Did you just build those endlinks today? they look really good man. i am jealous...but i will make mine for sure now...LOL

Lol we did learn that the hard way for sure. Glad to know it's on there right now. Anyway, here are the pics. Excuse the dustiness of the cross-member and the rust on the brake parts (didn't wanna spray those with undercoating). I think that cross-member sat in a warehouse for ages.

Endlink

Cooler (I'll get the grille off one day and take a better pic.)

Yep I sure did. Antonio, make sure to check that the sway bar isn't compressing the lateral link bars (as seen in the pic right below my endlink) when you lower the car down. I had an issue with that and had to cut the endlinks almost 2 inches shorter.

Lol yea. What was that saying? Measure once, cut twice or something like that?

They sure are (thumb)

They looks awesome! lol What length did you use for the all thread? Im going to make some rears soon. I only have the front done.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Originally I made the links stock length since the stock length worked with the progress initially. For some reason, these aimed the bar lower down and once we lowered the car, the bar was pushing down on the lateral link REALLY REALLY hard. If I would have driven it, I would have bent both of those bars. So we cut it down a couple inches to I'd say about 4.5". If you want, you can add the pic to your thread

oh ok, yeah i am gonna put the sway bar on first and see how it sits when its on the ground then measure and hopefully it isnt compressing the link bars...

[EGTT91]

[azmp5]

ordered endlinks for my MSP rear sway bar

 

[HKPRO5]

Had some fun at SCCA today... I need smaller rims and better tires...lol

 

[ganzhimself]

Pushed it out of my garage, doused the interior with gasoline, lit a match and am watching it burn now... I hear the fire dept. coming. Posting from my BB. Hoping that I don't get arrested for arson and that the insurance pays out.





Just kidding.

I'm feeling like setting the thing on fire, but that's only because I'm having (self-created) issues getting it back up and running.

drove it yesterday. . ... . even Callie agrees it feels like a minivan now compared to the Miata
