That is test parts limited by stock control arms. Hopefully I should have new stuff in there this week for even more angle ---

Still need to send the center’s out to get polished, I’ve got 6 of them now, but still trying to find more. Just trying to get it finished as quickly as possible so it’s ready for ECB! ---

Been busy with life stuff and helping friends and family with their cars and moving, so I haven’t really worked on this recently. Had some delays and stuff, but got some progress in today and planning on putting some time in on it this week. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/252322_4093992038841_971883100_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/252322_4093992038841_971883100_n.jpg) Got the engine harness mostly buttoned up, making mounts for PS cooler, oil cooler, catch can, and fixing the radiator mount tomorrow. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208935_4093994998915_916609018_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208935_4093994998915_916609018_n.jpg) ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/544966_4093999999040_161357726_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/544966_4093999999040_161357726_n.jpg) Control arms and outer tie rods. \*Which admittedly are way fucking overkill and subsequent sets are going to use smaller tube, but whatever. Sadly, I don’t think I’m going to make ClubLoose’s ECB with this, still have way too much to do. ☹ ---
