The Cherry Bomb Glass packs were removed and replaced by Cobrapacks, which are essentially similar, but they are mufflers that go on Cobra kit cars for the sidepipes.

Turns out we can use the Xcessive Manufacturing SC400 solid engine mounts for our cars, the hole that goes to the mounts just needs to be drilled a little to fit but doesn't have any negative effects.

That's actually another idea I had as well, relocating the battery too the base of the trunk work in a shop now here in Oregon and there happens to be extra battery wiring they haven't used..🤔

Yup! Super nice coilovers, couldn't pass up the deal I got for them as the Megan's were getting worn at well over 90k miles on them. The NVH isn't bad, or maybe I'm just used to it. 😆 It's definitely a stiff car. Autocross this season will be better with things tidied up a little more.

Had a dangerously mushy pedal with the infamous e-brake flash under hard-ish braking recently, so ended up ordering a replacement master cylinder off of another LS400 which seems to have had it replaced with a fresh AISIN unit. This must have been off of one with either airbag suspension or something, cuz its reservoir was twice the size of my old one lol

Current alignment settings, need to get this touched up again to get camber finessed👌 eventually I'm shooting for three degrees of camber in the front to take advantage of the full tire contact patch under cornering.

Had to replace the front trailing arm bushings as it still ran the OEM one (the polyurethane bushings that I had at the time were the right ones for the rear of the arm but not the one for the front) So now the rear trailing arms have polyurethane bushings, I've got a few more to go to finish up the rear in poly but no rush.

Either that or the seals went bad, pedal is nice and firm as it should be now😁 I've bled it a couple times before that and it still felt like total mush, so I determined the MC was definitely failing. Not sure about the sensor, but this MC is the age of the car so I was not surprised to see it fail at 291,000 mi. I kept the old one just in case to rebuild it with a Toyota kit whenever this one starts to fail, which is probably gonna be a long time 😆 I'm debating doing an autoacross event this weekend, I'm going to have to get someone to get good clips though LOL
