theyre pretty useless in that position anyway, if you cant get your hands on a cheap front mount then front mount that top mount. its pretty easy, you can even use pvc pipe if youre trying to keep it real cheap. a good cheap alternative that worked well for me was the mkiii supra front mount and an evo front mount.

PVC releases toxic fumes when heated. The temperatures in or around an engine bay can be deadly... I'd highly suggest against PVC in that regard. Aluminum piping or reinforced silicone is the only way to go.

Yeah, I won't use pvc. I might not run a cooler at all for the time being as I'm only running minimal boost, just until funds allow to do a v mount setup.

One thing I noticed is the shaft that goes through the throttle body with the linkages etc has a bend in it. I've been looking at photos and some look like they are also bent, is it how it should be or I need a new one?

Fitted hilux diff, tailshaft, fuel tank, ran fuel lines, pulled axles out to be drilled and fitted rear coilovers. Need to cut some of the body away to fit them but they went in well.

I've run into a snag, went to wind the motor over and nothing, I think ive screwed the wiring somewhere. I just need a trigger one down the starter now as I think I may have accidently deleted it.

Front suspension done, it's going to work well by the looks of it, everything went in without much of a hitch.

Still not the final heigh, will sit a touch lower when the weight is properly on it and I still have all the locking collars on.

Powerbymax is great.

Ladies, form a line. I smell a hint of 80's in the air.

That's right folks, legit 80's Impul AERO mesh with covers and caps, these are so bullshit rare I can't even begin to explain to you how really rare they are.

^ Fair enough. Aero covers are ultimate.

A buddy of mine just purchased these -



Even rarer, in 4x114.3. Usually weird porsche stud pattern.

Anyways, not a wheel ***** yet, still looking for more sets to buy. Ideally I would love another set of Volk Aristan aero discs but chances of them popping up are unlikely, another friend has a set that he is restoring and they're awesome.
