    Double cardon is not needed on rear just a wide angle will do....and is only really needed on the front if you caster correct by radius arms or bushes. A far better way is clocking the swivels IMO.

    Ome are good, had my terrafirmas for a year now and not had a problem with them, perform quite nice on the road as well. i would recommend getting the Gwen Lewis top mount rather then the terrafirma ones tho. And as James said don't do up the rubber mounts too tight as this puts a lot of...

    Trouble is with a smallish Turbo you will start to work outside it's efficiency zone higher in the revs and it will increase intake temps further and therefore loose power. That's the beauty of a vnt turbo best of both worlds. Jon if you want a t28 I have quite a few kicking around if you...

    yes i now have a jig for the holes which bolts onto the mating flange, setting up a diff isnt too hard just a bit of measuring and some engineers blue needed, the welding is a little more complicated that just mig welded due to what the diff casing is made off so those will be tig welded or mma...
