Thanks for the info on the radiator (and oil cooler as well. I didn't even think about that!). I like the idea of a stock bumper. It flows so well on a car this low. After you set it up with the flares and wheels, what are your next plans? It seems like it's almost where you want it. Why didn't you want to go 5 lug?
And an SR in an FC?! That's sick (in a good way!). I've seen a CA18DET in an FC before using the transmission from an S12 200SX Turbo (CA18ET) (guy said that it was a better fit the the Silvia one, and he had like 4 of them!). Good luck with that project, also!

That's very true. The reason I wound up going with 16" wheels is because finding what I wanted in 5x114.3 15" was proving extremely difficult. If I had happened upon a set of the wheels I bought in 15's before I bought these I would have grabbed them instead. Car still looks great on 16's though. Yours is coming along Drew. Still one of my favourites.

I did a search on rear springs and this thread came up. I ordered the rear coilover conversion from ReSpeed back in October and after reading about them it doesn't look like I will be getting them. Looks like they worked out great for you though. Does anyone have something else to use for the rear springs now? Looking for about 175 lb. rating to match up with my 300lb fronts from Ground Control?

yes
yeah i've been hearing respeed is getting sloppy. have you emailed sam and heard anything back? the last i heard they have been really busy. but back to the topic. mustang springs may work. pretty much any spring that is 4.5"ID should work.

Thanks for the info, I think you mean 4.5 OD? I will check out the Mustang springs.
Not sure what cscs is though. I will find out. I have started to autoslolam and trying to get my second car setup for the spring.

Not sure what cscs is though? I will check. I did start to autoslolam with Push it to the limit. I am trying to get a car ready for this year. Working on the suspension.
I didn't see it come up so I rewrote.????

Do you remember what year the MkII Supra struts were from? There's an 86.5 part out on Kijiji and I'd like to grab them but don't want to waste my time/money on the wrong parts. Thanks.

Thanks. You just email them some pics and if they like it they post it. I wasn't too thrilled that they posted the picture they did out of the 5 I sent them. It definitely wasn't my favourite.

This car is insane. Definitely inspiration for my planned build.
Out of curiosity, who do you run through for insurance? I'm in Toronto, and I'm getting ridiculous quotes on RX7's.

You may find the reason(s) for your high quotes in that thread. Call brokers, not individual companies
