Good news and Bad news....
Good is.... Found out today that the bearings are on a ship from Japan and on their way.
Bad... I have absolutely no idea how long it's going to take, could be this week... Could be a month...
Even worse news. If its after the 10th of September then I won't be able to get them to you until the 21st of October. As u will be in the US of A!

So let's just hope they come within the next few weeks aye :p

x2! :eek: hey andy you mentioned before the 1.8 LCA's are shorter than SP20 ones, did you end up taking any measurements? Looks to be a lil bit of negative camber on the back too ;)

swift jimmy 22-08-2012 12:13 PM

Man that guy that gave up the strut brace and the corksport inserts and also helping you do the rear hub conversion must be pretty awesome !!!


Car has come so far in so little time *big thumbs up* :D


Marc - sp20 are shorter by about an inch then the 1.8s

HAIGHIE 22-08-2012 01:08 PM

Yer sorry what matt said sp20 ontrol arms are shorter and i had to drill the top strut hole side ways to i good produce some camber do the wherls fitted in the guard, i'll clean the car up on friday arvo then saturday morning i'll take some pics so use can all get a good look and idea i reackon it's got about 2.5 deg negative camber on the rear and close to that on the front aswell, overall i love to look, and can't really bring my self to even think of getting them powder coated black just love the alloy silver.

Yer rupe before the cx-7s the sill haft way up the drivers door was 110m so god knows what it was at the lowest point was.

Yer that matt guy was pretty kool haha
