200SX adj. top mounts will give you to about -2, adj. lower arms and tension rods will give more adjustability on camber and caster. I can make these, in case anyone is interested..I have made some "spacers" for track rods, as I will be running more camber. -2 is O.K with std's. Trust Me, camber (and caster) makes BIG difference to handling!!
I will take some more pics (better quality) of car tomorrow..
rear disc are on, just waiting to find some sierra calipers..
I'm also rebuilding twin dellortos for when manifolds arrive.. :?

Just waiting for manifolds (one week turned in to four!!), to get "daily" running. Bit of painting on body repairs and set it up..DONE!! :D
Front adj.arms offer MASSIVE adjustment!!

Looking pretty swish, what kinda power gains do you think youll get on the engine with the dellertoros? And how hard was it to get the sierra brakes and calipers attached?

Need video of the sound :D Bet it sounds awesome! :wink:

What cam have you got in it btw, as you'll want atleast an A cam - I'd say even a K cam as a minimum for that kinda engine I would've thought.
