GB: Tubular LCA's

[MATT91GT]

just an FYI...it appears the drivers side is left hand threaded...got me real upset that i couldnt get the one rod end to thread down in and so i inspected both rod ends lol

also Jim you have a PM coming your way

Not sure what your asking, but the front control arm bolt goes through a cup in the 4 point brace to mount it---the rear into a subframe bolt. I don't know if it'll clear your motor swap---I can build your arms without the swaybar tab---just the hole if you want to run the delrin endlinks---the swaybar/endlink stuff does make things a bit more complicated...

Ah ok, just looked for some reason that it wasn't connected in the pics, that's all. That answers my question.


If there's a performance advantage, i'd rather keep the tabs. It doesn't seem THAT hard. Just a shorter bolt that fits in a rodend on that arm side, and two bushings up on the swaybar end like before. (I'm going to feel dumb if i don't have that right.)

But yeah, at this point, i'd hate to leave ANYTHING on the table, so if the tabs are better for any reason (i think they are) i'll take 'em!

[MATT91GT]

For anyone who would want..I can gather a few parts to get a mostly complete endlink set. You would have to use your current bushings. If you would like that let me know. Im trying to price things out. but i would imagine they would be $30 shipped at the most. PM me if you are interested.

[MATT91GT]

Jim your mailbox is full. Going out to get the last of the parts i need for the endlinks. I will update with a picture soon

Finished up Itchy's/Jrally's rally arms---they're a bit heavier---still lighter than stock, but should be pretty bullet proof---On a side not, I'm putting a rollcage/bar in a clown car @#$ I mean FIAT today. I'm nervous, thing is worth more than my shop...

[MATT91GT]

that fiat looks cool.

[atomicEGT]

oh ****, is that one of those old Abarths with the engine cover propped up?

[MATT91GT]

check it... the extra washers are there as spacers. until i can put them on my car and see how they fit.



depending on everyones bushings but you might not need as many washers or you might need more. i plan on keeping the washers on as a permanent solution.

worth more than your shop??? wow that's one expensive clown car...

As a matter of fact Atomic---

[MATT91GT]

oh damn thats an awesome car. If i didnt need to make money during the summer i would just want to hang out at your shop all day lol

I'll have measurements on that jaguar end link as well. Will post later tonight.

Jim those things are great! I've seen them roll over themselves in the middle of the track going into a turn. I've also seen them turn key with spares for under 15k... Or am I really confused right now? Is the 190e still hanging around?

[JPmotorsports]

I think this one either was driven by someone famous or won a famous event---hard to say why it's value is jacked up so much...

The 190e left earlier in the week---we generally don't keep a car very long/kick them out like pizza's...allthough that cortina is still here---just getting around to the rear suspension/plumbing now.

[atomicEGT]

yesssss, those things are bananas

what's the S13 in the back getting?

It's going to Bonneville to try an break 200mph record in it's class. It'll get a full cage (something that fits their rules and roadrace rules---the guy's doing land speed, his wife roadraces), seat mounts, parachute mounts, 2 fire systems, driveshaft loops---steering column/wheel---this is my usual M.O., I leave the motor/gearbox/management to those guys and take care of safety/chassis/fuel systems and sometimes suspension...
