    Random update of some things I've done recently.

    I made short strut coilovers for the car, and also converted to Mazda RX-7 brakes up front. Also opened up my strut towers to make room for more adjustment on my camber plates.

    I have a set of CSL reps that I will be test-fitting soon. The width and offset should be pretty great for what I want. Here's a quick photoshop mockup.

              Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

              It's a fun project, a whole lot of research, planning, and figuring things out yourself. Followed by making things yourself. And then remaking them better.

              Maybe I'll see some of you guys out at autocross this upcoming season.

                  Going camping with this car is great. Sleeping in the back is so comfortable, and I'm 6'4".

                        bigger wheels means it's time to drop it down a bit more.

                          Looking good Tom. A little lower will help it a lot. I've got that fender roller if you need to use it.

                                Wagon was cool, but I'm really digging that coupe!

                                  Thanks! The coupe is a much nicer car. This was shipped over to WI from California about 8 years ago, and it has never seen snow. 100% rust free... which is quite the change from the wagon. 

                                  I'm excited to get going on this one. I love the 2 doors, and was really lucky to get my hands on this one.
