The garage full of tools, car parts, and XY chromosomes is a place meant only for tomfoolery and gay jokes. We don't do any work here.

 

I'm OK with it. We operate the same way in Florida.

 

jelly of you being done with the bushings... not looking forward to doing mine. also MMR seems to have shut down shop according to their website... not that this is a big surprise lol any suggestions as to another brand of good quality bushings?

 

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

 

PBM has good bushings

 

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



weaksauce drills FTW

 

Can't remember exactly how much you spent to make your own toe links but freakin PMB is killing it with they cheap pricing and direct fitment.

 

^ yup i cant wait for the camber arm to come out too. Plus its extremely nice that their solid front diff mount, subrame solid bushings, and solid diff bushings are all just $50!!!

 

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

 

hell yeah

 

Damn PBM has some cool who coming out. I was planning on doing a suspension overhaul next winter so got some good info off this thread!

 

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...

Follow us on Facebook too if you guys care enough https://www.facebook.com/chad.russells.garage

 

Ditto on the new PBM toe links. I am waiting to see how the main camber link is priced *very excite* Great info, I may try to build my own like pirate did.

 

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

 

That's a sweet hydro! I ended up with a CNC staging brake because their brake was on backorder when I needed it

 

Yeah their customer service is really lacking lately I would have purchased their hydro for 240 bucks if all they did was send me a timely email but im super satisfied with this one I like it alot more

 

That handle is manly

 

Finally some one buils this thing. I remember seen this rolling around the 805
Great 805 build can't wait to get mine dyno'd
n get 805 fcs hitt up willows for a sesh


I was gonna say why not replace your rear 20 yr old wheel bearings ??your already there

 

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

 

Yeah man I know the guy who had it running he lived in Ventura then some dude from vanuys purchased it then he decided to part it out. I wanted the wide body kit for spares...
That thing was a great piece... Piece of lol
Your a magician!!
That's why I was like WHAAAAA. Destiny brought it back to the 805

Yeeaaa..... I guess... You've bee buying legit **** why not lol jk

 

CR garage is taking a much needed vacation for the next 7 days but stay tuned we have some big things planned when we come back!

 

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 come back without pictures.
Glad we had this talk.

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

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
