also did the hit and run waki day couple weeks ago, second time at waki, pretty cool lil track

this is what ive been playing around with recently, basically wanted to get rid of the castor bushs and go a rose joint, theres a few kits ive seen but i still think they have to much going on, wanted to keep it simple, so to follow the trend of silvia front end, ive gone to modified s14 castor arms, boxed and modded dr30 castor brakets to suit

also got these offset rack mounts, hopefully theyl work...

love this build, its DR30 and drift what more could you want

now with the new castor rod set up you'll be setting up the camber tops to be camber adjustable only i figure

also give us an update on how the powered by max offset rack mount bushes go and if it reduces bind for the 6mm of location change

figured out the lenghts needed, Brae worked his majic again, and made up a one piece section, since we used GKtech castor arms and then modified them, we thought it would be good to appropiately name them "GF Tech" ;)

cheers again brae for all your help!

fitted up a s14 rack, you can kind off make out the difference in thickness, on the left hand side tube, fitted up pretty easy, just needed to use the s14 low pressure fitting, and bend high pressure fitting abit to suit, im hoping because the s14 rack doesnt have the speed sensor in it, maybe my steering will be better...

ive also fitted up the psm rack mounts, so far so good

also needed these, with the extended lcas, tie rods ran out off thread ... these are said to give u 25mm extra tie rod length and 19mm more rack travel..

drifting next weekend, hopefully car goes well
