    Find online a nice comparison for the stock low front arms and the aluminum sti ones.
    You can see that a lot of castor will be added. But i have to wait for the front axles removal, but first the engine must run.

    After some (a lot) of soldering, the speeduino it's nearly ready, time to start create the new wirings for the engine!

    The ecu is basically ready for the wiring, in the mean time cleaned the intake manifold/throttle body and removed the bifuel connectors, have to find someone with a Tig ac/dc machine to tap it out together with the EGR hole, i have a Tig welder but just for dc job so... Have to find also a new idle valve gasket seem pretty pricey

    The custom made short shifter works flawless and it's beautiful, really shorts travels and no play anymore! Also fitted some parts or the original radiator support to make space for the h6 one. Find a pretty solution without going crazy with too much fabrication, i just need to weld the new bar and make 2 support for the rubber support. Fit like a glove, so excited.

    Started to bench testing the sensor/actuator for the speeduino, everything works great.
    Closed also the EGR block side, still waiting some aluminium Tig welder to show up.

    Everything go smoothly, not so much time in the last week's unfortunately. Here the updates, most important one, shopped from KEIN the rear differential support, that should avoid any braking thru removing any movement of the rear differential, I'm blow away by the quality of the welding and the speed for fabrication on request.

    Distribution cleaned, now heads... Some valve cups pretty gone. Had to check them all and make measurements for correct size/gap. Also remake good valves seats.

    Everything seems fine apart from the bucket plates, some of them are eaten away. Had to replace them and redo the clearances.

    Progress, finally find a new camshaft, and ordered all the parts for close back the engine (lots of them) also lapping all the valves. Tedious work but we're closer and closer to drive this thing
