Grid's now have the R888's fitted, makes them look more aggressive.   Wheel alignment went well, now have good amounts of camber front and rear and it rides a lot lower, but I need RCA's now. Will post a photo of the alignment sheet later :)

I admire your openness.
I think I would only post the pretty stuff I had done.
Maybe that's why I don't post so much.
Does it steer ok with all the extra wheel offset?

I don't mind posting my feck ups as it's a good way for others to learn from my mistakes. I haven't driven it more then a few kilometers so far so can't really comment on the steering right now, but so far it feels the same.

the rear flare came up looking pretty good, but the front flare looks like it come out straight rather then flowing down like the rear does.
so this is how those ebay ones from QLD look when you try and fit them tight. looks like the fronts needed to be lifted higher and not pulled so tight at the ends.

Bought a new toy and brought it home yesterday.  I've been wanting one of these for years, and finally I have one. A 2 post 3500kg hoist to go up in my shed!  And I finally brought my 1MZFTE out of storage and back to home.  So with a good tidy up in the shed, maybe I can get back to this project!

I've had a pile of parts building up in the shed for a few months now, so I thought the 3 day weekend would be a great time to start putting them into the car!  Drained all the blood.  36" lift kit fitted on the rear.  The last engine drop I'll be doing before the hoist is setup.  Engine is on the ground, just need a couple of small components and the project can kick off.  While the car was lifted, I decided to drop the tank and pull the fuel pump out. Going to throw something bigger in to future proof the fuel system.  While I'm waiting for a few parts to turn up for the 20V, I decided I'd do some paint work on the V6.  This turned up in the mail on Monday, HKS GD Pro twin plate clutch. Should handle any and all abuse the 1MZ Turbo can throw at it.
