Here is a pic of the work in progress installing the new radiator. In this pic you don't see the piping for the radiator, but it gives you the idea.

I won't bother. Take a stock FD and add some new turbo hose couplings and some silicone vacuum lines. Other than that it looks factory

I keep telling myself I need to get the UIM polished...

I'll post some pix soon once my custom camber plates have been installed in my 323 rwd. It should have relavance to anyone who remembers the Rx-3 engine bays and suspension setup.

I'll apologise for the boinger currently in it in advance - but hey this has been my daily driver for over 8 years now so I thought I'd give the worn suspension a birthday before the old UC OHC block comes out.

It does have Rx-7 front struts/brakes and will be in for adjustable platforms at the front too (I'm getting these tomorrow , some for the sev too of course ).

I got the coil over kits, 2x200lb/inch springs and 2x300lb/inch.

I think I'll order some different spring rates as the recommended ones I've seen are a bit different. I'll see how I go with these springs first.

The adjustable camber plates are almost finished, I just need to get the spherical bearing pillow tops welded in.
Photos will be a while off yet.

kg/mm Spring Rates

For those who speak in kg/mm these are
2x 5.36 kg/mm and
2x 3.57 kg/mm (good for the back I think, I'll save these for when I get a back kit and then order more 5.36 (300lb) springs so both cars have those up front eventually.
