    Well finished my front end installation last night. The RC motorsports front end went in without a hitch, very well designed

    I really think this is the best kit on the market to date... very well built and allows many engine combo's... Yours looks great...

    Looks like 107. The coilover sure sits at an aggressive angle. On my 106 it is straight up and down.

    I have rear disk brake set coming in the mail soon. Maybe Tuesday. Then my car will be "modern".

    Did you get the steering hooked up? That is where I got stopped, when the weather here got too hot and humid to continue working on it.

    Might be able to resume work in the next month or so. When the cool fronts start to come through.

    Now that you have 10 posts, you might be able to upload more pictures. You will have to keep them around 300 k or so. If you don't know how to resize them, shoot them to me by email and I can resize and post them for you.

    We would love to see your progress pictures.

    scooper @ shiloh treatment center.com remove all the spaces before sending email.

    Mine too, plus the upper CA is way different. Mine's triangulated instead of rounded. Maybe they've made some design changes over the years...

    I installed the rack and the sway bar. Waiting to tackle steering column next. Looks pretty straight forward. RC sends a video of the entire install. Really good info.
