Wow ... that looks great ... it made the T/C rod angle look way better. And you should still have room for a normal style sway bar. If you raise the T/C rod front mount too much, you will need to run the sway bar under the control arm or something more complicated.

Thanks! I think it has something to do with the way the S13 LCA is constructed. And I lowered the TC rod a bit at the LCA.

Im pretty confident I will clear a sway bar. Im more worried about suspension characteristics. I already have a sway bar plan that everyone I have talked to looks at me sideways about.

Thanks! I'm pretty excited too.


I'm definitely doing things. Just not quite ready to present. Hopefully this weekend.

Not what I thought I was going to post... but eye candy anyways.

Got my new Radiator! And it fits just about perfect! Way lighter than the old one too.

Is this the radiator you got? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri- ... /overview/

I had similar dimensions in my old 510, so I'm thinking about that one for a KA or CA18

I have the 24" wide one. I had to try and squeeze between my intercooler piping.

Well I suppose I took a picture of something I did. I found a S14 throttle body for cheap on Ebay. Ordered that because:

Its much larger in diameter, and gets me a cruise control pulley...



Also, I made my first CNC program. Made a press fit oil drain for the back of the head. Goes to -10AN. That was fun.
