Hoping to do a front-engined R1 conversion, although a VTEC seems more sensible for a daily... hmmm head or heart?

It's a mk4 bonnet with the lip trimmed off, as I believe the mk1's have different hinges and I couldn't be doing with swapping hinges over haha

Group 5 arches, 6x12" minilites

Front: 3/8" spacers, hi-los wound all the way down, 1.5^o negative camber arms

Rear: 7/8" spacers, spacered drums, hi-los (need to go lower, still experimenting with ride height), 1.5^o negative camber brackets

so youve got spacers on top of spaced drums on the rear? do you need extended studs for them too?

Yep, I think they're the widest spacers they sell for spacered drums. The extended studs come with the spacers kit on minispares

and do the studs just come out like they do on the front

The studs just push out and you push the longer ones in, it's important to get them dead straight though or they won't align with the holes in the drum
