arm is getting better so i could file some holes. on frame those M10 which supposed to be 68mm spacing i got 67mm. i watercutted both spacing so i have to put them to frame and measure few things.  maybe cannot perform that just yet.

 

This part weights 1640g, mustache bar with bushings were 3.2kg. i dont know how much heavier this ends up when its finished.

Been driving now some. Added caster stiffened up steering feel but seems it follows these finnish inclined roads more.

I have to swap stock swaybar links whats the difference with those.

Went better direction with modern seatbelts and powerful brake booster

I believe that these bars made some difference, even with rear bar some noises had changes.

changed factory rear arms back, car is now road legal for 2 years. rear toe changed from +2.5mm back to +4mm, car is much stable. but felt kind of better with +2.5mm toe.

 

ABS light stays on, abs works with no error codes so im gonna reverse light using changeover relay, cant say whats going on.

I´ve had bit problem with wheels balancing. POS british custom rims which aint straight and tyres which seems to be as bad patch...

Oh well, took my wheels to local shop who has road force machine. They did their thing and got all wheels under 6kg  road force unit, i dont know is it low number or not but now i can drive over 85km/h.

 

early this week did some trip, car does easily 750-800km between fuel fill-up

this is been on my mind. At the moment im making oil pump mount more secure, for the future maybe relocate oil filter and modify my oilpan.

 

Opened my differential, not too bad but needs new friction plates.

 

 

Here´s some straight 6 turbo smokers for you guys

my brake bias is bit off, rear is too strong. now i have tilton valve for rear which does its job under heavy braking but doesnt do much on light braking. My rear calipers are ford 43mm, im gonna try mitsubishi 34mm and take pressure limiting away from rear line. with abs, pedal feels odd with limiting

rear brakes done, i really dont like brake pedal feel of 240z, i think opposed piston calipers on front does it, they need so much pedal travel. im thinking to try E36 316i calipers on front, it is single piston 54mm floating caliper. i dont know if it can be fitted on stock size disc, at least very ugly adapter is needed
