Damn thats an impressive cage....Hopefully you can get out of it quickly when the cage actually comes in usefull :shock:

I wanna see some good build shots mate.

[DOUGMO]

got a fair bit of the rear suspension stripped out last night, to change to ralliart bushed arms,rear sway bar etc..

i have to get the rear diff out and sent off to be rebuilt also as there is bugger all preload on the lsd now.

[DOUGMO]

got the window net brackets back, works of art.
just have to fit them now.
seat brackets are nearly finished, wiper pivots have benn modified
to clear the cage.

god i cant wait to get this car going

[DOUGMO]

i have the window net brackets and the net in and mostly fitted, just need straps from the bottom of the net to the cage and its all set to go

[DOUGMO]

i have also stripped all the rear suspension out to be replaced with all ralliart rebushed arms, new wheel bearings, whiteline rear sway bar.

i was amazed how slogged out the bushes and joints were on the arms i removed, the car felt tight before,with no noises or knocks, cant imagine what it will be like now.

the ralliart bushes are soooo much stiffer than the standard type bushes,should be a decent improvement,especially in the rear diff department.

gotta love the factory rose joints in evos too

[DOUGMO]

only thing left to remove from the rear end is the diff.
i was happy to see a mechanical lsd too(I thought it was but it was nice to confirm)
even though it has little to no preload left.
that will be sent of to be rebuilt next week along with the rear drive shafts and the tail shaft.
besides the engine that covers most of the under body stuff.

had to grind the bloddy rear sway bar links off though.

[GSRSOL]

looking great mate!

can you still get all those ralliart bushes for the suspension - say I wanted to order them for mine ....

[DOUGMO]

i can but they are not cheap dan, especially when you do 4 engine mounts

lower control arms in the front

lower control arms in the rear,toe link arms,upper control arms,2 trailing arm bushes and 4 diff mount bushes.

the main ones to get would be the engine mounts and the diff bracket mounts.

the upper arms and toe arms from an evo into gsr would be a nice improvement too as they have rose joints standard

[GSRSOL]

ive already got the 4 ralliart engine mount bushes

if i could get the others that would be great, My upper rear link bushes are shot as it is, i was thinking of getting those cusco upper links to replace them, but if i can still get raillart bushes then thats a better option !

[DOUGMO]

cusco ones will allow more negative camber though, over ralliart ones.

they are both rose jointed too

does you car have evo arms or gsr ones in the rear?

cvap is cheap for sets i think

Meek stock all of the RA series of bushes for CC's

[DOUGMO]

bugger all mate,

mainly just the dash board, dont even know if those trims
will stay in there, might use something else

I'm looking to make up some carbon ones, maybe we can share some of the cost.

hey trev, have you had a chance to look at the trims?

[Velocity Racing]

with the bushes, did you get them all from the ralliart comp sales (stephen bell?)?

[DOUGMO]

yeah, i have been paying off steves mortgage on my own over the last year or so

[trevmcrev]

hey trev, have you had a chance to look at the trims?

No sorry, flat out at the mo.

Works busy as, baby coming soon, working on house more than car!

Jstyle did just sort me out with a new clutch and changed over to the evo box n diff.

Need to get DMS rebuilt next

I do have a shitload of carbon fibre material though, just dont know what or how to do anything wit it :roll:

[DOUGMO]

no dramas at all trev,i understand the mork work on the house than car thing,

how does the car feel now, i hope you have had a chance to try
the better ratios?

should be a decent improvement anyway.

:[/quote]

you have 40mm yeah?

how often are you having to get them rebuilt?

do they need much work when they get done?

[Velocity Racing]

we get about 4-6 events from the proflex between rebuilds (so say 400-600Km of stages) its 250 per corner, it doesnt seem to make it feel better, but it does stop them leaking etc.. on the tarmac u will get heaps of kms between rebuilds... its just the gravel that stuffs everything..

[DOUGMO]

SWEET,

thanks lewis,

[trevmcrev]

50mm fronts, 40mm rears.

Ive never had them rebuilt before :oops:

Done about 20 rallies on them too

Back one shat itself during the last event and leaked out fluid!

With the shocker as is i havent had a proper drive yet, but the clutch feels good and the drive ratio much shorter.
