Heres a pic of the Coilover Strut and Lower Control Arm. Im still waiting on my springs which were ordered ten days ago now.

I get approximately 1.5

looking good, wish i had a front end as adjustable as that

Cheers mate, im looking for torana radius rods tomorow and getting springs this week so it should be back together very soon.

Did you get your engine running over the weekend?

looks like it's coming together real nice
have you done anything in regards to spacing the steering arm/lca down from the strut body to help with the steering geometry ??

yeah the engine went in and wiring all got done
at first it vibrated like a biatch, that was fixed with some new second hand engine mounts
now i just have to get some carbies sorted, go buy the tailshaft and find a radiator
i also learnt that straight out standard manifold doesnt sound any where near as good as straight out extractors

I have to wait till the cars on the ground so im not sure...

I think you have to maintan a slight downwards angle on the lca throughout the suspension travel to avoid bumpsteer, not 100% sure but have to learn.

PIGDOG good to hear mate, how good do straight out extractors sound! I had it like that when i took mine on its maiden voyage, and it was raining, everytime it wheelspun my head hurt.

these look like they'll do the job pretty good ... waiting on getting mine all in to see how it drives first and if they're needed ??

Hope i dont need them, ive blown my budget this month.

just curious, why did you go with the L16? looking to do the same conversion soon and im tossing up between L16 and l20b

Mainly because i had a sss stanza sat there with good motor and the A12 in my car had given up the ghost. Also registerable with the L16 without engineering cert.

Ive got a L20, once i source the right parts i would like to start building a 2.4 stroker, but that will be over many years and $$$.
