Re: Mike's Azura. 29/10 polow
Try some wd40!! Or maybe a little bit out cutting fluid!! Its quite low, you can go as low as you like on the back but the front has rubbing issues and the driveshafts hit the frot subframes, so you would need to cut bits out of them!! Lol. Pre-made sticker bombs look sh*t i agree danny but i like it when lots of single stickers are stuck to make a big sheet if that makes sense?? I also like the wheels on the polo.

Re: Mike's Azura. 29/10 polow
Do the rings on the coilovers not adjust either way?? Or can you raise them up?? If not raise them up, then try wd40.

Re: Mike's Azura. 29/10 polow
nice one mike! looks awesome... christ, that is low haha!
if you cba taking the rears off the car to sort them, then try some copper grease and a needle file to loosen up and s**t in the thread above and below the adjuster. then as alex said, use a c spanner and try your hardest!

Re: Mike's Azura. 29/10 polow

wont be much progress over the next month as i was let down on a substantial amount of money which lead to me having to fork out more than i had too.

Re: Mike's Azura. new wheels.
Sir Michael! :been busy - after getting offered >400 for my car and the purchase of a mint zetec s falling through i gae up.
i had found a black 02 zetec s 2 owners fsh 55k for 1500 and that was the reason i was selling - but it didnt work out.
so.
this;
this was the old bush - the other side was twice as f**cked and in a arage i threw it straight in the bin without getting a picture.
then after a quick clean and polished i noticed something which made me a bit suspicious of the car.
on the passenger side wing thers a dint which is still there but i thought nothing of but then i noticed the door has had a respray. a bad one.
after an inspection i found that the driers had too.
cant see it too well in these but you can just make out where its not been prepped right and the sandpaper as been at the undercoat. will try get better ones tomorrow.
also, this;
the guys in the van in that picture started shouting at me and taking the piss because i was taking pictures
pepper pots look good , i couldnt really picture it till i found this picture
i had a set but sold them
i also like the picture with the stickers over the cracked bumper
im one that doesnt mind that sort of stuff
what did the white van man shout ?

just a bit lower

Re: Mike's Azura. Things for SALE
i like the wheels too the fact they have a slight dish/rim on them
ive ofter though about capri 4 spoke laser wheels but never got round to trying a set on
could get some easy enough as i know a man who sells them but they are not in condition to put straight on need cleaning painting polishing etc
ive just repainted my alloys i didnt used to like xr2i alloys but have a soft spot for them now
pepper pots do look good though
