i would bet that noise is the spherical bushing in the hub. ive had like 6 plus parts cars and the spherical bushings are always shot. for the most part the bushing are usually fine with the lower control arms being the second most worn part. as far as upper control arms they are only there to...

i can vouch that they are good quality and the kit is pretty thorough. even has the pcv tube to throttle body hose. my buddy got it for his truck that i helped him build. heres a pic of it

ive had one on my car for like 2 years and its been good to me until this past drags on 20psi it was slipping toward the end of the evening. i think the heat from burning out then launching was a little much for it. also broke my trans that i rebuilt about 6 years ago. got it appart and the...

from my experience with the ct26 the stock waste gate spring is the issue. for best results put two washers between the waste gate and compressor housing. then use a boost controller from there. doesn't matter what boost controller you use when the waste gate is getting blow open. at one point i...

i have a ebay intercooler. pretty sure its 12x24. and im just gonna use the waste gate to control boost from now on. but i agree with you just a old ball and spring mbc seems to control boost the best with little hassle as far as boost controllers. and the numbers it made are solid for a...

heres my take on it and ive had both front bumpers on my car. forever i was all about the 89+ and didn't really like the 89- but this past january i crashed my car and had trouble finding a nice 89+ bumper that was worth painting so i had some fun with the 89- bumper from my parts car. and after...

haha yeah i'll admit i was little surprised at first but there are some things that i had to factor in which made me not feel so bad. first off they don't call dyno dynamics heart breakers for nothing. they read lower than dyno jets which is what most people post their results as. people will...

my plan is to just run 17psi in the wastegate for autocross/daily then when i go to the street legals i'll swap springs. its not really that hard to do with my setup so i don't mind and think thats going to give me the best results. yeah i have a feeling its going to gain a lot bumping the...

haha i like the list! i would say if its at 150k and has never had the hg changed i would do that with arp head bolts (easier to install than studs and will be plenty for your goals). while doing that you can replace all the hoses, gaskets, vacuum lines, ect this will get the motor nice and...

i have a aem truboost. ive read about it quite a bit. some people have got it to work pretty good but still even then they say it varies 2psi ish. so say you want to run 18 it spikes to 20 then fades to 18. then some people have horrible boost spikes and got rid of the thing all together. really...

nobody has anything to say!? no even a peep? should it be moved to the dyno section or is this forum really that dead now??

so my buddys shop finally got their dyno! they did a dyno day yesterday and i got to see what my car makes. the first pull was on wastegate which is 15psi. the other two were on 18psi with my boost controller. made good numbers on 15psi but on 18psi it was fading boost. ive known it fades boost...

yeah thats what i keep hearing and reading! im still not positive on what kit i want to get. the cobra kit seems to be a pretty good upgrade from stock. but then i figured if im gonna do it i might as well get the arz kit as they seem to be the best kit that fits in a 17" wheel. the nice thing...

thanks! and yeah its always a good time :biglaugh: haha yeah its a rush. in the first video that i got around pretty quick. only thing is the 180 right before the timing i could have carried way more speed through there and spinning like crazy in the straight didn't help either but oh well...

so this was my first event ive been to all year. my car was down for a while and last months got canceled. need to get a little practice before i hit thunderhill later in the summer after they complete the west section! and no cones where knocked out of their box ;)...

sadly i don't know what it was but id say 2 seconds or low 2 seconds. the way they do the street legals here is you don't have to pay to run but you have to pay 5 bucks for printout of your slip. so i had my friends seeing what i ran and told me when i came back. i didn't buy that run cause i...

so been happy with where my car is at for a while with the na-t 2jz. then this past january car got a little loose in a down poor and i hit a sign :wtc:. did some pretty heavy damage but was able to fix it all myself and its back on the road!!! ended up bending the subframe, lower control...

oem style front bumper replacements!

thanks for clearing that up. helps when you have a explanation behind your reasoning instead of saying oh its fine. i guess all the stock ones ive messed with that have preload its so light it had been unnoticeable too me when installing them. anyway cool gonna sell my old set and have the nice...

yeah well if you guys don't see how thats an issue then oh well haha. i think its just sorta bs that they aren't made perfectly even where as the toyota one they should base it off is.............................................looks like somebody can pick up a set of sway bars for cheap then...
