Oh and still need to paint and fit my backbox and rolla mani.

While we're on the subject of suspension, how do you rate the Whiteline Panhard rods? I'm going to be getting one but how much does it help the handling other than allowing you to get the tracking right?

The standard panhard rod is hollow and flexible compared to the Whiteline ones, so obviously there's got to be some sort of improvement there?

Quality, polybushed. Takes some time to get it aligned as you have to take your wheel off, un-do the rod at one side and rotate the arm in order to make it longer/shorter.

Im not sure about handling benefits but you do need your rear axle aligned.

I didnt really notice anything different because i fitted the rod when i fitted my suspension..

Mines rusting a little because i have chipped paint off of it, so that is somthing to be aware of.

If you need any help fitting it just ask mate.

So its been a while,moneys an issue so im trying to do all the things which dont cost must but are necessities.

So my drums have been grinding/making noises when under braking so i thought they may be worn. While stripping i thought i may aswell reffurbish/paint the drums and fit my glanza S backbox(refurbing and painting that black also).

Off come the drums..

Update Manifold;

Finally got around to fitting the manifold and was very suprised with the amount of shit in the old mani and inlet ports in the head... cleaned them up.

Suprisingly didnt take as long as i thought, although i did have to get under the car to undo the brae holding the the old inlet mani.

Here it is fitted;

Note:that isnt a paint run,its bit of weld.

My opinions on the mani are that before my car would reach full power at around 3-4k and then loose it at 5800, but now it hits full power at the same time and pulls all the way to the limiter, kind of a bummer really as it feels like its got more.Defo a worth while mod.
