been a long time since the last update. stopped buying motor parts and started buying suspension bits. since the car will be mainly a drifter i went that route.

powered by max eccentric steering rack bushings - offset the rack for to prevent over-centering

pbm busings and m2 performance outer tie rod ends (that i will be selling)

gsp high angle tension rods and angle spacer

gsp tension rods installed

pbm rack bushings installed

abercrombie motor sports knuckles (dont have yet but ordering soon)

I am working on my Kouki right now. She is up on jackstands, stripped down getting the body work done. After that i will start my swap. Planning on doing it all myself. Will collect parts and rock the KA till i am ready.
