Idk, i think drifting is comparably more inexpensive than road racing, autocross would probably be the most inexpensive. As said, events are cheaper (and more frequent/ more locations available) than road racing. If you're not incredibly serious as daigle stated, cheap used tires to burn are really...

Did someone just call drifting cheap? :lol: IMO drifting is the most expensive form of motorsports out there. I have no idea why people think its cheap. Nothing is more harsh on a motor, more abusive to tires and suspension and no form of racing is as prone to writing off a shell... drifting is fun,...

Was it a precision turbo?

Its running rich as heck. You wont be able to drive around with 450s and a stock maf without any tuning what so ever. Just wont happen. You're probably idling with 5:1 AF's and washing out your cylinders. Dont run the car until you get atleast an S-AFC and wideband.

This is why I dont drift. Tires are expensive. Spend some time on some "gripper" sites like S2Ki, they spend $200/tire and concider this a cheap tire. You gotta pay to play. Just being on KA-T should reflect your ability to spend 3-4K on a motor setup, if you cant see the value in spending...

It had always been my practice to use a -3 line with no restrictor, and I never had a problem before. But having cooked 2 precision T3T4's, I had to look into the issue a bit more. Although it could have been an oiling problem, other turbo's were fine so i probably would just avoid precision in the ...

Holy thread bump. I think dinosaurs were roaming the earth when this was posted.

Get some shag carpet. Pick up one of those fluffy bath matts and cut it to fit

I was denied warantee on my precision turbo because I used a restrictor. According to the Precision techs, you should use a -4 line with NO restrictor with all bushing turbo's. The turbo needs oil flow to keep the center cool. If you add a restrictor to solve a smoking problem, you arent re-seating ...

Dropping the perches shouldnt effect stiffness. Spring rate determines how hard the ride is going to be, if you're preloading the springs enough to increase ride stiffness you are going to damage your shocks, you shouldnt put that much negative force on them. Automotive shocks do not have negative t...

If its a bushing turbo, none.

If you want a plenum, I could cut and form something like what I did on page 3 here.

PM me if you're interested.

With an intake setup like that, do you just tune out the IAC, how is cold starting and drivability?

If you answer Tiny's question, I'll answer yours.

I ran 25psi for about 2 months, then put it down to about 20lbs. I sold this car a few months ago though. I was running 9:1 DOHC wisecos which are roughly 7.8:1 in a SOHC motor. Colt Cams tri flow 2 cam. I was running a JDM sport GT35 then a Garrett T3 Super 60-1. I didnt get a chance to dyno it at ...

You have to move/remove power steering to run the Gato's too. You cant beat custom.

Just wrap the threads in black duct tape. For how often you actually adjust them, you can just peal the tape off and put new tape.

You could replace most of the bolts on the motor if you just ordered M6X1 and M8X1.25 bolts in a 20mm length. As for the bigger ones, you'd have to pull them off 1 by 1 and match them. I personally wouldnt bother with the bigger ones though.

Godspeed is a pretty decent company, they just redistribute the cheap parts. Most of the time the mark up on these is so high they can afford to junk every 3rd sale.

Bingo.

I can pull the sub frames, strip them and powder coat them and all that really costs is time and a bit of material. Ordering coilovers, wheels or forged internals will have to wait though

It isnt the power level, its the driver. 300whp starts to feel weak as heck after a couple weeks of motoring around every day. You put it in 3rd or 4th and wish you had another 200whp... I would love to daily drive a car that makes 1000whp. Ripping around in a 600whp KA isnt much different from some...

I cut up the doors on my S13, removed a bunch of metal and removed the rebar, you can take the weight on the steel doors down quite a bit. I also considered replacing the glass with lexan and just matching the profile with a router, but it would dangerous in a crash...you wouldnt get able to break i...

I'll probably spend a couple hours in the car with a drill and a 1.5" hole saw. I also want to pull the subframes, sand blast them, remove material where ever possible and powder them etc. I basically want to break down ever component and reduce weight from there. Switching to a SOHC will save ...

I dont want to get anyone too excited as I intend to take my time on this project. But I picked up a 95' 240 last night, high mileage, automatic and in pretty rough shape, however the body is straight and the price was right plus its 5 bolt and begging to be fixed up. I plan to strip it right down, ...

For what they're charging, its total BS. For this quality level, id expect these to sell for less than $200.

You could easily go over the manifold with a welder and buzz up all the little problems, but for $300 you shouldnt have to.

I dunno, I stopped calling people cock suckers when I was 10... do the math

Eazye: Keep me updated man, if they clear the megans they should clear my stances. Jordan: Those Cobra wheels don't look bad. If your coils dont have camber adjustment on the top bolt of the spindle connection, you can elongate the hole to gain adjustment. I've done this before and I had to do this...

jordan, I wish you had pics with these rims in the light. the garage hides them. They didnt look bad, however the 10.5's in the rear were HEAVY. 55lbs with tires I believe. When I switched to the machined faced 03' cobra wheels they dropped down just over 10lbs each! I personally got tired of them ...

99% of the time i agree with what you have to say. this is that one percent i dont. i understand time restraints and stuff, but i'm pretty sure i could fit a small child between the body pillars and cage pillars. then do it, and show us all how great you are.. if your so great you can tear down a g...

Not buying this manifold to "help" the economy would be the equivilent to spitting in a volcano to try and cool it off. The economy is in the dump because people dont want to work for the product they have. The government is printing money to buy product we will never actually exchange for...
