Why not 4WD the Starion itself ?
Also how does an adjustable cam wheel work exactly ? changes the whole cam timing cycle......but then how does it improve performance...?
Also, have you got the CAD drawing for that plate added to the original cam wheel ?

Cookie you do excellent work. Very clean. I'd like to know if the break upgrade was a kit or homemade. That car should really run well. Look foward to seeing some results.

The brake upgrade was homemade but had input from a few people.
The wilwoods were used since my mechanic (Ron @ Coltspeed) used these calipers to good affect on his Sigma rally car.
We then tried to find a disc that would be suitable for our needs. Browsing the DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) catalog we noticed that NSX discs would be perfect. Larger disc with very similar offsets to the Starion disc.
I then went about making up some mounting brakes to mount the calipers.
After this was done Merlin (of this forum) took my mounting brackets one step further and modified them so they mounted more securely. He basically refined the mounts considerably and had them made up professionally.
The pedal box I bought and installed myself. It was fairly straight forward.

What length coil over are you using. There is a company here in the US (Ground Control) that makes or did make at one time a coil over kit for out cars that supplied an 8 inch spring with the kit. Many people say that the spring should only be 7". That when using the 8" with the sleve adjusted all the way down the car barley sits below stock ride hieght.
