have not reinstalled yet but they are much stiffer from a simple stick a screw driver in the center bore and torque them. here is an image right after I did them. And best of all it cost me 26$ for the 1 tube of window weld, compared to the 300$ for the only other options it really is a no...

Filled mine with 3m window weld. It was very easy to do.

Bushings look nice. If I could find an aftermarket option for 150 or less I would buy them. For now, and since I want to get the car back together asap I will be filling my sub frame bushings with 3M Window Weld.

No the OE ones were about the same price. ~60$ each. The poly bushings should really be quite a bit cheaper than an OEM style bushings. Price out OEM control arm bushings compared to Energy suspension's bushings for example. Just the upper front control arm bushings are more from toyota then...

Yeah it is looking like Ronnie K is the only option. I just can't get over 300+$ just for the rear subframe bushings. I think I am going to fill my OEM Bushes with Urethane instead.

Thanks, that is helpful.

I thought the Toyota ones were still available for 89-92 cars just not 86-88. According to Curt@Elmhurst they did change at least in part numbers from what I have seen. I was just hoping for something that doesn't have to come from Australia/New Zealand and is stiffer then Stock. But if Ronnie...

Thanks!

My rear subframe was somewhat rusty and I found that it was cracked as well. Therefore I am replacing it with a used southern subframe but I would like to replace the rear subframe bushings. I thought this might be a good thread to post the different sources and pricing for front and rear...

Can anyone confirm if any of the control arms need to retain the OEM bushing's outer sleeve when installing the Energy Suspension front and rear bushing kits? The instructions do not mention anything about this but I figured I would as before I get one out and find out I need it.

^^^RS3's and NT05 are available in wider sizes. My car was only on 245/265 XS's, I didn't mind the setup. I would like to get some CCW C10/12's and run a 285/295 or maybe a 295/315 setup. We will see though.

I think you will likely see me at some NASA events next year. I am just not sure if I will be doing the TT stuff as I do not like completely open passing, and cannot write off my mk4. Try some street tires out there, Maybe you will like them. I had a few friends running BFG R1's out there...

Nice job Alex, getting closer to the 1:22's! Maybe you will see me out there next year, although I may try to never run with Council again...Still on the fence about it Its really not that bad, except for a couple select areas (Brake zones) imo.

Yeah we will see what he decides to do with the VUE. Can't wait to see his 510 out there. As for the sudden loss of grip, a car in front of me dropped fluid on the track (coolant) leading to the sudden grip lose. This never happened to me before and it was pretty scary/unexpected from the...

Here is a couple more on track videos of my mk4, and if you look near the beginning of my page there is a lot of video of my mk3 at Road America, and Blackhawk Farms. From the MAP Proving Grounds 2012, Brainerd International Raceway Competition course, first time to the track...

From the looks of your sig I see you have a 1jz engine. For my 2jz I run it a little over full and I have a big 25 row oil cooler on it just to make sure it has as much cooling as possible for the long sessions. Otherwise on my 7m I run it a quart high, stock oil cooler (this will be changing...

Yeah the whole situation with MCSCC sucks. I am considering doing NASA TT stuff next year however, I am not sure I want to race my mk4 with completely open passing that they have. I couldn't stand to see it get damaged. What tires were you on for this event?

Damn that sucks Alex. Luckily it looks like it was not too bad, but that is a fast corner on that track. I really wish that track had proper run off and walls instead of trees. There are some places where if you go off you will be hitting large trees, which is not good. I'm not sure if you...

Yep we run lots of different configurations there. The guy riding shot gun was auto-x'ing his Saturn Vue sort of as a joke so he was commenting how the Supra could turn a lot better then the Vue. Per usual the car was an absolute blast out there. Here is a video of the Vue :)...
