I like  :nw

Thanks
Only thing I would have done differently would have been to carry the rear upper tune onto the threaded bung. Hindsight syndrome......... :m

What a cluster of morons. Are we sure the speed thing is really a long wait and $$$$$$ ???  Got some cool gadgets for sure.

and for the record, as enemy knows well........ after all the years running those cv's at those angles, i have only gotten one of them a touch warm .  rofl

I went round and round on the lower arms shape for a cosmetic look along with functionality. Really wanted to use the mini tie rods for easy adjustment but just had this nagging voice In the back of my head saying it will bend.

Not happy, cosmetically, with the upper but more then functional.  Had to be slightly wider then i wanted to catch that specific section of frame in the rear.  Couldn't move the front back to to clearance of the trans side cover bolts and the ability to remove the trans.  The lower, with some bracing , checks both boxes.

Width to length ration on rear a arms......lowers 78% and uppers 70%.

For those that do not know, I run 28" long axles and non plunge 930 cv's. When I ran the busa engine, these same cvs were limited to 35* of downward angle for close to 6 years. Then, the conversion to the turbo 2.3 and megasand, limited to 30* downward angle. I did so because I wanted to stretch the wheel base a touch to 117". Was hoping for 120" but close enough.  In doing so the axle had to run at a slight swept back angle. So technically that cv was again operating close to 35* at full droop.  Cvs maintain tq specs at higher angle but run hotter. Heat kills cvs where u joints are weaker at higher angles but run cooler.

So , I corrected that with this iteration. The axle is now straight out and I will prob limit the cv to 30* down angle. I suppose its time to retire them for new as well and rcv is slooooooow to return information or ship product.  Preliminary measurement shows ill be 113" wheel base with axles straight out and looking like 89 to 90" track width rear.

Bent all the tubing up for the a arms last night. I used 1.5" od, 1" id 1020 dom, for the lower fronts, because the shocks will be mounted to those tubes. Considered making the entire lower a arm out of .25" wall but damn, its not fun to bend and heavy. I used 1.25" .120 wall 1020 dom for the back side and upper. The upper in the pics is the actual upper and the lower is just to make the jig fixture off of. Ill be 3/4" chromolly heims on all except upper wheel bearing carrier side.......thats 7/8" chromolly heim.
