Things get started by pulling the front and rear control arms/hubs from the Eclipse. That will give us good wheal bearings, good ball joints, urethane bushings, and most importantly 5-lug hubs. That's going to let us use the 17x9 wheels off the eclipse and more improtantly the 255 wide tires. While we at it the L1R/FP manifold/O2 housing/exhaust/my intake manifold/JNZ relocated alternator were all harvested for the VR4.
The VR4 undergoes a similar treatment but we hit a snag working on the rear trailing arms. The VR4 has a 4 bolt rear diff and a new sub-frame was installed with it. Unfortunatly the trailing arm toe adjusters were installed backwards which meant we had to drop everything to get the old ones out. Good thing it only takes 6 bolts to get everything out. Once we got everything bolted back up and the new wheels and tires on we noticed the front tires sticking out a touch. I think once we the ride height up a bit and the negative camber where it needs to be they should tuck in. At least we hope.
