TX Suspension?

I was gonna get the TIEN Flex system for comfort and performance but later on I might end up getting the Super Drift ones. I don't want to get the Super Drift since it is gonna be my Daily Driver :P

You could probably adjust them to ride like the stock suspension does.

Also, you could look in to Stance. I think they're cheaper than the Teins, and just as good. Also there are KSPORTs which are cheaper than both.

yeah, i can get KSPORT Slide Kontrolls for $900. They are great and have a inverted monotube design, are compression and rebound adjustable, and have 36ways of dampening adjustment.

I am running a 10 spring rate in front and 13 in tha rear. its really stiff(on the softest setting), because of the HIGH spring rates, so if you get the rates they recommend, 9 front 7 rear, you would be riding pretty comfortable.

Do they have a EDFC feature like the TIEN's? where I can do adjustments in a few seconds?

They are manually adjusted and the dampening can be adjusted on the bottom of the front strut, and the top of the rear. i set mine up and they feel great so i left them alone. Dampening is something you dont really need to adjust often, if at all.

Oh crap, I cant believe I just wasted my life reading this thread.

To the OP: Dont be homo, relicars are gay no matter how you slice it. So are repli-bikes...

To the idiots drooling over the car show ******. They dont like the cars they stand beside, they just want a picture of thier *** to make it in a magazine. They probably think they are standing next to a honda civic. Personally I would rather not have to worry about Hepatitus juices on my car..

You are such a douche. "im going to build my car because of a fictional car/cartoon"

How about be original? Build a car that actually exists based on something you came up with, not a cartoon.

"hey guys check out my Flinstones replica car, I cut the floorboards out of my Rx-7 so I can drive with my feet."

The other 7 posted on here (replicar) is clean and well put together, but would look even sweeter without all the decals.

Plus Napster, your car is a quazi replicar, you might as well have stuck redsuns stickers on you mom's white lumina.

Its a bother how annoying you are.

If you'll read my previous post youll see i never even heard of Initial D until my car was completed. Therefore i did not build my car to be just likesRys.

I just threw a sticker on it cause its white and RHD.

And I dont even have the sticker on my car any more.

Why would you take the time to read and look at all the stuff in this thread to state how you fell about Replica's? Any, ways have a good day and I hope all your future projects are a great success.

Peace

Peace... It's your car, do what you want., I just hate it when cool cars like ours get a bad name because of "useless trashy modifications"..

To Napster: I know why you did what you did, it makes no sense, but I have read your explanation. Your car is white and RHD, great reason.. I had a black trans-am I guess I should have put a LED light bar in the front and called it kipp??

uh......why didn't you!?!?! That would be badass.


It was Kit, btw.

HASSLEHOFF FTW!

I was thinking the same thing, I should get a black FC and put a LED light bar on it.
