My old faithful 1973 Hilux Toyota has been with me since Jan of 1973 with 696,456 miles and is still my go to for daily driving and hauling my new Husqvarna to the trails. It has 1 1/8 sway bar front, 3/4 adjustable rear, KYB shocks, pan hard rod and locating links. The motor was upgraded in 1975 to a 20r which is ported and balanced with 40mm Weber side draft, rebuilt twice, trans is 5 speed from a Celica, it was pretty quick in the day before I could afford my LSIS Ultralite, its 50th birthday is next month.

I drive a lot on the street and lots of track time, the Ultrashield seats suit my needs completely, a little memory foam and they are good for some long trips. Also several widths to choose from.

I hand cut and filed a piece of aluminum plate , didn't take all that long and you can custom size it

Looking to buy older Caterham, or perhaps pre-lit Westfield

I think this is a pre lit, given the alloy panels https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/la-center-lotus-super-seven/7094746112.html -
The people at QA 1 have been very helpful in helping me valve my shocks, and they have many body and shaft lengths to mix and match
-
I'm not sure about all springs, but the ones on my QA1 shocks have the poundage stamped on the base of the spring.

Tilt trailers are great, you don't have to mess with ramps. I have had some very low cars with splitters on this trailer.

Maybe work in a track day at The Ridge?

Just thought I'd sneak in a plug for my favorite track, Oregon Raceway Park, with one of the fastest track day cars out there, a Palatov, he really turns it on about the middle of the video. This was a private track day so not a lot of traffic, did I say I love this track.

use a thread pitch gauge that comes with tap and die sets?
