thanks guys....i appreciate it a lot.. the rack spacers was one of the first things we did..2 racks blown and counting....lol
-for normal driving its ok to have but when constantly transitioning all over the place the racks really dont last too long...the real problem is the location of the lower a/control arm...its too short and doesnt allow clearance of wide tires...its eaten the inside lip of my 18x9.5's even with a 10mm spacer...
i was wondering if anyone was down to make and also try the custom lower arms. my goal is to push out and widen the front stance of the supra..prolly make a widebody using 2 fenders.. o well its progress...im just proud of showing people that the mk3 is not a bad platform for the sport. it just takes the right combination of parts and dedication to drive the car right.

thanks again you guys!:icon_razz

When I was drifting I was running a 240/40/18 as well. My rim is a 18x10.5 +15 though. No rubbing issues.

have you removed the bump stops yet? I did that and had 1/2" spacers on the stock rims and could turn the wheels out far enough to see the inside of the rims.

you going to be at the Vegas event?

Looking great.

It's certainly a big accomplishment to be able to compete in any FormulaD event.

Now get out there and represent that A70 like no one else ever has! :biglaugh:
