Reply to "How much caster?"

@R Thorpe- There is 1 person (that I know of) here that's gone the Mendeola suspension route.  IIrc he did both front and rear and is in CA.  I think the front would be worthwhile (although I think IM's 911-914 front would be better) but $3295 US converts to $4198.41 Canadian (today).  Shipping to Point Roberts, WA (where I could pick it up if the border was open; I live in Burnaby, just east of the City of Vancouver, or the Lower Mainland, as we call it) has gotta be at least $200 and then there's the Canadian Goods and Services tax and the Provincial Sales tax (GST- 5% + PST- 7% = 12%)  on $4500 which adds another $540 so now we're at over $5000 to get it into the Great White North.

If one was building a car from scratch it would be something to consider, but at the moment it's too rich for my blood.  Last year I spent $5,000 (or close to it) on our FJ Cruiser (suspension lift, slightly taller All Terrain TA's, rock sliders- which we did ourselves, redid brakes) and we still need a front winch plate and a couple of other things, so no big ticket items for Speedie this year (unless I win the lottery- then I'll be able to build my dream type 1 2789, go to Henry at IM and talk about the 911 front end stuff and the truck will get a supercharger too! (think big evil laugh here!) Al
