The top w/bone doesn't have enough offset to get 5 degrees of castor if the top and bottom w/bone brackets are attached symmetrically, if the top brackets can...
December Wheels mag had a review of the "new" Corolla, including a description of the new euro-4 2ZR-FE 1.8 engine. How much longer will you guys be able to...
Hi Charlie, Be very careful with 4wd motors. Manufactures often make the weight catagory just over 2700kg. This puts it under the NA catagory with lower...
A good way of providing more offset is to make the top wishbone pivot brackets about 20mm longer. Put them on so that minimum castor is 6~7degrees. Cut the...
Hey Garry! Thanks for that! I will be sure to check it out. I havent seen the QR25 being used in anything else here yet so a good thing to check. In other...

That's good news Tim, You won't be disappointed with the S14, the cam changes timing at about 3800 and it just grunts on again from there to the red line. See...
Not quite that simple I am afraid Dominic. It is not the weigth of the vehicle that matters but what the manufacturer list as the gross mass. The Hilux only...
G'day Rob, Don't know about the Corty, but the TE471R is what I an using for my Gemini based stuff, it has an odd 17mm thread. Regards Dave King Suthol VII ...
Giday ClubmanRob. I found it very difficult to find these ball joints. I have heard someone is using something from LandCruiser. I ended up getting mine from...

The top ball joint you need is a Ford Transit drag link. The landcruiser ball joint is no good. I've got 2 home that Don,t fit. If you can wait to the weekend...
