This style but with the hood the same color as the upper body and use different colors. White/black is so boring, the best looking two tone cars use the ugliest colors. The kind of colors that can't stand alone because it makes you sick to your stomach, but when put them next to each other...

ATS also makes LSD's for the supra. I just don't know who is the best shop to go through to get them. They're going by carbonetic in the states now for some reason and they don't show the listing for the supra on their website, but the JP website shows it. They have a couple different diff's...

I can't believe no one wants that. I would love to pick it up if you weren't on the other side of the country. But if you want to get rid of all of the suspension besides the shocks/springs, let me know. But you probably need it to get it to wherever it's going to go.

I think you're underestimating the leverage that could be gained from a properly setup system. And as for the clutch lever moving with the shifter, it could use a cable for the first part of the linkage to allow for movement. Too bad they don't seem to have any more info on the website about...

So if just this guys left knee is busted, then all you need to control electronically is the clutch. That's easy. Just do that what the first guy said. Make an electrically actuated slave cylinder, it wouldn't be hard to do. You would just need mounts and a solenoid that could put out enough...

I got the parts from a variety of places, some circle track shops and other places I have accounts with and then some things came straight from Bilstein. That dyno isn't at my house, but it was my home away from home when I was at school. Right now I don't have my own shock dyno anymore...

Yeah, you can put together a pretty simple setup and it will work well. I just like complicating the simple setup and making it work much better. I think I have some numbers for the valving that the dampers come with from Bilstein, I need to take a look at that again and compare it with some...

F1 chassis and other monocoques do not just use carbon fiber. There is also a core material and this is where most of the strength comes in. It also depends on the manufacturing process and how everything was layed up and cured to determine how strong it is. Have you ever compared a true...

Oh well, then yeah, they're heavy. But you can't lose weight without some sacrifice. But even at stock weight, it can still be setup to handle very well. You're just dealing with more mass. But it still can be controlled. But it will grip enough that you'll need to put something more...

But what's fuck weigh? And you can neglect the glass because the CF doors don't have glass either. And were the doors you say are heavy, totally gutted, like just the outer shell and something to hold them onto the chassis? I'm just playing devil's advocate here and trying to figure out...

I don't want to say pricing just yet because I an not a vendor on here yet, but it would be in the range of most of the entry level coilovers.

Now I don't know what kind of racing you guys are doing, but a lot of bodies require NASCAR style door bars if you're taking out the crash beam in the door. And if these doors don't have anything there, then you may either have to run NASCAR door bars or add some kind of support beam in there...

That was part of the shop I was working out of when I was at school. I did the whole formula SAE thing and that was part of the stuff we had. And I was the shock guy, so the dyno was mine for a whole year and I took full advantage of it. Right now I have access to a dyno at a local circle...

Zazzn, talk to Sasha at SG Motorsport, they aren't too far from you and he might be able to help you get things dialed in. Tell him I sent you.

Right now, it's stock everything besides these and adjustable endlinks that I made last year. I'm going to start designing the suspension arms for the front so I can get rid of the sloppy bushings. And one of my good friends is the guy who originally designed the A1 rear arms, so we're going...

Supplies started adding up, I'm not sure what the total ended up at. There was a lot of startup stuff that I didn't end up even needing to use. That yellow box in the one of the pics was full of different piston shims, and most of them are still in that box. I just needed a big assortment so...

I did it all myself. I decided what I wanted the curves to look like and then messed with the dampers on the dyno until I was able to get them right. It was a long and iterative process, but definitely worth it in the end.

A little over a year ago, we decided that my brother's supra needed a better suspension that blown stock stuff. I decided that the best solution would be to put something together myself. I'm not too impressed with any of the off the shelf stuff except the stuff that's priced through the roof...

Well you seem to be the kind of person that just takes info from people and repeats it. There is no explanation of how preload affects the valving or why, you're just saying that other people said you have to consider preload when setting up the suspension. I never said you don't have to...

What are you talking about with preload? Unless you're running a zero droop setup or preloading the spring over the minimum load it will see during driving, it won't make a difference to the damper. If you are preloading too much, then you're going to over extend the damper in rebound, meaning...
