This may not be Nissan related, but its just too cool not to post.

A car geek/blogger gets the chance to take an insider tour on MML Sports. Formerly Ralli//Art, this is the shop that built and serviced many of the Mitsubishi Evolutions run in WRC and other rally events. I can hardly rap my brain around the attention to detail.

Bonus

Without looking through all the pictures and reading the answer. Can anyone guess what the heck this thing is?

Looks like a knuckle for the front suspension.
Is the tie rod placement and roll center all adjustable?

Bingo, and I thought I would have fooled at least one person lol, not.

Everything is adjustable, and its designed so the drive axle can be removed by sliding it right through the hub. You dont have to remove anything except the wheel.
