This is my work hack RVR.
1994 SuperSportsGear RVR.
When i picked it up was completely stock bar a K + N panel filter.
Had it for right on 6 days, and timing belt 'b' snapped and smashed the crank angle sensor in half.
So off came all the front of the motor, Ended up putting new GMB water pump, replaced both timing belts with Gates, and sourced a new crank angle sensor. Also added in a ground wire kit which has helped give me a more stable idle. basically 8g wire, i added 4 extra points in ; 1 on the front engine crane hook, 1 to where there was heap of other grounds going to, 1 on the intake manifold and an extra one to the coilpack/resister ground.
after a few fiddly hours, it was going all sweet again.
So stripped off the front bullbar, cleaned it all up, gave it a paint, removed all the side stickers and pushed out a few dents.
then had a few other small dramas, clutch master cylinder let go heading into work 1 day, so replaced that, then my cv boots split as well.
So got right into it, replaced the split cv boots, replaced the split steering rack boots, replaced the worn tie rod ends, and got it all aligned.
then few weeks ago, an offer for some cheap BF Xr6 17" rims came up, so i snapped them up.
And then scrolling through perth-evo 1 night, a cheap ( $50 ! ) set of Evo 7 stock KYB struts and springs came up, which i just could not say no too !
So yesterday spent couple of hours getting the fronts in. I used the RVR top hats on them, but had to make some bushes for the bottom as they run 2 different bolt sizes. Also elongated the top camber holes a bit so it pushed the toe back in on the front.
so went from this :
to this on the front now
hopefully the back will pull down the same when i modify the rear mounts.
Pete.
