How much of an effect would adjustable LCA's affect your bumpsteer plot?

looks like i broke more than the slave cylinder.
snapped the pivot off for the throwout bearing, drove the pin into the slave, ruining it, and not sure what else yet. probably screwed the tranny too, but its been grinding for a while anyways.

anyone got a cheap ka tranny for sale?

Reducing the bind in the rear makes an easily felt change in the rear suspension.

Edit: screw "easily felt". It's more like unavoidably noticeable.

No, I believed your first statment on them being a great upgrade, the face was for illustrating their effects and how good it would be to have, when i've got lots of other things i need to buy to get the car running, rather than buying all this other stuff that I could have waited on:

Coils
bride seat
Z32 brakes
theres more but you get the point

Yesterday: Complete dual cam front end swap (presidential's), cut the bumper to fit the front mount. Traded the volks for teardrops(reecer34's). Made moneys. Bought a used set of bride fixed-back buckets.

Today: Wired a new plug for the driver-side headlight. Turned the switch and only the passenger side comes on. Flip to brights both come on. Found out the problem is the switch inside the steering column. Took that appart and cleaned the little contact points, problem solved. Took the passenger side seat out and put it next to the new bucket to try and figure out how to mount the sliders. Still a little confused but I think I have an idea of what to do.

Just finished putting on my new drivers door, had to swap everything over from the old door. Well at least it's starting to look like a normal s14 with the exception of the passenger fender, hood, and wingless trunk.

I started fiberglassing the gauge pod for my DEFIs...



It's going on a removable, magnetic based mount that appears factory OEM when the gauges are away.

I was interrupted by a knock on the door. The mailman had this for me:




GT3071r, twinscroll, .82 T3 exhaust housing, v-band exit, 4" inlet, polished compressor housing.

Which will be mounted on this as soon as it gets here:



Which will be bolted onto a bored 2.15L blacktop SR20.
