PROJECT STUCK DUE TO DAMAGED CAR WITH NO FINANCIAL BACKING. BE BACK AS SOON AS THERES SOME SUPPORT...

AE80 012

I knew it was time to change my absorbers after GRA last last week. So i begin to source for abs suitable for the AE80 before installing bars from Ctech that are due next week. After lots of researching, i found out that for the front, AE101 absorbers and springs are suitable but original top mount must be re-used. Whereas the rear, to use other abs and springs, the whole knuckle with disc brake must be swapped from a AE92 (hefty hefty cost). So I sourced brand new AE101 abs and springs for the front, and came up with a budgeted setup - Kayaba Ultra Gas Abs and APM performax sports springs.

Abs and springs

Full set being assembled

After installation, camber was adjusted to -1.5 degree for better cornering. Now i can take corners without front roll, soon to be settled will be the rear, hopefully lah!

Cost
Kayaba Abs - RM250 per pair
APM performax springs - RM250 for a set of 4
Top mount - RM140 per pair
Labour + Alignment - RM100

To Be Continued...

AE80 008

Bought my new clutch disc and cover. Its only a matter of time to get that shit in.

UPDATE :

So the project received a whole set of new goodies

Old clutch was worn on the inside, as can be seen, old clutch has no torsion springs, instead it uses hard rubber to absorb vibration. Also the inside diameter of the clutch disc has been worn out. So it was really time to change new clutch.

Upon removal of gearbox, driveshaft were also removed, and after inspection, my bad fc status is being caused be crooked and damaged drive shaft. So they were replaced as well.

Damage report
Clutch disc + cover + bearing = RM200
Driveshaft = RM120
