Owned my 1.6 Eunos since March 2014. Bought it in standard form...  The following is a brief and by no means exhaustive list of what I've done since owning it: - Freshly powdercoated Panasport Pro Rally with UniRoyal RainExperts
- R-Package front and rear lip
- Wishbones, arches and chassis rails de-rusted and protected
- New wishbone and anti roll bar bushes
- Front lower chassis brace
- 1.8 cabin brace
- mk2 wind blocker
- New steering wheel
- Acrylic door cards
- New stereo and speakers
- MesiterR Zeta S coilovers
- ...plus plenty of more smaller touches here and there!
It's difficult condensing down almost three years of ownership and 29 pages of project thread from another forum into one post!
Refurbishing the wishbones...   All going back together with new brakes, coilovers, ball joints, drop links etc...  Calipers painted...  And how it currently stands...    |

Very nice, excellent work! Those wheels! What are they? (Apart from perfection..!) Cheers. The wheels are Panasport Pro Rally. Not too difficult to come across. They pop up for sale in the usual places every now and then.  |

Topped up the underseal and touched up the paint on the calipers.   Also painted the wiper arms black as they were looking tired and a bit rusty. Spent a bit of time servicing the car - engine oil, oil filter, dipstick housing tube o-ring, gearbox oil, turret oil, diff oil, brake bleed and coolant flush. Also discovered I have a vlsd after thinking the diff was open, which was a pleasant surprise. Removed the air-con while I was at it. It worked when I first got the car but I never used it and everything had leaked out of it over the last few years anyway. So it was just dead weight to me. Expected the compressor to weigh a bit but was surprised by how hefty the bracket is also. Part way through:  All out (including evaporator unit from behind the glovebox):  New shorter power steering belt:  Also got a radiator cooling panel as my car didn't have one:  Gave the car a wash and used some Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer afterwards. Bought it a while ago but only used it for the first time today - really good stuff. It rained soon after washing the car which gave me a chance to see its effectiveness. Lots of beading!   |

Nice work  Having air-con in a convertible bemuses me but I guess Japanese summers are probably a lot hotter and humid than ours?! Are those wheels nice and light? |

Yeah like I said it just isn't something I ever used anyway. Became pointless keeping it on the car.
I weighed one not too long ago and from memory it was about 11-12kgs with the tyre.

This car is so nice, clean and simple . How do you find the Meister R's? Looking at a set of the ZetaCRD's for mine as they have comfy looking spring rates. |
