Nice, you lathed up the threaded sleeves?

nope, otomoto kit.

awesome setup man should stop good ,did you shorten the struts?

love the longchamps ,hoping to get a set for my ute but i need adjustable lcas so i can pull the wheels in and stop the rubbing with my 13X7s

get the updates coming ,looks sick

yeah took about 100mm out of them. No need to pull the wheels in, just add more camber or run smaller tyres.
Thinking i mite run the 165s on the 8s on the back and get some 155s for the front.

Ill get the updates going soon, i bought the 4age setup of a bloke who had it in his ute but its not lining up 100%, with the tailshaft, gearbox and engine all fitted the engine still needs to go back about 15mm to clear the sway bar and i want to run a 24mm sway bar soon so it may have to go back a little further. I cant be #OOPS#ed shortening the tailshaft so thinking i mite modify the sump for clearance.

apart from that everything else should be pretty straight forward. just need to fab up some engine mounts and the rest should basically bolt in, have the full loom, fuel setup and exhaust from the other ute.

Can't you space.away bar down off the chassis for clearance? I did for l series with blocks as only needed 20mm clearance odd. Otherwise a mad dat away bar?

nope, either modify the sump or shorten the tail shaft, i dont think the bloke who i bought the setup off was running a sway bar, ive got a bit of room behind the engine to play with so looks like shortening the saft will be the best option. 20mm should do it.

G J drivelines did my tailshaft for $120 (I think) - they are in Dandenong

Tail shaft city in Preston did,mine. Nice guys, no BS A.D. he's doing his own hot rod currently - lives a chat
