  1. Easier and stronger to weld bottom link bracket to the chasis rail I can get four 5mm welds on there nicely plus the extra welds on floor pan. I have seen way to many cars breaking these link brackets. Throughout this whole build my main motto is do it once do it right. I know it's enevitable that I will always have to do more work later on down the track but I want this to be mainly maintenance free when finished!

  2. okay heres some better qaulity photos for yas all.

    rear four link is all mocked up and ready to be wellded up. have all my bolts and brackets sorted for watts link, will go in and order arms tommorow.

    frony hubs and rear axels have been turned down to fit rotors. brakes have been finalized. series 6 rx7 rotor up front with the subaru 4 pots, and series 4 rx7 rotors on the rear running factory calipers with internal handbrake and brembo 2 pots for hydraulic hand brake. brakes are running off 2 5/8 mastercylinders on brake pedal under the dash, 1 for front 1 for rear. cluth will be the same under the dash.

    have modified steering collumn to suit subaru stuff. have up and down adjustment on steering wheel and run suby indicator cluster. more adjustment on windo wiper

  3. Okay. So front suspension is complete minus my Ra struts. Little bit of modding to be done ie steering rack spacers, shorten the steering arms and make lower control arms adjustable. Then get some rca's and then brakes time. This is how it looks as of now anyway.

    And here's my rear trailing arms. I will be running equal length trailing arms so will make a start on the brackets later on today. More holes in the floor haha.

  4. Okay so I've almost got my tube frame crossmember finished. Only thing left to do is drill holes for lca's and the top brackets for engine mounts. Why you ask? Well I have custom made a cross member due to needing the brackets for the lca's to be further apart and con lower my roll center while I'm at it. And because I have also moved the steering rack forward 20mm so I can gain better mechanical advantage on full lock.

  6. Another update. Have got a bit done on my front end suspension. With talking to Todd I have chosen to go with ke70 stuff. Here's the picks any way. They should explain themselves
