So decided to remove the anti roll bar and. Build a whole custom front suspension. So I made a set of adjustable front TCA's and adjustable compression struts/tie rods, and made a start on making a set of eccentric top mounts. I have a full set of springs ordered 450lbs rears and 600lbs fronts so they should stiffen her up a good bit:D
Pics of how it is at the min, still few bits to finish off but it's getting there and lock is good now
So need to get all cleaned down and painted or zinc coated

Bit of a super late reply here but I made them from flat plate and cut, drilled, and tapped them then welded on a boss for the bearing to sit in.Quote:

I've been to a few track days in this yoke over the past few months, trying to get some practice and seat time as I'd like to enter some of the competitions next year for a bit of a challenge.
I done a track day at agahdowey few months ago
I done the ae86 track day in mondello in her but had power steering issues resulting in the oil over the windscreen. So only got about 3 laps.
I also went to the retrostock day in mondello to test out the new powersteering set up. She never missed a beat all day and I got plenty of track time
Few pics from some of the track days
