i'll hit you up on there right now.

my mind is gone with trying to figure out my steering situation... i need to re-do one spindle.

i need to get 2 new tie-rods since mine were cut for the old spindles, and now i need that extra 1/2" back. i moved the balljoint, and now my tie rod angle is too extreme. i need to move the rack up a little, and raise the car....
on top of all that i still need to get a set of 35 series front tires since they're rubbing chassis. i guess i'm going to do tubs to fix it all or maybe just cut it out for now, and tub it later.

still no ECU.... still need to wire the chassis.
i'm laggin'

there was a dude selling secret element extended tie rods out here. they're already extended the length of a rack spacer. but i've been broke/using my money for court fees....
i'll look into the mazdatrix ones

sounds expensive already haha PS2k is sick!
i need to get money first to buy anything. if you want to message me a price i'll see if it's even near my budget for an ems. trying to get my traffic fines all paid off to get clean/clear of looking over my shoulder 24/7 out here.

idk if i need another spacers worth. i screwed up, and added a bunch of DMAX mini spacers from 240s, and i had to cut some of the inner threads of the outer tie rod end off + i originally cut off that 1/2" or so off the tie rod itself. so if i were to just start over, i'd probably be good. but idk.

my right wheel rubs the tub where the injector resistor pack used to be bad before it gets near lock. then it rubs the rear frame rail before the brake caliper bolt hits the LCA. i need to redo the right spindle, and lower balljoint, because i noticed it's slightly bent upward from hitting the infield wall @ Irwindale.

so im hoping new spindle, new balljoint, and two uncut tie-rods will be able to get my alignment straight, and not rub anything at lock. i should try to back out camber a little also. maybe that could help since my front wheels are -31 offset and still hitting.

^^WOW sick prices. Whats the quality like??

Joey@9KRACING 03-11-11 12:13 PM

^on point

I have one installed in my 240sx and its awesome.

This is coming from a guy who has owned painless/summit and whatever else has been on the market.

Takes a while to ship since he makes all of them himself.

the wastegate or the eardrums?

driftfcbuckey 03-18-11 03:26 PM

we dont need those. ^

driftfcbuckey 03-23-11 08:15 AM

scored a TII parts car for stupid cheap the other night. have a full backup drivetrain for this season, as well as a spare motor i'm rebuilding with fresh RA 2mm cryo/race spring kit. going to have it pinned, and hopefully built between round 1, and round 2 depending on how much time i have.
photos coming soon.

still in the process of painting the car, and finishing up the tube chassis. kinda behind, but at the same time not really. could bang everything out in a week if i have to.
