Steering rack spacers or J's track rod ends can be used to improve the geometry.

He already uses rack spacers. and if he goes any higher, he'll be fouling the chassis. You can easily solve this by turning the TTEs upside down. Free and 100% effective.

Then the ball joint wouldn't seat in the hub properly?

I use these:



You can adjust the spacers to correct the geometry as required.

With the added advantage that the spherical bearings reduce play.

Sorry to be a sad sack but the picture of the car parked next to the truck looks stunning,it seems a shame to spoil it with stickers.

if you look at the date it had been over a week and was hoping the project would have moved on since then

Just got back after 2 weeks hols, hence the lack of updates......

In my absence a fair bit of stuff has come in to put on the car, all will be revealed shortly on that front with some pictures. Those who have seen the latest Total Honda will have seen a sneak preview of the new one off made seats Corbeau have done for us already

Was hoping to come back today to the engine and box being in the car, but it seems we are having problems mating the OEM clutch pull type system with the Quaife box, will take a look for myself tomorrow and see whats what...

Will be back later this week with some more info on whats happening in HEL....

Plenty more pictures of whats been going on with the car to come next week, but in the meantime heres one of the custom made seat Corbeau have done for us. Its based on the Revolution seat but has been completely re-moulded so it doesnt have the 'wings' at the top which were fouling on the b pillar of the roll cage.

As an added touch, Corbeau branded it for us and coloured it to match the car. Top top job

If anyone wants something bespoke like this for their car this mould is now available through us and I can confirm 100% it fits in the S2000 without issue, even with a big fat cage in like ours
