TEIN-inized! Part 2.

I always wonder how did people found / make an adjustable for a car that doesn't have any aftermarket parts. Bought this set of adjustable from a friend, so I'm consider to be lucky coz I dont need to go to machine shop to customize it. Just need to reassemble it. And today I learned something.

1) First, you need a few stuffs. From the left,
*S13 adjustable ( Earlier I thought it was TEIN coz of the color and TEIN logo on the coil, maybe a custom one perhaps.).
*A pair of Mazda 808 absorber that had been modified the 'tapak' to fit in the custom parts.
*And a pair of absorbers, I got a pair of 'Kayaba Climbing Gear' which I think its a 4x4 absorber.

2) Remove your rim. Zzz, no wonderlah my brake feel spongy, the brake hose is leaking.

3) Remove your original absorber. And we replaced the brake hose that come with the adjustable.

4) What we took from the original absorber is the bolt hub or whatever you call it. Why? Coz this hub had been converted to PCD 114.

5) Fitting the old hub on the custom 808 adjustable 'tapak'.

6) Then, remove the adjuster from the S13 adjustable. This one is easy to remove, the other one; Jaguh need to 'hydraulic press' it using house tools.

7) Taraa. A custom adjustable for Mazda 808 is born.

8) Slot in the 4x4 absorber in the housing and tighten it. And after that, put back the top mount. Im using the top mount given, not mine.

9) Assemble the hose with the caliper.

10) Unfortunately for me, the top mount does not 'ngam' and the old one didnt fit the 4x4 absorber. So, we decided to drill the body to fit in the top mount. Just a minor drilling.

11) This is how it look now. We put a thick washer as a safety precaution but in the picture, this is temporary fitting so no washer this time.

12) The new adjustable looks.

13) Adjust the desired height. This is the lowest I can get, but decided to raise it a bit to half finger at the fender.

14) Jaguh noticed that the car has a negative camber now. Can anyone explain to me why suddenly it has a negative camber?

The other side? Well, Jaguh had tried his best to remove the bolt on the brake caliper. Cant opened it coz too rusty. End up, we send to Jeembo's Garage for a help. Hahaha. Well, at least we had tried.

:p

Many thanks to Jaguh for helping me and teaching me a few stuffs. Car's handling is great now. Not too hard and not too soft.

Happy trying and thank you for watching.

TEIN-inized! Part 1.

Another tiring day. Why?

From Sepang to Wangsa Maju, then off to Subang Jaya, then to Kajang, and finally back to Wangsa Maju. 8am to 12am!

Morning cloud is very nice.

I never knew that there's a beach in Sepang!

So, Im only going to post a few photos first, and hopefully tomorrow the car will be ready to drive again! More updates tomorrow.

TEIN S13 adjustable + Kayaba 4x4 absorber + extra brake disc = ???!

The true magic of AutoSol! Thank you Mok for helping me this few days. I'll appreciate it.

Fucking tiring, y'all know? Come and guess how low the car is now! I bet Jaguh is tired too!

More tomorrow!
