GTUs Mod Session: More pics!

Yo,


Here are some quick pics I did while the car was on the rack today:

Mazdaspeed lower arm bar end, with Energy Suspension bushing:



Mazdatrix End link mounted to Racing Beat front swaybar...with Tokico Illumina in background.



Finally, artsy shot of the Mazdaspeed Lower Arm Bar:



Thanks to Rotorlution on the parts hookup and thanks again to Rotary Racer for the install help. Car is getting pretty bad *** now...

Hey Dana! It's Kevin from the AutoRnD shop. The one with the horrible white S4 TII. I was wondering if I could borrow your rebuild video to make a copy. I think my motor just went boom on me after taking it to the clubZ track day at ThunderHill.

Nice! I have the cusco lower arm bar and it mounts a little differently. Mine retains the stock mount for the control arm and just bolts onto the bolt holding the mount. Looks like yours would be a bit stiffer. How much was it?

Yo,


I bought my bar secondhand...so I can't comment on the price.

I believe you can get them at Corksport for $130.

I replaced a Cusco bar with the MS one...but did everything else at the same time so I can't comment if it changed. I think the MS is a better design...

Yo,


What is Rotorlution? That's a great question. *snicker*

He's a guy that used to have a 1989 GTUs...but sold out and got a TII. Which blew up...go fig! *wink*

I bought all the parts off him...he's just a poor misguided soul who was lured to the Dark Side.

Just say "No!" to turbos!!

*grin*
