good find and nice tips in there, most importantly though is to go for alloy engine mounts otherwise the layshaft gear will go out of mesh with diff ring gear and chew them out and cause them to slip.

I've just removed my rear sway bar, based on similar information, so I'm hoping mine will be more stable.

depends also on the thickness of the sway bar either 4mm or 5mm:lol:

also removed my rear anti roll bar as my car was just spinning up one wheel i also had to unpack the grease from my diff as read somwere that the fg 4 plate self locking diff only needs a small amount of grease on the gears id packed it solid just need to try it out now hopefully its better

Frt steering tie rods are mounted below the upright arm from factory, and if mounted on top of the upright arm now run parrallel with the control arms and frt bump steer is virtually elliminated.

I did this mod I think..lol This ball end was mounted on the underside of this arm,I take it this is what he was talking about?And just what is bump steering??

bump steer is the change of toe in as the suspension compresses and releases.

Thx bud,haven't driven it this way yet but just pressing the front end down it seems to be better
