Nadda....
About 2 years ago upped the torsion bars to 23mm front/33 rear.
Smart Racing anti-sway bars.
JRZ ext reservoir double adj shocks.
All Elephant Racing poly brz bushings/bearing.
930 braking system front/rear.
All the above still fresh....so didn't need to do anything to the suspension.

nice work

Congrats Doug!

You will love that 3.6. I have an almost identical motor in my white car, which is going through a similar transformation - ST front bumper, steel ST flares, new paint, new interior - will be mostly street now (softer TB). Enjoy! SmileWavy

Sounds great Randy and thanks.
One day we'll have to share notes....and have a group pic?:cool:
Your car was always so nice before.
Can't wait to see it in it's new config.
Guess you got the ST flares that Chad Plavan's body man was making?

Hopefully I'll have my car home in about a week.
Will definitely bring it up to Bremerton a couple times this summer.
It's got some pretty cool little "touches" now.
Custom gauges, RSR warning lights, RS spare tire air bottle, etc, etc.

Mine is going to be more street friendly as well.
The old school Scheels and retractable seat belts will do that for me.
But still able to hammer down the straights at a track day or hold it's own autocrossing.

See you later.

Looks great. Can't wait to see it out.
I'm the guy you offered you help to, for the torsion bar/oil return tube jobs. I really appreciate your offer to help. So when I get time to do this, does this mean you'll bring your car out to help.
I'd love to see thing in my neighborhood. Maybe I can tell the neighbors I'm upgrading. Hehe.

Can do I would think.....Oregonmon.

Finish line within sight now.

Stripes going on today.
Next some clear protectant film for the front end and leading edge of rear flares.
Couple odds & ends.....

As you are heading up the coast, if you need a garage to park in and a couch to flop on, drop me a PM. I am in Santa Cruz...
