Update

Well got some suspension parts this week. They included

CUSCO front Coilovers
CUSCO camber tops
Adjustable Caster Rods
Adjustable Tie Rods
KTS Tie Rod Ends

Sourcing a set of rear heigh adjustable coilovers and also have a set of rear upper camber links that i should be picking up next week.

Also on order are my 850cc injectors for IAP.

It might be moving ahead slowly but its moving non the less

Here are some pics of the front suspension parts and the amount of lock i have now with the tie rods at there minimum and not adjusted properly. I have been told that with the parts i should be able to get something like 89degree's of lock.

Thanks to Stewy K for the hookup with parts and also to Derek aka Monkey for the help with installing them

i noticed your sway bar isn't connected to chassi, does this foul with sump?

What sway bar or sump? Custom sway bar is something that needs to be thought out very well. But I guess same with the sump. Wouldnt have been better to mount the motor in a different possition? Or is there no other way of doing it? I am not talking from experiance here....just merely asking questions, I am interested in this stuff.

Had to run a front sump to clean the crossmember and other things like powersteering lines with minimal fuss. Yes the front sway bar isnt bolted in. The current one in there is the standard CA sway bar. I will need to get a custom sway bar made up to clean the front sump. Will sit approximately 7cm off the ground when installed correctly.

UPDATE

Found this in a shop i was in the other day, gonna work perfect

850cc injectors turned up on wednesday

they are sexy looking little F***ers lol
dual nozzle also which makes them better

only 1 will be active under a certain load then both will become active when needed allows for a smoother idle

dont have time to fit them this weekend so will save them for next. Should have a few more things to install at the same time hopefully

intercooler.

Have fitted an ATS 2way

Im so happy lol

Also a picture of my ecu and the coils in a box on my spare bed lol.

Intercooler should hopefully be here by tomorrow and will endevour to fit that also

Got my cooler yesterday, here are some pictures of it mounted.

Should be sending it up to Brisbane in the week coming to get the cooler piping, cage, and some other things done

Getting there a bit quicker now.

**IRB20** · 07-12-2006, 12:05 PM

Have mounted the JZA70 radiator with a little bit of customisation, but looks good.

Am sending it off tomorrow to get the cooler piping, exhaust and alterations to the manifold to allow for the wastegate to fit. Once I get its back it time to re-wire the entire car. This is going to take a while, but we are hoping to start the car before christmas.

My mate Petey said its gonna be his christmas present for me.
