    Thanks mate

    Went out to QR yesterday, forgot how much fun it is taking the car to the track! The willwood brakes are so so much better then the old JDM stuff. Really need to head to a drift day to get it out of my system though, was tried to slide the last corner and ended up spinning on the last run lol

    These turned up today



    And apparently the adjustable caster rods aren't too far behind, hoping next week then I can put them both in.

    Had the back of the car on car ramps and just had to take a photo.



    Wish my car was that low. Going to Lakeside on Sunday hopefully get a decent time, either way will be fun.

    Got the adjustable LCA and caster rods in but unfortunately there is electrical gremlins in the car and I can't get it started so I never got to test them at the track. Getting sick of trying to work it out I picked up this:



    Plan is to use silvertop pistons with the blacktop head which should give me around 11:1 compresssion....I think. Want to trying and source some cams and do a bit of head work while its off as well.

    Also picked up this sad looking fiber glass bonnet:



    Going to clean it up and deciding whether to redo it black or red.

    Yeah thiking red as it would draw less attention and I have plenty of paint left

    Thanks, I might try softer rear springs or have heard of people removing the rear swaybar for more grip. Also had a wheel alignment after that and found my rear diff was pointing to the passanger side which they straightened up so hopefully that will help as well

    Wanted to rebuild a motor and I got the bottom end for $50 so seemed like a good idea.
