shitty news, my rear upper ball joint on the passenger's side is fried. which sucks, because the car drives very squirrely. i probably killed it drifting. oops.
update: the actual build should be beginning soon. i just finished my last drift event of the year, and aside from snapping my aftermarket camber arm its all good!
had tons of fun driving the new layout.
winter plans include:
more low
more camber in the front
more wide in the front
less camber in the rear
flares
more lock
more power
more pain
been gone and working. still have lots to do but heres the gist of it.
put the car back on the road after about a month, because my trusty winter car was way too sketchy to continue using. this meant new winter tires:
put em on some drift wheels and decided to call it. they're all very bent, but whatever.
got a pal to reinforce my rear floor to eliminate any worry about that issue:
we also did a dual caliper hydraulic handbrake setup while the rear end was out
car lookin shitty
went snow drifting, busted a tail light being too fatal
got it on video:
also had to do a water pump and some pulleys
then it snowed again
cars looking really trashy right now. life really sucks, i wish i could just put it somewhere warm but whatever. winters almost over.
made a bracket for the hydro. fits in the factory place and aside from the master is totally hidden.
then traded coilovers with my pal money gang steve. converted the front to E36 for camber adjustment. going to flip the camber plates to adjust caster at the shock mount, and just shim the knuckle to adjust camber at the hub.
also bought his old angle kit, so that should be fun. adjustable front lower control arms, heim joints to replace all the ball joints and poly offset lollipops and shit. it should be a fun time.
its awesome, car is very twitchy. tons of lock too which is nice. gonna guess and say i have 6 degrees of camber, which is whatever. the control arms are two inches longer than factory.
