    I've been thinking about trying the Revshift bushings to correct the rear camber on the 323 instead of adjusters. Any thoughts?

      The raised subframe bushings?
      They help. Do it.

      Don't get the IE plates though.

I've been doing a lot of research and most of it doesn't seem to be too hard to actually swap it but since its a junk yard motor I want to rebuild it or at least the head. Doesn't anybody have idea how much work I should put into the engine. Will a head job be enough.

          You mean the raised subframe bushings? They make sense but then you'd have to get the raised diff cover bushing as well. Not exactly a negative but something to consider.

            JMP had no problem with the "posi-lock" adjusters. Hammered the car on Sepulveda on the way home. Feels so awesome.

              I have this setup on the touring. You can drive if you'd like.
              The only reason I'm not a fan is the tires rub on the fender (not the lip, the upper part). I suppose that's my tire size choice's fault.
              Other than that I enjoy it. Nice and planted in the back.

                Poly everything and -2.5 camber with 0 toe.

                Worlds difference. It feels so much more planted and increased grip and confidence on turns. Highly recommended if you've been thinking about it.

                      just posted in the socal parts thread but figure I would cross post it here...

                      does anyone have an extra throttle cable or cruise control setup they can scavenge thats laying around and can bring a specific piece to pelican cars and coffee tomorrow?

                      I only need the little round fitting that goes in the white clip...

                      seen here:



                      I already called pelican and I couldn't pick it up today because they say it takes 24hrs to process an order and they are closed on the weekends

                      -____-

                      this is the specific piece I need :

                        Pelican isnt too far from you... from all of us really. I tried to get my Italvolanti hub from them, but that had to be ordered from Germany :(

                            Not going to lie, Im a little annoyed that I am paying $150 for a hub but I am tired of looking at the steering wheel collect dust in my apt.

                                Yup... all good though. Its what I wanted and Im sure as soon as the hub is in my hands another one will pop up for half the price I paid. :shrug:
