i redrilled the knuckles for more angle, if you look at the video you can see where the tie rod bolts into now

interesting, never thought of that. You effectively decreased your steering ratio, increase feel. You might go through racks faster because of the smaller lever arm but I doubt that is much of a concern on tarmac. Any other negative side effects? Good Idea!

this is not my car but this is what i did
so much more steering angle its amazing
the only neg side effect is the knuckle could be weaker and unsafe but my car is not a street car any more so i feel okay with having them like this.

i had to take my underdrive pully off because it could not spin the power steering pump quick enough

Yes that's a very cool camera angle!

Nice.

That method works during a pinch when four wheeling if you get a tire that comes off its bead.

Sweet!! What was in the spray? Starter fluid?

Starting fluid most likely. Aerosol hairspray and other flammable aerosols may work in a pinch.

I met Ryan yesterday. Great guy!
I would've liked to go out and watch that event, but I didn't even know it was going on. Congrats to bmxkelowna and Drift Union.

sell me your tail lights

Logan, i can get you at least one side, maybe both...
Also, what did you do about camber in the rear? My coils don't have camber plates in the rear...

subaru on rails... cool.

eather get GC8 camber rear tophats or slot the top hole on the coilover where they bolt to the knuckle

Your cars made me want a 1st gen since I saw it. Keep up the work man and I'll keep searching for mine haha.
