Hey skrilla
Good pick up. Hopefully won't be too much of a pain to convert. You'll still need a manual tailshaft, pedals etc. Is that slight bonnet/panel damage I see on the right corner of the car?

Good eye,yes that and the fender has a minor crease.Its a shame because the car is all original but I will have it repaired.I found a parts car so please help me whats the complete list of parts I will need to convert my car to 5 speed.

Even has the original matts which were the only option on the car besides transmission.

Sounds like you have this sorted the right way. Btw I was unable to locate any sunroof seals that you asked about a few weeks ago. Oz spec Piazzas didn't come with sunroofs anyway.

Where did you get your springs and struts from ?

Post by **Bad_Asso** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:23 pm

KMAC springs all round. Lowered 2 inches @ the rear, 3 inches up front. Koni yellow adjustables all round. This was how I bought the car off the previous owner. You'll have to get on the kmac website and see if they can make another set. If they can't get back to me and I'll give you the spring measurements so you can get someone locally to make you a set.

As for shocks I'm pretty sure ypu can't get yellows any more, but I could be wrong. Have a chat with archangel because he's currently in the process of sourcing a set of reds or blacks or something, and he's looking into alternative front springs too (cheaper but equally effective alternative).

Lenso Eagle 16x7.5 mags with +20mm offset, which is the correct offset for Piazzas

Thanks I worked on her all day and got some serious burns,haha.Serves me for not wearing any sunblock.Any word on them springs sir and are Konis still available?Do you have any extra parts by the way I need a small interior trim pieces?

Post by **Bad_Asso** » Sun Jun 22, 2014 8:03 pm

Hopefully hear back from Kmac on Monday. Don't have much by way of small interior pieces. I would suggest Wedgenut or elky on this forum. Failing that I would try Clive from IPTOC in the UK.
