I was wondering why you made the custom lower suspension arm shown in this picture. Did you do it for strength or to relocate something?

Those lower arms are fully adjustable they have spherical bearings in them, It gives you more camber control if you run bigger wheels and lower the car significantly also a much stiffer and solid set up than running stock OEM pillow ball . All around its a good mod.

Thank you

Awesome thread, very interested in seeing how you plumbed the coolant thermostat in to the system. Been trying to figure out how to do it with my electric water pump.

Its a manual machined fabed out low clearance steering rack. For those looking for more ideas to the dreadful bump steer issue, maybe this idea might help .. My engine is a bit lower than most 3 rotor swaps out there, close to 1 inch lower. I mean i don't have no motor mount puck /bushings the motor mount arms are siting right on the sub frame lol, with a -3 degree tilt on the engine.

But any way, my pride and joy..

I also own the AtomicRex manual rack. Personally i like the OEM manual converted unit better. It has a smother steering action, its much lighter to turn left to right. the fact i can get parts right from the Auto parts store to rebuild the OEM unit is a good option also. The Atomic rack in my opinion, it looks good that about as far as i will go. If that break down, were do i even start to get parts from it ??? Atomic Rex the manufacturer has gone missing... I'm sure most of you get my point.

Thanks

Atomic Rex england? He has gone under and now expanded his reach into other marks of car. He is selling off his own stuff for reasonably cheap.

Great car BTW
