What do you think lance?

I think it's an amazing machine.




Bro, i hate you and love you and am super jealous all at the same time.

That's what i'm going with next year if all goes well.

Stock twins?

Cut firewall? I dont know why but it looks like it's sitting back further than usual in alot of the fc's i've seen.

Manlaw demands moar!

That's DOPE. ******* DOPE.

I dont really understand what youre saying haha

Yah stock twins with boost up, firewall and everything is all untouched, just custom mounts to the stock crossmember!


Its about 4 cylinders behind the struts, 2 in front. Drives pretty much the same. Just way different power!

depends on what whel tire sizes.. if its 215 in the front, I like it 0 camber, if its 235/45,17 front I like it like 1 degree negative camber... it feels like less camber =more grip in the front to me...

well I found one of my favorite setups for my power level is just a simple 0 camber 215 front on a 9.5 rim and 235 or 245 rear.. You can be on the gas and never lift.. sometimes even 215 front and 255 rear... i get alot of tire smoke on the 255s cause im just on the gas and never letting off.. if I need more steering I just either add more negative rear camber, or bump the rear psi, or if the tires are directional ,reverse them backwards, or put a bigger front tire like a 235/40/17 front and 255/40/18 rear... I only have about 200 hp im guessing? only 5.5psi of boost on stock turbo and ecu... its still easy to spin..

Yeah if you run 0 camber you'll have a bunch of positive at full lock. I run like -3.25 in front.

yea i dont think you know how suspension works, dk.

you get contact an lock with neg camber, which helps control at the risk of loosing turn-in
