Long time lurker. I’ve been building out my ea82 Gl for a a while and I thought I should start a build thread.

here it is in Baja Mexico!

 

 

so here the build so far:

-4inch body lift(6inch currently)

-ej25dohc

-poptop 

-crustom ifs (I bent one of the original lca)

-modded rear seats so the sit flat

-projector bulb retrofit/angle eyes

-custom aluminium bumper

 

Currently in the middle of building a vlsd rear diff.

which requires completely dismantling the vlsd and ea82 diffs, to the point of pressing out the threaded inserts in the spider gears.

New(about 9 months ago) adjustable ifs.

car now has slight negative camber and larger track width. 

With lots of tuning, it now handles extremely well (no sway bars) on and off the hwy.

thick DOM and a Johnny joint

very over kill. Its what I could source locally in a short manner of time.

 

These have hand many hwy and off road miles on them. No problems. Car has been jumped probably 8-10 times.

Hard to see, but in the top Conner here, the radius rod/trans mount is not dropped, instead the radius rod is longer. Much stronger this way as they no fulcrum to shear the mounts off.

the trans cradle is extend accordingly 

 

 

 

being the engine cradle is dropped 4inchs, but the radius rod mount is not, the geometry has changed.

There is now minor caster change threw suspension travel, but this dosnt effect hwy driving negatively.

Please show us more of the control arm/radius rod. Great idea and looks like it can easily be made to accept EJ ball joints
