96' Zenki slight overhaul

[s14unimog]

So I've been meaning to take the plunge for a minute now and I think I'm finally doing it! The car's purpose is for drifting so every upgrade is attention to the departments that are lacking... I'll use this thread as well to give you feedback on the parts I'm using, in case anyone has been considering these upgrades.

Here is the car...


Item 1: Control Arms & Tires

I've been meaning to do this one for some time now. My camber was all jacked up and making my wheels look sunken. So, I bought Circuit Sports Rear Traction Arms, RUCA's, and Toe rods. So to cover the suspension catagory we've got front camber plates, Tein tie rods, Nismo Power Brace, SPL subframe spacers, ST sway bars, Polly TC bushings and the Flex's with EDFC. After searching, I finally found a local shop that would let me back there while they did my alignment, so I've got -.05 degree camber all 4 corners and the car running straight as an arrow. The tires I bought we're a set of General Exclaim UHP 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear; nothing special but they hold up well to some tire spin.










I took us almost 30mins to get the car on the rack; actually ended up pulling to front bumper to clear the wheel stops in the front. After they got the sensors on there we found out that I pretty much got the camber by eye but the toe was all fu*ked up.
