Well, I'm losing my garage in november after having it for 5 years....
(The house is being sold)

sooo there is a HUGE push to make this "rolling" status.
I won't be able to put the AWD in by then, but I'm hoping to confirm I can use full ST202 coilovers without an issue.
OEM ST202 front control arms, ball joints and wheel bearings will be ordered next.
I'll paint the knuckles and have it all put together so the front suspension should be mostly in the car and ready to roll.

the rear will still be st202 until I've got the garage situation resolved.

OOBE

I really wanna see your car done, man. Hopefully before 2012.

So did the hybrid steering rack work okay or are you still not sure. I was thinking about the same thing too. Use the gt-four rack with the LHD mcpherson suspension tie rods.

So far its showing signs of being ok.
I really won't know till i get the knuckles assembled and coilovers in. I'll keep it updated though!

So what do you plan on doing when you put the awd stuff in? If you end up spending money on st202 coilovers the st205 rear knuckles won't work with the st202 rear coilovers. Unless you know something I don't know.

ST202/AT200 coilovers work for an ST205 rear end with slight modification....and by slight i mean its really easy...

i'll be using TEIN SS coilovers + increased spring rates using their ltw race coilover spring


just an idea

No notching.

You plug and weld the top whole on the st202/at200 strut and re drill

DAMN you!!! I was looking forward to those LCAs... Dan, what sway bars do you plan on running on the car? I was Thinking about them guys with the AWD conversion, if they completely used the st205 ABRs or did they mix and match?? I want to run ST bars, but the rears probably won't work.

Because We both are going to be keeping the non Super strut set up, and I'm just confused if I can use the non awd front ARB.

Oh, PS looks like I might be able to get the measurements for the rear subframes from a special someone.

the front you can keep completely stock, as is it right now, sway bar and all, when ST205 swap their super strut system out, they need to install a regular sway bar from a non superstrut car.

as for the rear, you do need a ST205 sway bar.



Looking forward to see both projects completely, hope the turtle find a smooth downhill surface and get all this done and over with lol

I finished cleaning up the body to a degree. removed all the rubber from around any window (minus hatch)
Tomorrow i'll be making a template for a mounting plate and windows for the rear sides.
also picked up some sheet metal finally, to weld in flat panel inplace of the spare tire and make some plugs for the firewall.

edit: I also completed a RHD steering rack conversion for mcpherson suspension.
all the fender mounting hardware has been replaced with SS cap screws.
tomorrow i'll post pics of the floor pan and such
Also need to call Aaron @ Partznet and order my front control arms
