I'm curious what the under car rails look like...are there pics anywhere? Are they available now? I must not have searched well enough.

Group buy on the springs as soon as they come out? I was going to look at some pedders because I'm tired of the ridiculous wheel gap but I don't want to lose any handling or ride quality, but I think I'm going to be keeping my eyes on these now.

I hope John/Gloria see this

x2 I have a set that were made by Urace and they were called sub frame connectors. I wonder how similar the design is.

roughly the same, except for jack points we build in, and fastener hardware with bolt plates that we make to facilitate easy install...and powdercoated...

These are the URC ones. John's are fairly similar, but this should give you an idea:

Before they went on the car, getting primed:



Bolted and bonded to the car:

Hmmm...sometimes I think I should turn my car stock and pick up an LS sedan with a stick...yes, that's right, still a 2.2 sedan...lol. But I think I'll finish what I want to do with my car and work on getting a Sonic 1.4...

Since this one isn't worth anything, I might as well keep it as a back-up. Maybe if I get bored...race car...build engine, strip down, FI...

Nice I can't wait. Any install tips? I'm a little intimidated never touching engine/trans mounts before but I'm sure it isn't too bad. Should I do the front mount or spacer first? Also did you have to "jiggle" the engine at all to sit in the right position or was it fine just bolting it up?

Follow the instructions, Powell will send them to you if you ask, it takes some messing around to install the rear spacer. Let the downpipe cool down so you don't burn yourself on it. Took me and a friend about 2hours, we where in no rush and drinking beer and bullshitting while installing.

Any chance of a YYZ group buy when they launch? I predict those things will move fast

The red looks awesome. But i have no clue what color to get. I have a black ss with blue couplers for my dejon cp and blue interior lights. So what would look good with that? Im thinking the candy purple. I like the small bit of blue ive done but im not really a fan of blue so i would rather my sway bar not be blue. What colors would kinda go with that bit of blue i have? Thanks guys.
