Looks good, crazy caster haha.

I don't feel like reading back through, but what offset are you running in the rear? I'm running a x8 -10 now and have the camber set visually, but it looks to be around -2. I want to get back to around -1.5, I'm just wondering how much I'm going to have to pull the fenders.

Also, thoughts on x8 -10 up front?

itbs are still the plan.

but im going to postpone that for a bit. first off for this kade is:
-new SOHC pisonts/rings (11:1 compression ration in DOHC)
-dual 248 exhaust cams (trying to find one in good condition)
-walbro 255 fuel pump
-SR 370cc injectors
-megasquirt 1 fuel management

i also have an early 90's ford excort EDIS and some dodge coil on plugs that i plan to use to convert from distributor ignition to electronically controlled coil on plug so i can control timing with the megasquirt. that will be a bit later on though.

Nice build thread, enjoyed the 12 pages of it. Hope you get your s13 in body shape soon.

Me too I like my Hanabis on my s13, seeing them on your just make me realise, again, how good looking they are.

x8 -10 fits perfectly up front, thanks haha. You should probably update your thread, I'm sure you've fixed things since the onramp incident.
