As of Dec 19, this is how Ronin sat. I had the rear completed with all new bushings except for the rear toe arms. Was waiting on the new ones to arrive so I could push out the new bushings and replace it with the Prothane ones. I also had the fronts done with brand new lower control arms and and Prothane bushings. I did however break the sway bar end link on the drivers side and had to order a new....

Over the next few months i kept finding these really good deals and had obviously decided that this was no longer a simple put it back together project. So I kept snatching up parts left and right.

While I was under the car taking out the drive shaft I had seen that a chunk of rubber was hanging out of one of my rear end mounts. So after the engine was pulled, I dropped the rear sub-frame. I ended up purchasing rear sub-frame mounts that were an aluminum/poly mix. Also ended up buying the prothane full suspension kit (by far the most time consuming part of the build).

Originally had a upgraded turbo, crap cams, water meth kit, FMIC, exhaust, and a shep trans. Blew the first motor, put in new one. Blew the turbo (was already on its way out but guessing from crap in first engine blow too). Upgraded to GT35R. Blew second motor (thoroughly...
