So I have a few updates.
When i got the car it was just over 80 000km with a service done already. I decided that i will service the car every 10 000km's.
The car currently has FSH so i was contemplating whether to keep that going or to do it myself going forward. Long story short, i purchased the service kit, brake pads and the cambelt & tensioner from Goldwagen.
I bought the parts before 90 000km and ended up servicing the car on 88 700km. I still need to fit the brakes this weekend and hopefully get enough time to do the cambelt as i passed the 90 000km mark and is now priority. I tend to suck at pictures so bare with me.
Parts for the job. Goldwagen did not have stock of the Hx5 or 7 oil unfortunately.
Comparison with the old & new air filter
Comparision with the old & new spark plug
Onto a more exciting update.
After what felt like forever, i finally purchased a set of coilovers.I was a little disappointed in finding out that FK does not manufacture a kit for an Mk1 as that was the brand i intended to go for. Nevertheless, I ended up with JOM Bluelines.
Surprised myself as I was one of the many believers that JOM is not as good as Maxtrac in terms of "budget" coilovers, however, not to sound bias. I do find the JOM on my citi better than the Maxtrac on my E46. Although to be fair, i still had the helper spring on which does cause a more sniffer ride & i also went lower on the Maxtrac.
But speaking on the JOM, it gives a surprisingly soft ride and handles better on a rough road.
Anyway, onto some pictures :
Removed the standard shocks
I was too lazy to use springs clamps so i decided to open the shock far away from the car.
Coilover installed.
I initially set the car very low not knowing the right adjustments at the time.
Alignment done.
End result.
Thanks for reading!
