this is one of my daily drivers...is it low enough? this is my first pic. post ...thanks to directfreak for helping me with some good computer tech!

 

Looks nice. Whats it got under it?

stock 12a automatic right now but soon it will have one of my 13B blow through systems [as soon as i get some free time] it should be interesting , im keeping it automatic..... hopefully the tranny will hold !!

 

automatic

I hate auto trannys. That is a sweet *** car you got though

 

how about the suspension setup?

 

the only reason im keeping it automatic is because its original, and im curious to see how it will run with the turbo motor .... just punch it and go , you dont have to take your foot off the gas to shift like a manual tranny.

 

racing beat front and rear sway bars, racing beat springs cut 2 coils front , 1 1.5 coils in the rear. koni shocks and struts all around

 

If you're gonna run a boosted 13b I'd recommend looking at beefing up that tranny, heh.

 

just start with low boost and slowly dial it up till it lets go Then report back and tell us how much hp a stock auto is worth.

But really...that damn car is low. I bet it rides like a dunp truck with that much cut off lowering springs.

 

does it bottom out at all like that?

how about binding in the rear? I've always heard that the geometery is way off if the car is that low in the rear.

Also, what size/offset are those wheels?

 

i like that alot actually.. make me want to do my suspension before the motor swap im planning..

 

doesnt the rear bind up?

i would like to go lower on my car. but Im worried.
everyone tells me its performace or looks and I want both.

let me know how it handles.

and is it me or do the front wheels on our cars stick out farther than the rear. Ive been thinking of getting whell spacers. anyone know a good supplier.

 

i made the watts link adjustable so it won't bind up(also to center the rear end) the car handles great! its a rough ride though

 

what kind of wheels are those? They look like the Limited Edition wheels, Are they?

 

the wheels are Enkei 92 model... the size is 15x7 with 205-50-15 tires

 

I've driven a 13B turbo 1st gen running a beefed up auto with a custom 4000rpm converter. Great fun and nice chirps through the gears.

Great looking car BTW.

 

Woulden't happen to know if you can still buy those wheels do you? Are they for a -se or a 12a car?

they are for a 12a car and are only available used ... unfortinatly most of the new style wheels are ugly and if you find some that do look good they don't make them in the 115 mm. bolt pattern! if you find some old school rims you like you can clean them up , like i did! leave me a pm and if i come across any i'll let you know!

 

Looks great. I don't doubt that it's a bloody bumpy ride.

 

Finally!!! Somebody agrees with me! New ones are all butt-ugly and look like chrome plated ceiling fans (immho)

BTW - nice car! Sure looks like it would rub, though!

 

The wheel in the upper left of this pic is what I tried to put on my car but it was too wide it's too damn bad because it is exactly what I want. It came off a friends supra. If you ever run across another set of them that will fit a -se let me know.

thanks

would you care to elaborate on this a bit, or is it classified info??? no, seriously, i'm curious, but if it's something you don't want to discuss, i'll understand.

also, how hard would it be to use an automatic from a Gen II car?

BTW, nice ride! that's just how i like 'em ... clean, and almost understated.

 

low enough..yes does your tires rub on the fenders....id role them back a few to make it last longer

You can move the center pivot on the watts link up to compensate for the axle being closer to the body, but the four link will always be binding and **** up the feel of the car. Plus I have a problem with cutting springs that aren't meant to be cut. But the car does look nice.
