Looks awesome!! Just out of interest did you try and turn the steering wheel lock to lock after installing the front shocks? The reason I ask is the shock mount needs to go onto the shock in a certain position or the shock catches on the wheel well.

yes J i did that they turn just fine.

hey guys spark is sorted now yeah. the write up that i followed to do this swap didnt mention anything about the thick blue wire in the white plug next to the ecu plaug known as plug F1. this wire gives ign 12v to the coils and it wasnt used according to the writeup but its sorted now and the car starts. just need a new radiator now as i noticed mine is leaking badly. thanks J for pointing me in the right direction regarding spark problems.

Out of interest how much did the radiator and fans set you back? I need to do that change sometime soon.

radiator was R1850.00 at MR Turbo fans i got from Armand but they go for about R600 each i could be wrong. MR Turbo also sells them
