So my GR Whiteline rear swaybar / Lancer droplink / aftermarket lower control arm experiment hasn't ended well..

A bit of angle iron will fix that.

Why don't you just go back to the standard arms?
Obviously the brackets are cheap pieces of sh*t that break & it's only a matter of time before the arms f**king snap. I've tried convincing jaan to let me swap the standard ones back in and throw the knock offs in the bin, but he likes them cos day is blu

The thought did cross my mind Toby..

Just make a new bracket? My rear sway bar will probably have the same problem as we have the same set up except different sway bars (ultra racing). Quality these days are really lacking.

It's not the sway bar, it's the aftermarket control arms or trailing arms(can't remember which is which) standard arms have the bracket built in.
Also I think that is his second or third bracket. I went through a couple (stronger each time)

First one I've broken. Won't break now. 5mm angle iron.

Oh. Must of been Matt that broke me aswell.
I still don't trust the arms

Yeah it's the trailing arm I think? Yeah I know that it's just the force that the sway bar exerts on the bracket is what wrecks it, was what I was trying to say. I don't exactly trust it either and half expect it to be made of something sh*t not billet 6061 or whatever it was. I chose them cause I couldn't be arsed with sourcing the bushes that go into the original trailing arm. Think the cost of them both equated to more than the new arms so just went for it.

Seems the president was one step ahead of me. Maybe weld in two bits of iron on each side of it so it's more like a triangle and that way doesn't bend. Although not sure if that would even Bend as most of the forces going to that bracket are just going up and marginally down.

Here is a post we prepared earlier.....

A few years back, the yanks started developing dual pump hangers. Few available now for early Evos & Eclipses. Might see which one is the best fit & try it with dual Walbros. Can then essentially use the factory fuel lines & not have to run them all around the ass end of the car to secondary pump. * RTA Engineer likes this*

Been trying to get this sorted for a while now & been wondering why half of these dual hangers are now obsolete... because Walbro have produced a 450LPH intank pump! Suitable for E85 as well. Sold!

I just got a fat thinking about it

But honestly, how loud is that going to be, might need to install bigger turbos to drown out the noise

Don't care. Car makes enough noise as it is

This is planning for my next forged donk!

Got a mate that's just finished a build & we heard the fuel pumps for the first time yesterday, duel aeromotive eliminators in the boot, dynamatted to the shithouse and they're still the loudest f**king thing on earth, literally can't hear the 1600hp engine over them. He's not sure what to do about it lol but definitely can't keep them in the car that loud. Sounds like a f**king 2stroke motorbike at full throttle constantly.

I await the day when fuel pump drone achieves the same status as exhaust note.

"Hey guys, new to the club! Want do my first fuel pump mod to my new car! Looking for less of a whine and more of a buzz. What would you recommend?"

I love the sound of loud fuel pumps, is that weird?

Dude there's no way u could love the sound of these.
I had a loud external walbro in the hilux, and it was cool. These eliminators u have to talk louder to actually have a conversation in the car etc

I had a stupidly loud one in the eggbeater. The motor was so loud you couldn't have a conversation at all when the car was running and never bothered installing a head unit because you wouldn't be able to hear it. Couldn't hear the pump when the car was running either.. but uber loud when ignition was on with engine off. Loved it.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
