    best suspension combos

    thanks Wiisass... i didnt think itd be easy to select the proper spring rate for a given shock but wow, that quite a bit to take into consideration. So, youd prefer my idea of throwing sleeve-over's on aftermarket shocks rather than megan's or an equivalent entry level coilover? last...

    how would these look/fit?

    ew... an EG hatch? if it has to be a hatch, it should at least be an EK. and Vtec is highly overrated unless you are talking about a K-series swap. if not... Fuck the Vtec and just do a Turbo D-series. 230whp, pump gas, daily driver, no stupid buzzing noises and 38mpg.. D16-Z6 ftmfw (with a T3...

    Using an A1000 pump w/o sumping, heres my idea...

    Figgie is 100% right. if money wasnt an object, nor sumping... i would totally run a Weldon before an A1k or multiple intank's. Nash seems to be hitting on another key point that ive heard floating around the drag scene about the A1k's not lasting forever. they are considered a wear item, at...

    Lotus-born suspension on the MKIII Supra?

    cam angle? sort of, more like valve angle. GM sold off their shares of Subaru, i think it was sometime last year. kia has NOTHING to do with toyota? just like hyundai had nothing to do with mitsubishi in the sonata? lol

    anyone using a Holset HX-35 from a 94-02 Dodge Ram Diesel?

    well, lets not forget that most diesel applications routinely run high pressure ratios so they will have a wider trim variant. there will be quite a big difference between the inducer diameter and the exducer diameter. can someone confirm the sizes of the HX35? id rather not go out to my...

    Having issues pulling r154

    yeah, mine was loose too, after the toyota green gasket. once i reassembled my shifter, i took a 12" socket extension and used my rachet as a hammer. i reshaped the top shifter retainer plate since it had gotten warped and deformed over the years of driving. the edges of the center opening...

    Using an A1000 pump w/o sumping, heres my idea...

    nah, i moved further north, to the north side of pasco county. i wonder if those magnafuels would be more reliable than an A1K.

    spec multidisk clutch

    lol. TKO's arent rated any higher than an R154... isnt that just a 3550 or something? i mean, i know people who run 10's on stock mustang V8 T5's but tahts in a car that weighs 1000lbs less than ours. just cuz itll survive in a fox-body doesnt mean we can do the same thing. and, having a...

    why bother going bigger than 264's?

    justin, the 272 set dropped power just as much as the small cams. revving higher wont uncover a magical, second torque peak at 8000rpm. and who gives a shit what the numbers mean? how bout we just call them Small and medium. or cam set A and cam set B. the progressive logic in the past...

    Need DRFT Pics...

    i hope youre joking... for an NA 4 cyl, they have more bottom end torque than most of what else is out there. they just dont rev past 5k while making any power. i have a friend who drifts an S13 hatch, 100% stock except an intake and a welded diff. even the E-brake is so stock that it doesnt...

    spec multidisk clutch

    ah... my friend's car is mostly stock except the cam. it has stock heads from a different motor and something like a magic stick 3. its got Sandersen long tubes, X-pipe, bullets and dumps... then the single stage. a black car eh... if it was mint, and driven by a soft-spoken black kid named...

    Lotus-born suspension on the MKIII Supra?

    race tuned, as in... GroupA? the pics that were in the groupA thread on here made the MK3 look as if it could actually Turn, and not Suck at it.

    Help needed: OEM stereo wiring, just about hooked up!

    i really hope you can get it to work. i love when people dont give in to aftermarket stuff and go the extra mile for stock-appearing upgrades like this.

    Lotus-born suspension on the MKIII Supra?

    yes i have heard of saabaru... i actually like that so much better than the WRX wagon. but if saab isnt partially owned by subaru or vice versa, then that reinforces my statement that it could just be Saab buying cars from Subaru, rebadging them and selling them as their own... just like a...

    why bother going bigger than 264's?

    well... sound performance confirmed the testing... ill grab the sheets for you. and the cams WERE shimmed and degreed to eliminate as many variables as possible. brb ok, here is the real-world testing. it was actually intended to test the claims that reverse-stagger setups are beneficial...
