It's crazy quiet, perfect for a Lexus.

Are you going to take it back to Shane?

Now that summer's almost over and proving grounds is coming up, I'm finally getting to the project I was planning about five years ago, pulling the rear subframe, replacing all bushings with poly, weld in the toe eliminators, and replace both rear bearings. Welding up the clearancing I did for the 17x9's and painting everything also gets done. Can't wait to get this thing nice and tight again, should make a real difference on the road course.

Might as well do the Evo8 rear diff mod while I'm in there as well. This thing is going to rotate like a 911. :D

Car looked great at the cookout man.

That evo looks mint!

Yeah, I like to have the Evo in the background, makes the GSX look good in comparison.

my recommendation: delete the rear subframe bushings. Very few options for them, and if you want tight, weld them solid. if you still have suspension bushings the feedback shouldnt be too bad (although active toe elim. would create a solid junction from suspension to body)

Our car rotates like you wouldn't believe - maybe too much :P

This is a street car, so I need the bushings. I actually already had sourced them, poly front and rear and then I have weld in spacers from 13 years ago for the ATE.

I've also got the Suspension Techniques rear bar, so it should be pretty tail happy with that Evo clutch pack rear. Of course I've got a sub box and and dynamat everywhere, so mine's a bit heavier than yours. :D

Success! A little rustier than I would expect for a car that hasn't seen snow since 1994, but not bad. Time for real clean and final removal of garbage ABS stuff.

Not leaving until winter? We only have 2 months maybe until salt season
