thats not bad, haahha.
expensive meaning could have been sold and got an open for free? then trade said nugs for the weld job, profit?

but that process takes so long. haha im lazy, prob would have just left it.

thumbup

 

I can see zenki making a hemp headliner with a glass turbo trumpet with warts n swirls and **** on it in the future.

Probably one of these too.

That second link, pay close attention to the bottom of the page.


That would be awesome.

Not too long ago, i was into collecting glass, waking up to orange crush and going to sleep to NL/AK. Damn you employee **** testing!!!!!

 

Good lookn Bird for that 7StaR exclusive angle mod...

1st event ever with the car and angle mod. Car is way easy to control
and the slide action is to sick...
Love how my car looks when deep in angle... Gotta love chrome!

on a daily driver side of things.. my U Turns are a lot easier to bust...

Cant wait to get my suspension settings correct for a lil high speed track drifting...

 

How is daily driving with modded knuckles? I've heard it's a no no...

 

doesnt seem too bad to me.

 

My friend said it was too twitchy and what not. Guess I'll have to see for myself.

 

i dont think 5.0s.... came open....

 

haha what? You don't even notice you have knuckles until the first time you drift with them, and you're like "Oh **** I'm spinning... Oh wait, I have angle now" and then floor it.

Oh yeah, I've daily'd cars with modded knuckles for like 3 years now.

 

This is what I needed to hear! Thanks!

 

I've got....

Suspension/brakes
-Cusco Comp-S coilovers in the front
-Tein Super streets in the rear (not sure of the rates)
-RB sway bars front and rear
-tein pillow ball front and rear with camber adjust in front
-Cusco strut bars front and rear
-stock knuckles
-stock t2 brakes
-drilled rotors

Engine
S4 13bt large streetport
3" turbo back Apexi (VERY loud, FLAME ON!)
SAFC and soon to be a Rtek
S5 turbo with ported wastegate and a divorced wastegate
ALL emmisions bs gone!

Wheels
Stock T2 wheels
40mm spacer in back



I havent drifted at all because the motor blew up! Any suggestions on more suspension stuff or setup like caster/camber? This will be a weekend car only.

 

Yeah throw out the front swaybar it gets in the way.

 

Front sway bar? Ive heard rear but never the front.

 

Some people run without both

 

doesnt the front sway get in the way of modded knuckles?

 

It does. I'm not sure how close it sits with just the basic bolt on angle **** because i pulled the bar off while i was under the car to save time. I can ask my buddy ryan about that because he refuses to ditch his sways.

I'm getting my knuckles done in about two months! Yay. Even though i'm underpowered, the price and support of the shop was too good to pass up.

 

I need to take a BFH to that lip once the car is running. There is still more angle to be had and I don't have the inner spacers on yet. Might not even bother with them.

 

Hey TII, is the frame rail inhibiting before the sway?

That's what it looks like but it could be the angle of the two pics.

My wheels rub the **** out of my stock tubs up front at lock. I was under the car doing my oil pan today (got it off and then came the rain) and noticed several shinny spots from it. +15 17x9.5, 205 40 and your typical angle enhancing rods. What gives with that ****?

 

And pagonizedfslkjasdadooder: Diff. Seat. No kidding. When i first got into working on my fc, that's what ALL these guys told me. If you're going to buy aftermarket parts get a good seat and a predictable, well-locking diff first and foremost. I had a racing 2 way....probably not the best lockup for noob drifting at all and switched to a welded, put my seat in and omg. It was like a totally different car. All that really changed from the last time i slid it was the diff, more stretch on the tires with less sidewall and a seat. I was watching my brother flop around doing a horrible job of filming in the stock seat while i really didn't feel the force of the car at all pushing me.... You'd have to experience it to understand but trust these guys. However sometimes it pays to think outside the box.

I hate the 30 minute edit window. If you have to take a deuce or something you have to post consecutively.....

 

^^word.

atleast buy some spacers! this is a fashion show, jump ship!
and seriously whats up with retaining the plastic brake ducting?! this isn't the 24hrs of lemans, remove that ****!

 

Needs both as well as an alignment.

On my car with the RB bar there was a **** hair difference between hitting frame or swaybar. With the stock bar it will probably hit frame first. That little lip that the tire is touching is just that, a pinch weld lip. It can be hammered flush with the rest of the outer frame rail. I'm also not sure about your rubbing issues. Wheels currently on the car are those **** 16x8 0 wheels which will be sold as soon as I pick up some good sized quality wheels. At the moment my car is a garage queen and not all that low. Ill find out once my car is running and I get it to the track.

Spacers aren't needed at the moment, besides the wheels would have some serious poke. **** that fashion show ****, I'll let my driving do the talking. I have no interest in hard parking and my car will be street driven so I'd prefer to draw as little attention as possible. Brake ducts will be axed as soon as I get a pair of oil coolers on the car.

Car is on the back burner until I buy a house within the year. She should run in a month or so.

 

13bre! ****!

 

re is the way to go

 

500 wheel HP on pump gas or bust. Might have to throw in a little preturbo water injection.

 

im throwing water inj on mine

 

Awesome, I like everything about water. High latent heat (double that of Meth) to pull gobs of heat from the turbo and it steam cleans while you drive. It also broadens your compressor map by making the air more dense. Meth only beats water when it comes to raising your base fuels octane because it's rated at 110 and is also easier to ignite because it's a fuel. But because it's a fuel you have to pull gasoline when it comes on which is not necessary with water unless you're running rich using the extra expensive gasoline for cooling. Water you can throw on and go. If your ignition can handle it water is the way to go. Are you gonna run a twin power? How many cc's at what boost are you planing on.
