I'd probably need to rework my wheel setup lol.

Good thread. I hope to learn as much as I can from previous LSx swaps before i do mine.

.damn. Now that's some f^^kin angle!

i can't wait to see this in person this year. Good job man !

Can I get an update....

Kinda random but I painted my helmet Satin black

I haven't gotten much time to work on my FC because I've been building 240s and strangely enough a Drift E36

But anyway I replaced all my bushings and actually have aftermarket rear suspension components now. It turns out I drive all last year with a broken individual camber adjuster on the passenger side.

It turns out that when you widen your front track and build for lots of angle you need new brake lines. I made a set out of DOT approved 3AN SS line and fittings

On a negative note, Trans is FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

But I'm fixing it.

But on a positive note. Monster Clutches gave me a partial sponsorship on my new setup

They're cool dudes

I was thinking about getting a new set of coilovers (Currently rockin pretty old Tein Super Drifts) I have been looking at the Fortune Auto stuff. Anyone have any opinions or experiences with them?

This all looks super familiar. Good luck dude! :icon_tup:

Running mazdatrix rod ends?

ItS a combination of mazdatrix stuff. I have the bump steer ends with the angle kit rack spacers and custom knuckles and ball joints.

My tranny is probably gonna be in that state pretty soon lol
I'm just glad one of my best homies dad is a tranny specialist props to you those for tacklin the task

I take it you didn't have to shorten the outer tie rods then.

I'm modding my spindles soon, but it looks like ill be stuck with stock everything else for a while. Was thinking about retaining the stock pickup locations and just adding the angle points to the spindles, but fabbing tie rod ebds with untapered

Shafts is new to me. (Phone freaked out lol) coild I use grade 8 hardware or what?
Also, do you know of any good places to get the parts to make ends? Thinking of just going to an offroad truck shop.

I can try to dig up the list I had. My old setup that I made used custom tie rod ends I pieced together with 14mm hardened steel bolts. They held up well.

Sounds interesting!

coool interested in the rod end setup as well!

Schmitty: "because you can't have a drift car without an obnoxious color scheme! "

I guess I didn't get that memo. I caged my car and painted it Black and gray haha

I had this bolt in battery mount that I always hated, so I built this one which I like more

I also chopped and threw in the dash board

Then I put on the front and rear windshields and the rear over fenders

might as well spray the front clip black, before you put the front fenders on

Yeah I think I Will spray a little of it but I'm def keeping the engine bay and tube front white. I originally did that so in case there was a fluid leak I could see it easily.

were those shavings in your trans pan, what was left of your synchros?

They were shavings as well as entire gear teeth. 1-2 3-4 synchros are going to get replaced, so are a bunch of other things. Luckily the drive gears are in perfect condition.
