im pritty agressive when i drive. in track racing im always in four wheel drifts lol i like to push my car to the limits and farther.

 

I think jtp's knuckles are cheaper at 350 (his shop is hotline in cali). powered by max knuckles are also 350 I believe. and there was some other company on here that sold modded knuckles for 250 but don't remeber their name. drift works or something maybe? not sure. just saying that you can save 50 over the drift union ones. JTP_'s are proven mega angle. you will be hitting LCA/frame/wheel well before lock unless you run super low offsets.

 

ya saving money would be good. drift union is in kelowna so i dont have to pay for shiping or duty fees. he makes them himself. how do i tell if i have a VLSD in my car with out pulling my diff????

 

just spreading some knowledge if you didn't know it. ya, after shipping might be more then 400 for the others. I"m drifting open diff. pbm coils and na with 5th/6th ports not working. racing beat header, presilincer, 2.5" pipe to a 2.5 in/out universal thrush muffler. just keep my rpms cranking, like 6k + constant. my buzzer goes off from time to time but I'm not drifting banks either. mostly second gear stuff. so ya.

 

No i apreciate the knoledge. Every little bit helps. This is my first runing fc so i have lots to learn. Any tips or advise you got your more then welcome to share. So your not runing a turbo?????

 

I'm not running comps. I just mess around in lots and a few corners here and there (with guys as spotters, not trying to kill people. its 2am stuff anyway. rural). I have a t2 block torn apart. still need my manifold and turbo (not sure if I'm going stock s5 there or shooting for 350rwhp out the gate yet, s4 keg cause I gots s4 base. no sunroof! haha) and a different intercooler since I decided to go v mount right off. figure do it right the first time, instead of front mount. then I still need the t2 rear end and driveshaft. have t2 trans. don't have $$$, even for my rebuild.

also, what I was going to do for a while is get an s4 t2 clutch type diff, get the thicker plates from mazdatrix and flip the springs so it locks harder and faster. see how long it works. essentially "shimming" the diff. look up shimming diffs via the method in my sig if you don't understand. I think it would be a pretty good little 1.5 way-ish setup if it lasted. better then dropping 1k on a Kaaz. and its not welded. (although I don't care, I could weld my diff as I have an open na but I daily my car and don't want to get annoyed trying to drive in the rain and parking lots with welded. my usual daily threw a rod. saving for another motor for my impreza too).

Disclaimer: I am by no way a "pro" at drifting. just a guy who has a passion for it and no funds lol. I try and throw down and spread some info I have learned but take it with a grain of salt until someone else backs up my ideas/advice. I consider myself a novice skill wise since I've only done 1 track day and it was a 1/4 mile oval with super camber corners. and my car was FULL stock at that time. no coils, no exhaust. yup, I'm just a guy

 

nice i hear ya. im nowhere near a pro lol i say what i hear. i got a little flak from some other guys cause im not the greatest speller and i know theirs no valves in a rotary but i was told by a friend that theirs somthing in their thats kindof like a valve and it gets stuck open from carbon when left siting for a while. they asked if they still teach school in canada or if we just sit around and smoke pot. the funny part is i dont even smoke lol. ive got thick skin ive been to jail i can take a lot of flack lol

 

i just checked out the powered by max web sit and damn i like those. if they perform as good as they look then ill be happy. i just wonder how low can i go with them?? but the price ill be geting them.

 

PBMs go low. Without removing collars or cranking the preload up my frame is about 2" off the ground. And they feel amazing going sideways.

 

sweet thats low. im planing on lowering it as low as i can go without a body kit then i want to fab a one off kit that is more focused on geting air to my rad. whats the web sit for those shocks??????

 

lol ok i feel like an idiot lol i didnt think about that being Powered by max lol duuuh. i realy like them tho.

 

poweredbymax.net. is the site. you will be re-directed though and then just click accept on the page with all that jap writing. I have the old style orange and yellow shocks which are notoriously stiff dampered. I can attest to this as it is twice as stiff as my friends sileighty on meagan tracks and he runs 12kg/10kg and mine are 10kg/8kg. both of us are on full soft for daily. the new ones ride even better without sacrificing performance. I'm assuming that they have improved upon their valving and they now run linear spring rates as opposed to the progressive rates on mine. good **** though, I love em.

as for bumpers, I always wanted the car service hiro front bumper. they have a modified version on the tec-arts FC that has a bad *** custom lower lip/section. I'd do away with the FD style signals though and just use FC signals.


and tec-arts


I was also thinking of getting a gp sports replica bumper and modifying the middle opening to be bigger like the car service hiro bumper.

 

sweet the new ones are coopery gold looking they look sick lol. i like that bumper . the carnels look sick on it. id easly run somthing like that lol.

 

The new style PBM's ride pretty good. Still noticeably stiffer than 6/8k's, but not ridiculous or uncomfortable. I have the comps, I hear the pros ride even better.

 

ya, car service hiro is uber functional having that huge middle opening but its not drift friendly. thing is expensive and hard to find. rhdjapan can get it I think. I might just try and fashion something similar. its not an easy process to make a mold or plug though. not looking forward to it but my motto: do work, save $$$. ya, comicartist has the current version comps and I think he said that he rode on the old versions as well. the new ones are an improvement so you can't go wrong there. correct me if I'm wrong comicartist.

 

ya that would be sweet to have one. my friend is into making stuff like that. i should show him it and see if he can do it. he wants to make me a one off kit for me for free.

 

hey i want to get super angle setup for my fc.were can i buy knuckles from?

 

^^ There are a few places that sell them, but your best bet will be to get them from Hotline
Hot Line Performance - New Site Coming Soon

 

hey guys i want to put a hydro ebreak into my car but i dont want to buy a new one when i know one can be built out of used parts. can anyone that has done it or knows how to do it draw me a picture of how to do it????? i have a good idea but would like a little more knowhow on it before jumping and cuting lines and sutch. i still would like to keep my stock e-break tho.
thanks guys

 

What are you guys running for motor mounts? Stock/Stiffer/Solid...?

 

I use delrin for motor and trans. Vibrates quite a bit, but I don't mind.

 

Solid alum for motor, trans, and diff and delrin on all my suspension and subframe.

 

polyurethane

 

That purple FC looks like it wants to be an FD
