Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
Finally got around to getting the front lip re-joined.
Still have lots of work to do once the guy doing the repair has restrengthened the holes and joins.
Also polished my rear lights.

Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
I picked up a set of RS*R Ti2000 lowering springs from Dell'Orto. 3.15kg/mm front and 5kg rear. Possibly 100% stiffer over stock.
Hopefully make the car handle better and look better. 20-30mm drop. Ideally I would get new adjustable Koni Yellows to go with them but funds won't allow at this point.

Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
After a bit of trouble getting one of the strut top nuts off I finally managed to install the new springs. CRC and a bit of determination with a breaker bar got it undone.
Before After There is at least a 30mm drop front and rear.

It's got the engine from the red AE82 FXGT hiding in the background.

Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
Thanks. I am really happy with the way it looks now. I also like how it sits much flatter through corners.

Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
I have entered a few photos for January.
My work mate has let me borrow his 10-22mm lens for my camera so I will hopefully get some more photos to add to this thread. Quite a wide angle lens so you can get some creative shots.

Looks like your up against some stiff competition for the January slot.

Re: GDII's 1990 G-Limited
Yes it does. Two MR2s vs one. You live in a better part of the country too.
