Yeah I'm just gonna finish up the arms myself.... do a little finish grinding and have them sandblasted/powdercoated.

What color do you guys think I should powdercoat my suspension parts?

I was leaning towards a gunmetal/charcoal metallic color that the powdercoater has.
If not that, then just a simple dark gray. Nothing that would draw attention to, but something that you would notice if you were looking.

BTW: Brewster... you still want my spare tire well?
You should paint it a bright, bright, bright pink.:bigthumb:

What else did you order with your tax return?

I just thought the u shaped part could be of a thicker piece of steel. Otherwise mine look pretty good.
Take yours all apart, it is free.;)

Yeah that too. I was hoping the u-shaped area would have been of thicker steel, also the swaybar endlink tabs as well....
Really, the u-shape doesn't impress me. It should have been a well-braced |_| type shape.

Kyle: That's basically it other than using it to pay for sandblasting/powdercoating. I could have bought coilovers, but that's all I could have gotten, and it wouldn't have gotten me where I wanted to be right now.
Next up after powdercoat is poly bushings, and swaybars, as well as a reman steering rack.
Then I can start putting stuff together! ::gasp::

Ouch. I'm reusing for now. I bet Driftking gets new ones just to show us how it's really done.:nono:


Oh, I'm sorry I missed this message LOL. Yeah, I'll get new ones just to show you guys :biglaugh:

J/K - I'm having the same dilemma - I don't like to waste money. If something needs to be replaced either because is not good or I don't like it fine, BUT, I mean, I will never again see these damn things. I can just clean them, sand blast the metal washers, paint the washers and put 'em back in?????

IDK. I haven't gotten to that point yet... lol
If you don't have PPS, you can get one from Toyota still... under $200
I'll probably post up a question in General about where to buy a PPS rack when the time comes.

ah, cool. Thanks man!
I'll pick one up soon. Who is it made by?

k so i'm trying to put the outer tie rod ends on, but the threads on the inner tie rod ends are all butchered. looks like they are the original inners and were just spray painted over.

i guess i'm going to go find a file and try to file the threads straight...

nothing on this car is easy.

Swaq: Heading to the garage tonight to get the subframe un-fucked. I'll try to take a bunch of pics. I know the camera isn't there, but my brother will be, and he's got a 3.2mp camera phone or something crazy like that. Either way, I'll have some updates tonight :)

Brew: Damn! that's no good
