    Thoughts on a Staggered Setup?

    Sorry..I'm still not following you. You mean to say that the entire car will be raked when using such a setup?

    just a question

    0.05 is a large overbore. For some reason I think the suggested max is 0.04. You are making your cylinder walls very this for little gain. Also, you will need a new block if those cylinder walls are ever damaged. Also, punctuation is your friend...use it.

    Thoughts on a Staggered Setup?

    So you are saying that a 17" wheel weighs more than an 18" wheel with tires of equal width and outside diameters?

    Turbo Going Bad? Blue smoke..

    Those are the exact symptoms that my car had when my valve stem seals were gone.

    Yet another wheel off-set question...

    I plan to run 245's in front and 275's out back on simialirly sized wheels. Something to consider when doing a staggered setup is how the tires affect such things as turn in. With a wider tire on the rear of the tire, it makes it harder to turn the car. ie: understeer The greater the...

    Potential Races: Cobalt SS, Bullitt GT Stang, Stealth R/T, boosted probe...advice?

    Only you can answer that one...can you launch?;) It is possible to launch a Mk3 but not too many have mastered it. This fact is proven time and again at Supra meets everywhere. lol I can personally say I can't launch but I've only been to the track twice and only run about 5 times.

    Trying to get the camber back into spec

    Sorry...the bushings aren't sold seperately? So you mean you need to buy a whole kit? Has anyone done this recently and can give me a parts/cost list?

    Trying to get the camber back into spec

    From what I have read it is not a good idea to torch out the bushings...the preferred method is to cut them out with a sawzall or other type of tool. However, this was not my question. I want to know what parts I need to buy from the dealer to do the whole job and/or if the A1 camber kit...

    Trying to get the camber back into spec

    Hey guys, I need to fix my camber issues before I spend $1000 in tires just to have them wear out. The problem is that my alignment bolts are frozen inside the bushings and can't be adjusted. I want to know what my options are. For example, what stock components need to be replaced...

    gilberjj's build-up thread!

    Remote turbo's are actually a great idea and have some advantages to turbo's in the engine bay.

    $3000 to spend...

    Quoted for hilarity and truth. EDIT: And I'm with Starscream...he has his shit together. Doing it his way should ensure that it will be fun for many summers to come...not half of one. lol

    Why? 'cause your lazy? I'm sure the other people's resonses have been light hearted...so far. I doubt they will continue to be so if you overreact to every comment. Take my advice and learn to use the search/ ask good questions. You will find that almost all the people here are great to...

    Black Tar deposits on back bumper from exhaust?

    Not tar...carbon. I have this as well and attribute it to my car running rich. I also have a high flow cat so I'm not sure that just getting a cat will resolve your issues.

    what should I expect for horsepower

    Low 400's depending upon how good of a tune you can get with just an SAFC II

    Doward's 375rwhp Build.

    My R154 is way smoother than a T56. The only thing I liked about it while driving was that there are 6 gears instead of 5.

    Took the plunge...new wheels

    My exhaust was done custom by Raptor Racing. The muffler is a modified Magnaflow with 3" inlet and dual 3.5" outlet.
