^ I will have to agree with you there

 

how do u have that much angle?

 

$400 and a call to JTP

**** no they are a bunch of cry babies for the most part on there.

so prolly a newb question but how does the modded knuckle make the car feel as far as steering. i figure it makes the wheels change direction faster with less input at the steering wheel, since you arent adding teeth to the rack. also i hear alot of recommendations about not running the modded knuckle if you are just getting into the sport...any opinions here?

 

The modded knuckles make the car snappier, since steering input is basically amplified, and they are amazing.

BUT they are not something you need if youre just starting out. Its best to improve your car as you learn to use it to its full potential. Knuckles and 350hp wont really make you drive better unless you get how to use them correctly. If you hop into a car you cant handle you tend to actually be a worse driver.

 

thats what i had assumed and yeah i am good but i dont feel like i have reached the limits of the car as it is now, but thanks for the input!

 

Stock angle is sooo fun anyways... it teaches you to gain more speed while drifting because the drift angle is more linear.

angle mods will slow you down if you dont know how to use the extra angle. or when to use it, cause you can throw it into more angle when you need to scrub off speed or come into a clipping point.

everything feels the same for the most part, that is untill you turn the wheel more

 

^some really great input here. Thanks fellas.

 

anyone running 17 x 9.5 +12 in front, metal fenders?

 

9.5 +12 metal fenders? Not possible

not sure if ive posted this yet but pic is pretty old
modded knuckles.. not even close to using all the angle i have since wheels hit metal before lock is reached.

 

hey Justin,
i took ur advice and took off the rear sway and was killing it
at the Vegas Drift event with 3rd gear drifts(loved it),all i need is more angle....
everyone tells me that its not good to take of the sway bar because of
chassis flex and its just harder on the car. And they said I'm not learning right?


so u dont use sways either? can you mod FD spindles?
i think once i get more angle,I will be very competitive

thanks a bunch !!

 

im sure i have seen modified fd knucks. i run without swaybars as well. the stiff spring rates that come on coilovers these days basically makesany force that the stock sway bar can offer useless.

 

steve, how far away is your rim lip from the lower control arm?

By "hitting metal" i'm assuming you're hitting the body of the car and not the lca?

I plan on getting 17x9.5 +15 up front some time next week which is why i ask.

 

im running JTP knuckles and maxdratrix stering/bumpstop kit on Uras tie rods here in the UK...

allows for quite alot of angel... to the point where i cant stop the car from toeing out AAAND I cant stop the car from doing this:



thats with a 17x9j on a 225/45/17 ET -summat crazy (32mm of spacer.. wheel et17)
coilovers set to :



im about to go to a 18x9.5 ET25 due to this years sponsorship.. so i REALLY need to sort this as its caused the car to grind to a halt a few times and of course damages the alloy.

 

lol



i rocked 17x8.5 -10 on stock fenders... slammed to ****. negative camber bro, its sick.

9.5 with +12 is the same at 8.5 -13..... it should fit

 

FlikstRR, I'm hoping to have some lower control arms out pretty soon, those should take care of the rubbing problem... sorry I made too much angle on your car... haha

 

my LCA..


Thats with 18x9.5 -15 215/35/18 in front.. My rims did that too my lca when I full lock going fast

 

lol never have too much.. as long as it doesnt go over center lol cant WAIT for he new LCA's!! i know about 20 people over here begging for them.. drop me an email/pm soon sa u have a set and ill get them over here and on my site & car.. well promoted.

hahaah see i did that and it felt like it just locked up i was soooooooo tempted to cut that section out totally but didnt know about the strength/structure implications

seems to do the job..



but like every greedy skidder.. i want more.. and i want to be able to let it spin to the stops without jamming

 

hey justin, I just got some wheels for the rear, 17x9 +43, and I know I need to get spacers to flush them out. Question is, do I go with 20 mm? Or 25 mm? I will be running 235 on rear, and tucking.

 

like 30mm

 

50mm spacers and pull it.

Dont be a wuss.

 

ALSO, since i'm about 90 percent done with diff/suspension/wheels/tires and exterior **** i'm about to start buying stuff to add power.

I'll need PROPER management since i'm not going with rtek. It wont suit the gt3582 i want to put on.

What do you guys got, why do you like it and how easy was it to set up? Does it support extra injectors? Can it be used to control auxillary injection (water/meth/alk)?

I've seen guys run **** from fcon-v's to microtech lt10 on their cars. I want my engine to be reliable and make respectable power. I know i dont NEED it to drift but i WILL be drifting the car regardless of setup.

 

if its a second gen Ive read that PFC can be modified to run them, not sure how to do it ..but it is possible

 

I read that as well and then decided to dig a little and found banzai racing sells the kits to make it full pnp on s4 and s5 turbo ecu's which is pretty cool.

No matter what i pick and who tunes it i'm still afraid my poor little high compression engine is going to pop on me but i dont want a stock turbo with a clipped wheel.....

 

is mark brant with the green fc on here?
