Hi I'm Twinkle, I have a 1999 EK3 Hatchback. Here is a photo when I had the 17” rims on and the drum brake assembly.

Sorry about the long wait with the photos but i will upload them right now... When i drove went to service the car myself it wasn't in a good state; i got power steering leak, engine cover filled with oil, a fender bender, the engine dipstick housing was coming off and they also went inside the cylinder head because you could see the grey gasket maker, trailing arms were basically finished. Anyway, here are some photos.

I paid a lot for the car and i don't know. Just need it to be my daily really, also if i need to kick some *** i wanna have fun doing it. Been reading around the forum for over a month, def learnt a few things with the conversion at the rear but the front is kinda dizzy, plus where i am located to get those spare parts it is basically order online or used parts and what you properly need no one as it.

What are my plans?
- Well the car as lowered springs on for corners and i bought 4 KYB shocks last month. Would like to get the brakes sorted firstly.... master cylinder 1" , braided brake lines
- Sort the suspension out to poly bushings and the pretty bars at the rear, need a rear sway bar, for the front need a sway bar (if i do not have any) the bar that runs from strut tower to tower for stiffness, the adjusable height shock absober for 4 corners, steedy or adjustable front arms
- Steering well feels loose a bit and i do not like it, would love for you guys to tell me if i should remove it or not
- CV joint, i have no idea about it but the aliment guy said is as a sound like a click or something is loosening up

After i am basically broke and feeding on crackers and water.... I am sure when the time comes i will think of the engine bay but i am currently using a D15B non vtec.





Here last year Nov. finally i bought my first car which i had wanted around 2005

The next day i was going to work and a taxi driver ran straight into the back. I almost cried

Here another view of how smashed it was. Plus the interior got a slight cut too

Worse part is i paid too much for it and i was driving on his insurance. I had to foot every ******* thing :-)

Couple weeks later, I got it back, painted the 17"s in black. The seats were crushed so i had to pay more cash to get it fluffy. Sorry didn't take any photos around that time i was too upset

SO... i spent more cash and bought a rear back end with the trailing arm and so and got a 15" instead. Could't managed the potholes at all with the 17"s

So when i get home i am going to look at the nissin caliper brand and see if i could get a bigger rotor but keep the caliper....... Or i would find out what type of knuckle i have DX or Ex then try and see what is out after that. Don't think i need to over 10" rotor
