Barramundi Design 180sx

Looking it over it kinda makes sense to just do the rear. Sure you could go double wishbone in the front, but how much of an advantage would you get at the cost of the added weight/complexity. You'd get slightly better geometry under turns, and better steering feel, but is it worth all the work? Raising the rear subframe and going inboard suspension gives you all sorts of room for your wheel/tire combo, and allows geometry to play nice and low ride heights. I always felt the rear end of the s13 limited the car for full blown race stuff.

Not the biggest fan of the exhaust routing, but I do enjoy the hanger integrated into the cage.

Also, anybody have any info on the funky variable cam setup? it kinda looks factory, but kinda doesn't..

Mmmm I'd say there are pros and cons definitely, but I doubt weight is one of them.

Looks like the VTC solenoid is unplugged, meaning VTC is probably disabled. Or are you talking about something else?
