Been a bit quiet on the updates.. although some stuff has been happening:

 

Replaced all vacuum/boost hoses – not sure but looks to be shithouse quality even though it came from a reputable engineering supplies shop in Hamilton it is clearly on crack..

Quite a few to do all up..

Also picked up the new front discs, which had kindly been drilled to suit the required 4x114 stud patten.

Which left us with this:

Some mods happened to the bottom arms as it had a bit too much low (some of you may argue that is a not a thing)

Which has left the ride height looking pretty much like this:

Some more guard and bumper mods will be required as this hub setup does have slightly more track so things are a little hungry for front and rear clearance but should be less brutal than the mods required to fit the 15x8’s on the front of the starlet..

Ride height and alignment, and some new bump steer measurements are on the to-do list, then look at the routing of the brake lines etc.. before the new carbotechs are given the bedding procedure.

Corner weigh session suggests heavy stuff is heavier than light stuff.

This is 1/3 tank of fuel.

To make me feel better we put my evo on the scales, and managed to bust one of the castors on my jack..

Progress on the machining for the steering bits. - need to get them plated before fitting. Shims should allow for fine tuning of bump steer.

Also some reduction in progress can be attributed to the sidetrack of new POS track beater.
