Nooooooo you're kidding me dude I didn't believe you so i had to check for myself. We must have got ours right before they shut down. Well I know Mazdatrix sells the delrin control arms,dtss and front diff mount and you can pick up the diff and subframe bushings through pbm like us. The motor mounts and tranny mounts are from a reputable eBay seller who's said to have good quality. Awr has the sphericals but I think they're a little more pricey. Believe me you don't wanna deal with mmr anyways. Good luck with your build lemme know if you have any questions later on

so were kind of in limbo because were waiting on a buddy to pick up his turbo rear end so we can finish putting ours together so were just doing small things in the meantime. drilled out the control arms to accept the beefier 5/8 bolt on our lateral links

Yeah except I got sick of waiting for pbm to come out with their stuff cuz they were lagging it too hard. It was cool to make my own and they're beefier and have wrench flats on the entire body of the tube which I made a point of doing. Most the other ones like that one you posted only have one small area to grip with the wrench which gets to be a PITA when you adjust them

As far as the motor its really not gonna be anything crazy just simple and to the point. 13bt mild street port maybe and a few bolt ons like front mount and stuff and fuel system upgrades. Were shooting for 250-300 HP because Im weird and thing slow cars are cooler to drive. But yeah you won't see any v8s in this thread
hell yeah

Our friend just picked up our subframe to fix the diff mount/lack there of. Hopefully it'll be fixed within the next couple of days so we can start puzzle piecing all our rear end components back together.
Still waiting on Abercrombie to send out our modified spindle kit, also should be sent out sometime this week...

were still waiting anxiously and not so patiently for our abercrombie stuff. PBM blew it and didnt respond to my email trying to order a hydro from them so i ended up ordering another one all the way from the uk and were 100% stoked on it. the quality is awesome, and the price is gonna come out to be about $100 cheaper than if we went pbm.
just had to **** wit dat 600mm hail mary handle feel me?
sweet thing is its lockable so it still retains parking brake functionality
meanwhile we had our fabricator buddy pick up our subframe to get the jacked up diff mount fixed. this is how much of a badass he is. just shows up on his bike and straps that **** to the back
zero GAFs

you saw it running WTF as far as i know this thing hasnt run in a long time. and the hubs were spun and i checked the bearing for any noise but they seem fine. i didnt wanna deal with more pressing and all that. theyll last for a long time besides the price of new rear bearings really turned me off

so were back from our vacation and i feel like its been forever since we had an update. i hate the dead time between waiting for parts to come in. we should be receiving a few big things this week thatll get our progress going again. sorry for lagging so hard. we did find a buddy who will most likely be doing our cage which is a big step in the right direction.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out chief
So we finally are getting somewhere. Look what finally showed up
So this is what I got from dealing with abercrombie
GOOD- knuckles are painted nicely, welds seem good on balljoints and knuckles, Good customer service and the dude will usually answer you back even at ungodly hours of the night, I like the gun coating on the balljoints alot, overall price is awesome for 72* angle out of the box
BAD- it took so damn long to get the stuff. I was quoted 2-3 weeks it took a month and a half. Im not super impressed by the tie rods provided and during shipping the paint on the knuckle did get scratched in a few places
And rhdjapan happened to have a sale so I picked these up to use for the hydro rear calipers
