Car looks awesome BTW

maybe with adjustable links? but with links on a solid rear if you adjust toe you will also adjust caster, so really the axle wouldnt be straight with the chassis, so i guess either way = bad, and i really dont think any of this made any sdense drinking after almost finishing my vf39 swap and o so very tiredd

there is no toe adjustments on a live solid axle. or camber and caster also.

a 4 link just changes pinion angle and a couple others.

the only way to have toe adjustability on a live rear axle is to introduce a CV joint design at the wheel hub section. that would then imply modifying the housing to seal further back behind the hub to allow for another bracket to support the hub as well as impose toe and camber.

might as well go sylvia or s2000 IRS then. it would be cheaper and less fabricating.

those silvia rear ends look really easy to mount

pfeiffer did a full sylvia suspension conversion on his 86. said he wouldn't do it again though.

i wouldnt either but thats me. but i will do it to chris's ae92, since he already has the rear end and all.

that kit looks like it fits pretty well.

So far it does, there are a few things Id change on it, but overall its workable.

Mega Drain! MWUAHAH!

Finally found the right feed fitting as well.

Now to figure out the water lines and I can put it on. Too bad I dont have the GZE block on there yet.
