Now we getting closer>>>>>>>

So I start to pack up this thing.



Me like.



Then choose the car and 10 minutes later I have add 40 hp's.



Then I find some more nice stuff.



So I put it at the lift and locate the leaf spring and what did I see? It's at the wrong
side so I have to do something about it.



So I start to work.



Here we go.



It's nice with fresh things to work with.



So now the leaf springs only sitting at the front.



And here it comes at the bottom of the axle.



The adjustable back plates.



Here is the things together.



A set of shock absorbers in place.



And the painted bumper in place too.



So now I'm finish with the rear.



Jocke

Very nice Jocke!

That is a small muffler. Perhaps an exhaust and air intake?



They have a race edition for Jocke's car......

Looking good Jocke. What does all this work do to your factory warranty?? Will they still honour it or is that now shot to pieces?

I agree with Henry, Joacim.

With the new fuel control module you'll definitely want to open her up and let it breath a little better with free flowing exhaust and K & N - style air cleaner in a nice intake. Just remember to re-map afterwards.

Looking really goog though, buddy.

I must admit, I was real cautious opening this thread... Didn't want to see another JJ head on any kind of growth... Got to say - this was a pleasant surprise, the ride looks good, Jocke!

I have a KN filter that I will use. The muffler is stock, and it will be.

I believe there will be no problems with it after my upgrades so long not the
new stuff is involved with the problem. But I use to fix the problems when they pop up.
