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?

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 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

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.

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.
