Newbie with a GA2 City

Yea I bought one a few months back on the boat from japan so prob a few months away but it's not going to be the end of the world as the car prob won't be road reg again if it does it's gonna be a 2 sweater with cage lol

Have a look at this site http://www.sol.dti.ne.jp/~design-m/maxicity.html and go to the Footwork tab where he discusses suspension. With the help of Bing translator, it appears he used 2 brands of coilovers. Firstly by the sound of it a Japanese one Ennepetal in Nagoya. Then further down the page he changed to G-Force which seemed to suit him better. This is what came up in a google search http://www.gforcesuspensionservices.co.uk/ Seems they do 2 wheel and 4 wheel. If they did the shocks etc they may have records, would be pricey no doubt.

This seems to explain the Ennepetal connection http://www.bilstein.de/en-uk/news-ev...n-ennepetal-1/

I had a laugh at this one, @ 21 sec's watch the little black GA2 whip past on the left and leave him in the dust. You don't see it again till almost the end. Seems to say the camera car's a CRZ.

Thought this might help encourage you.

I can get them custom made for about 1300 it was more than I really wanted to spend on it cause I'm on a budget

It's a lot, but I remember one of the guys on CRX Aus getting a set of special order shortened road/track Koni coilovers for about $1100 from the US, and that was when our dollar was good.

That flocking is pretty cool, never seen a whole dash done and TBH didn't even know that there are places that can do it aftermarket!

Yea its been around for a while hard to find people who still do it tho.

things left to do so i can roll the shell out and do a few more bits in the shed.

Mount buckets on the rails.
send door cards and A pillars off to flocking
make mesurements for roll cage.

strip the rest of the car for paint.
finish engine bay so it can be painted
pull all the bits off and paint them
do somthing with the brakes.....

Rear brakes (had a look back through to see if I'd mentioned it). My first encounter with one of these little beasties was at our local wreckers many moons ago. They had a black SIR Turbo model (turbo was gone, the only reason they'd bought it). I'm sure it had rear discs and I noticed a different rear axle, + shaped instead of the inverted U like on yours. Car's long gone unfortunately.

from what ive seen a gd2 or gd3 jazz should be a direct swap but ill have to keep looking as i dont think we get those models here in auz.

but i found on carsensor a project race one that had the brakes swapped and it was a gd somthing jazz or city ill look it up again soon i bookmarked the page so i could reference later.

but lets just see how the std brakes go for now and if i need them ill do something later

Gonna get am finger out and do an update soon

so i just spent another 700 on parts from japan so bit after bit is comming in till ive got them all.

should have the rest of the car stripped for the painters around next week. might post a photo later
