The only reason this has been left to festor is a lack of oil in NK,Saddam was a nutter and had terrible things done to his oponents but hey nobody cared about that really it was oil that kick started the USA into action,this fruit loop is far more dangerous and needs wiping off the planet asap.why are we waiting ffs.i say round em up,put em in a field and bomb the *******s :thumbup1:

Rear subframe bushes...
The chassis rail is only double skinned at the front and not meant for jacking at the rear,if you look behind the rear sill there are raised points next to the front subframe mounts,support it there.

Rear subframe bushes...
Just fit locking collars Joel,half the price,easy to install and you never have to replace later.They dont make much of a compromise in ride either imho.

engine rebuild
its up to you personally,but why not give it a freshen up,new bearings,stock or forged pistons your choice,i know what mine is,get the heads re furbed ie valves re cut into the seats and you have faith then should you choose to get it mapped.Maybe it can be mapped to a milliion horsepower whatever but on an engine 20 years old who would want to......its all ok until it goes wrong.Im not saying it will but flip a coin in the air and see how it lands.

guessing is now open !!
most of those mods are not power specific however id hope to see around 520 fwhp,if you had larger ic piping and cams maybe more,the ported heads will help but the intercooler piping will restrict airflow.

advice on insurance for cars with high modification
insurance is such a pain when you mention mods,i could half my traders policy if i was dishonest but its not worth it if it goes wrong,always best to declare anything youve done imho.When ive shopped around and say imports and engine mods watch em run for the hills,its crazy as i have over 12 years no claims and probaly do less than 100 miles a year in other peoples modified cars !!

Front lower arm ball joint advice...
universal rubber boot kits are available Joel,alot cheaper than a new joint.

Just bought zx (Problem allready) :/
In my experience with these engines its usually a sign of broken piston ring lands,under normal load they are will appear ok but as soon as you bring the car on boost youll get a smoke screen out the exhausts.Its worth doing a compression or leak down test first.

Fuel pump
If your in any doubt buy a new one,an old pump if worn will flow less.

rear subframe bush options
The collars lock from underneath and above by clamping the frame in place,they wont raise your the car Steve.Its the option i would go with everytime.

Leaking subframe bush
Just fit collars its the cheapest and best way.no more worries about leaks and a more stable rear end.
