Z27AG Scrapping Wreck - Spare Parts

I picked up this wreck because one guy really needed to get rid of it. Engine has 40k km on it.

I plan to sell it pending on offers, otherwise i will forge it ^_^

- It has all its doors and glass except boot -  it has sideview mirrors

- rear tail lights / MAF / ECU

- lower control arms / axles / stock suspension / steering rack / tie rods

- gearbox and shifter / starter motor

- dash and various interior plastics

Stage 1 - Project Civic - EG with a B18C

a little project car i got.

its got a motor in it and some coilovers and exhaust with headers.

what i have planned...type R head with some ITBs...brakes...rims and tires....strip it a bit more

got some retro blue carpets...all gauges are removed, due to theft reasons. Car is pretty much empty. No stereo etc.
Some seat that i will spot weld in.
door trims will go. glass might go as well.









air duct/intake my mate made up. it use to have a NOS fogger intake kit for drags.
I believe i heard it ran 14.6 (not sure if this was with NOS or without)










 Cusco strut

Audi A3 KW Rear Suspension Install

Rears were easier. Removed the two bolts, had to use a hammer again to slide the bolt out.
Then the wishbone dropped.

Use the jack to help lift and align it all. It was tough getting the bolt back into the hub.

It goes in on an angle.









stock setup

18mm from the lower arm

21mm damper bottom bolt








Rear struts











Had to remove sound deadening panels to rear the rear tops they bolt off from the underside
Uses torx T25 then the 16mm two bolts holding the rear mount to the chassis.









KW variant installed. Finally!
They reuse both front and rear mounts.

Rear top damper bolt is 16mm

Audi A3 KW Front Suspension Install

Hmmm....Where do i start...
My friend asked me to help install some coilovers. I am confident in this stuff, but never worked on euro cars before. OMG. It took forever.
Complete hub disassembly, axle bolts, trying to split the strut/hub mount...Even the wipers were a bitch!

remove weather strip






A few tools that were a bit unordinary.
27mm axle nut, triple-square bolts (i used vice grips and a rattle gun to get this out).
You usual deep socket sets, hex set, tie rod splitters, an extra set of hands, rattle gun.

The pics didn't upload in any order @_@








- Splitting the tie rods, 18mm tie rod bolt











- Used a chisel to split the hub and a crap load of CRC
- 14mm 12point star bolt and 18mm nut

- disconnect ABS line and brake pad sensor









- axle was a bit stuck, so i bashed it out with a impact socket and rubber hammer

- 18mm nut connected strut to sway bar end link








# back breaking work!




- three 16mm bolts connect the ball joint to the lower arm










- scuffed the springs with my spring clamps.
what i didn't realise is you can completely unwind the coils and then tighten them up once you put the stock strut top onto the KW
- 21mm top mount bolt to remove the strut top








- Three bolts to remove the suspension top 13mm





13mm top strut tower bolts
