Do you find the sway bar hinders any gain in adjustment of the LCA's as I would assume the bar is always trying to bring them back to their original (factory) position?

thanks tony im aware of the twin cam bars benifits but trying to find one and the fact that i got this bar so cheap made my decision easy.
 
no worries rhys, im not sure what setup the rack extenders are for but i have the short ones are they were massively too wide so id hate to think how you would use the longer ones.
 
paul in most cases ive found using stock lca's and stock bars you usually have to struggle like hell to compress the bar enough to get it to fit the lca's, ive found with using the adjustable lca's its easier to wind it out more then what it is to wind to further in, as the unsprung width of the bar is greatly wider than the distance between mounts in a std setup

another thing i have been thinking of doing is rethinking my fuel setup,
 
at the moment im running a std drop tank, with a peirburg lift pump to a 2 litre swirl pot then onto a bosch vlt pump.
Both pumps and swirl pot are mounted inboot along with the two fuel filters.
 
This is my first concern with having rubber fuel line and high pressure basically inside the car and also the fact of having the std fuel tank with zero baffling. Ive noticed the later more so when drifting as u can feel the delay of the fuel tranfer in the tank on direction changes.
 
my plans (at this point with very little planning) are to cut out the entire boot floor from where it drops to the recess and replace at with an alloy sheet, either riv nutted of or pop riveted. then to run a Poly foam filled sumped fuel cell of about 45-50L proud of the new floor about 2-3inches, meaning it will still sit below the level of the rest of the boot floor. or raise the whole boot floor level to the level of the rails and run the whole tank under the floor.

Y not jus mount the whole tank in the boot and run speedflow for the lines and an 044 + filter

dont want to run the whole tank in the boot as i would much prefer the boot room as i regularly drive the car and do some interstate runs in it. and i would also prefer the weight of all that fuel to be lower so that not to upset the handling of the car.
running the tank lower also means i still may be able to reuse the factory fill point in the rear or run the side fill too

thanks, ive seen this car in the flesh, id like to run a similar setup with the tank but on a much larger scale, that one might not even get me to the shops and back.

Volunteered my time to the vic drift club as a scrutineer last weekend, gave me a good chance to check out some setups and sit my ass in some different race seats,
 
also found how i want to do my tank
