Hello, my dear reader! Half of the journey related to buying and delivering the car to Sochi has already been completed. Therefore, you can relax a bit, sit by the fireplace, and write a short story about “how I spent my winter.” But then again, I became too lazy to write, so I’ll just make a small chronicle of recent events in pictures.
The differential was pressing oil through the seals and throwing it on the exhaust. The constant smell of burnt oil reminded me that I would soon visit the guys at MasterMotors.
I can’t adjust the full-tap shock absorbers anywhere in Ussuriysk yet. I don’t know what the road will be like from Moscow. According to rumors, the M4 Don is the top highway in the country, but it is unknown what it will be like beyond Krasnodar. Therefore, I need to be cautious and raise the car a little bit.
Replacing coilovers with Tein Flex shock absorbers with EDFC stiffness adjustment module from the salon. Repair of the exhaust system.
While the exhaust is being repaired and the old shock absorbers are being replaced with Tein Flex, I decided to slightly change the appearance of the car. I bought a new trunk lid (without holes for a spoiler) and painted it. I also bought customized taillights and collected rare overlays for the taillights of the second model from different cities (it was not so easy to find them). Additionally, I replaced the rear window and installed a wiper.
I was very lucky to buy the front optics cheaply. I assembled the lighting with HiVision LED lights with a temperature of 6000K.
We redesigned the entire front lighting system. We installed turn signals in the bumper and ordered two 8 Ohm 50W ballast resistors to eliminate the fast blinking of LED turn signals. Now the LED turn signals flash at the normal rate.
