The AVO/ MCNSPORT Rear Coilover System was developed by Darren McNamara through years of ae86 competition to out perform all other ae86 suspension. The Rear Coilover System was created to provide the advantages of height adjustable coilover systems and improve on other manufacturers poor designs. The AVO/ MCNSPORT Rear Coilover System fits perfectly to the rear of the ae86 without any modifications to the chassis or axle. The AVO/ MCNSPORT Rear Coilover System has full dampening adjustment and comes with a poly bushed axle mount and poly top bushes. These are specially designed to work with the ae86 chassis and will out perform all other ae86 suspension no problem.

The best after market Front Lower Control arms for the AE86. The advantages of these arms are: -Solid Metal bushes for zero slop and deflection -On car length adjustable for wider track -Rose jointed anti-roll bar link -Light weight design, much lighter than similar products available on the market
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/619/tensionrods.jpg
These SP-Tec Tension Rods allow you to adjust the Castor of your front suspension. These units are on car adjustable and replace the rubber bushes of the factory Tension Rod with a Rose Jointed metal bush; This prevents any movement forward or back of the front wheels, they are also Zink coated for rust protection - The Best Tension Rod\'s on the market by a clear mile and a Must for any AE86 owner

These RCA\'s are designed to get rid of bump steer on your lowered AE86, it returns the Roll Centre of the vehicle to a more preferable position which aids handling and weight transfer - Help you get the most out of your AE86 front suspension
http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/3...nertierods.jpg
The Uras Extra Lock over angle tie Rods are the one we personally use on our famous MCNSPORT Drift ae86\'s. Because of they\'re high quality we have had no wear in 5 years of competition with this product. You cannot drift an ae86 properly without extra steering angle
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2...tertierods.jpg
These Nagisa Auto Outer Tie Rods are the best on the market. These are much lighter than other aftermarket outer tie rods and are still extremely strong. They come with high quality metal bushes and rubber boots to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the bush. They are both right and left hand thread for easy adjustment and also correct the bump steer on lowered ae86\'s. A must for track or drift

And the rear one
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2201371_n.jpg
Fittent the solid alu bushes Chris provided. These make things a little tricky as there is no give what so ever and you must be perfect with your mount positions

Subframe now fitted and rear to go!!
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4368123_n.jpg
You might notive thats an s14 camber arm in a s13 subframe. Well in the ae86 we use the s14 camber arms and swap them over so the left silvia arm is on the right and right on left. This allows us to use the Original ae86 suspension mount in th e floor and means you dont have to turret the rear end etc.
MCNSPORT front coilovers and rear ae86 to Nissan IRS coilovers
I'm speachless! Your car is going to be epic Chris! Does Dmac sleep at all no?!
Serious build lad, i never realised there was as much cuttin to get the sub frame up tight to the body!!.......savage tidy job though. did y use a 180sx four stud set up so you can use twin cam wheesl??......or does it matter??
just want the best handling set up i can have really lad, the s14 i thought was great, but was talking to ffrenchie the other night and he was laughing sayin he couldnt understand how i drove the the s14 the way it was set up and would like to see me in a car with a great set up.. as too did WEZ at WKD last year before the last round of PD in Cork, so i took this advice onboard and went to Darren @ MCN Sport, who knows exactly how a twincam should be set up and supplying the best bits for it,... Damien Mulvey who just seems to be the man at building a reliable good going drift car so all the running gear and wiring is in his hands this next few weeks, he's tasty at his work also and a decent mad to talk too about the best way to do things etc.. so it should be fun when i get the hang of it :DQuote:

it will be out for paddys day at the latest, the aim is for the first weekend of march and all seems to be coming to plan so far, UDC round 1 is on the 7th of march i'd like to have that as a day for setting the car up
May get the boxes of red bull ready :-) it will be hard going to get it out for march.that's only like four weeks away
i know :eek: tough going to keep the money to it, but being off the drink and no partying this months, cant beat the fresh head! and thats the way im keeping it for the future, i need something to keep me on my toes, will be plenty to do when i get it back in my hands, but i cant honestly wait to get stuck into it, friends, family and the girlfriend will be on late nights no doubt im sure they wont mind :oQuote:
