Looks good (still) Anders, I think we would all like to see some video of in action at the track! Love the stance

Jeff:
The front end mod was performed when I was very new to suspension... It was done by a friend of mine which was much more into suspension geometry than I was at that time.
This is how he did though: A jig was fabricated and welded to the sub frame, the mounts were cut of and lowered.
What I can remember, the mod gave me something around 0.7°/10 mm suspension travel, but I'm definitely not sure of that, you better check the geometry before.
I had a folder with measurements, weights and other important info of the car. One day, when I traveled by train, I fell asleep and someone stole my bag (with the folder and some other papers inside). I guess the thief never understood what he got (not much value in those papers...), and I guess they were probably dissapointed (the bag was looking good though!)... That was three years ago, and I haven't had time to recover all the measurements etc, and next time I'll do it, I'll keep a copy somewhere! :rolleyes5

I'm in progress of constructing a new sub frame now, so there won't be more updates on the old one..

About the drive shaft - I was told it was an aluminum version, like this:

But when I got it, it was a steel version...
Oh well, it cost me 50 bucks and balancing the old one would cost app. 250 $ here in Sweden

Hey Vince! Thanks for the comments!! That bumper filler thing you helped me to pay for, it will be mounted this winter.

Hopefully I'll pick up the engine parts this weekend and start assembling it!
I'll call my shipping guy tomorrow and ask if the dry sump has arrived yet too..

Oh yeah, about videos... I did only use it for 2 trackdays, and one auto cross last year (I worked during summer in the other end of Sweden, and the car was parked at home, in the garage during that time). I still don't have a video camera, so it's kind of hard shooting some track movies...
But my friend has a camera, and he has agreed lending it too me this summer

So movies will show up... but not until the summer though..
