2JZ ohhh baby!

[IJ.]

When you lower a Mk3 you get to a point where you run out of adjustment and can either have correct Camber (wheel is 1 degree or so from vertical) or correct rear Toe in (rears are a bit pidgeon toed so the wheels form a V towards the front of the car) NOT both at once.

You want to go wider on the rears and were asking about rolling, When you correct the Camber the top of the tire will be closer to the Lip.

Only way I've found to correct this problem was to lengthen the Lower Transverse arms 15mm each, this puts all the adjusters back in the middle of their range with a low car.

ahhh I see now I see

they look good too maybe I'll even get a few more parts

just talked to BorHor and gave me a quick lesson on suspension, thanks!
I guess I'm aiming for 0 camber, since I'm mainly doing straights, and DD

Pic 2. As lovely as that dark grey is, it's getting played out.

Evo: Gotta have some Camber the suspension is designed that way.

 

[EvoLuTioN]

this might come off sounding really dumb, but why would they design it like that? And wouldn't that cause some uneven wear on the tires too since their not zeroed in

 

[IJ.]

When you turn into a corner it loads the rubber and you'll always have some body roll so they allow for all that to try and keep the tires as flat as possible under load.

We're only talking 1>1.5 degrees here it's not a lot the suspension system is that good

(this is the really simplified gumby explanation so there's no need for the geeks to hammer me ok )

I see you follow the Annoyingrob school of where to put your ECU

Bolted to the underside of the passenger foot well

 

[EvoLuTioN]

haha it was a thing I did on impulse and it came out good looks sweet over there and people usually dont even notice it unless they really look and thanks for the dumbed down version IJ!

 

[IJ.]

Evo: Very welcome!

In hindsight I should have skipped the whole 7M thing and gone either 2jz or LS7

 

[EvoLuTioN]

just started polishing the valve covers, lookin good already
also removed all the casting marks on it too

this is my new interior, it's pretty sweet

old owner got lazy and decided to just spray primer over mike urbano's old bumper and this is how it looks now


going to start painting the jambs either tomorrow or thursday, stay tuned

almost done fixing all the small imperfections.

engine bay as it sits now, I didn't feel like taking out the brake booster and the clutch cylinder, so their just going to stay there.
Besides that, everything else is all gone

the accessory harness? is all just tucked to the side for now until the engine bay gets painted.
The ECU is going to be relocated behind the turn signals (hopefully that fits)

Igniter and Resister pack tucked under wheel well, I don't know if that's the best idea, any suggestions?

 

[OneJoeZee]

I hope you're not going to paint over the brake booster and clutch cylinder.

 

[honestabe]

You aren't going to weld up the useless holes in your engine bay Lau?

I hope you're not going to paint over the brake booster and clutch cylinder.

no we're not going to just paint right over them, I'll figure out something, or the veteran painters will, they done this before

Adam

That's a good idea, considering theres a million holes that I dont ever need.

 

[lilazni3uoy]

^ Yep it's only 6 bolts.....
