. Inside the garage I found few ongoing project-cars, mostly JDM-versions. These guy´s are real JDM nuts.. :)
I didn´t take much pics, `cos I took measurements for a subwoofer enclosure to AW11 (Toyota MR2) and I and Maladar also did few vinyl stickers at the same time.. But here is something to remember..
