The Migra

[Simaroon]

Hello all, thought id put a quick blog for my migra, i bought it as a 2nd car run around but knew it wouldnt be long before i started buying stuff for it. so this will act as a something to look back on and see whats changed on it over time :blues:

anyway, here it is, the most basic 1.0 known to man (Y).

im not going to go over the top with it, i also have a rx7 which is a money pit, so migra is going to be uber cheapness, just going to get some wider wheels and take the ride height down a bit.

ive read about the panhard rod needing changing if the car gets lowered, but dont want to be going into unnecessary costs, ive seen somebody on here who does bushes for the rod to sit in at a reasonable cost, could somebody point me in the right direction please.

will add some more pics soon

you,re best to measure your axle shift after lowering really simaroon i have 2 or 3 offset bushes left and they correct from 0 to 7 or 8 mm of shift,

hi mate, just pm'd you without realising you had replied to this thread.
so it would be best to cut the springs first, see how much axle shift there is (how do i do this) and then get in touch with you for the bushes?

thanks again

Frank could you bring some bushes with you on Sunday? I could do with some for Charlie

8mm pretty much covers any drop usually, and £12 posted

used it instead of cutting the grill out, next up is to black the headlight insides, i seen a post on here somewhere with details on doing it so going to dig that out with a bit of luck
