was sweet getting to meet you man! car looked awesome and were doing a good job out their on the track. and yeah it sucks the coilovers got their late, but now your car is pretty well set up!!!
i cant wait to get mine out their drifting too. imagine tandem sedan with coupe both silver with orange wheels with good soud RB's lol.
Thanx guys, yea for sure Marc I wanna come back this year if I can afford it. I have about 6000$ more planned into this chassis before im done for the most part but hell ill do what I can. Get your car together already.
Thankx M13 your build has always inspired me, hope all is well.
Thanx man, yea might have missed it, she put down 341hp 280 torque at 13.5 psi. Im taking it for a retune in the spring and going to push for 400 to the wheels. Compression is still good and pressures havnt let me down.
I know shes only a little 20 but I do love these engines.
- At the end of each season I make sure I go over the following:
- fresh oil change/ coolant flush
- suspension inspection of tierods/ boots/rack and rods, arms
- last but not least the DREADED compression/ leakdown test
This end of years findings with compression are:
125,125,120,123,123 warm
110,110,100,104,105 cold
At first I did cold as I forgot to warm up engine, and also was worried so figured I would do warmed up block aswell.
Just goes to show you should always warm up your car.
Compression wise it has dropped 10psi since I have owned it, not bad considering the beating it takes at the track.
I think it will be one more year for the little 20 before I move on to bigger and better things.
Suspension wise-
Front Ams collor bolt is stripped ( vuk at Ams sent me a new one free of charge)
Rear subframe bushings warnout/ bings solid replacments going in.
All in all had a good summer but need more events to go to. Most drift events within 8 hours driving require cages/ battery shut off/ and a full forumla d style jungle gym.
Thanx esh, well most events are about 5 hours away, but yea local has nothing to offer. My local car/club drift guys are tryn to put together small events at our airport so hopefully it goes threw.
Yea im really happy with gtr fenders, i probably should pick up some spares/ who knows how long it will look good.
I may or may not have found the engine I would like to install for next season, ill keep you guys posted on where that goes.
Use a different compression gauge and see if the numbers read higher. Mine read 175-180 solid all across. Your number is still decent considering they are consistent throughout.
you should do the PBM solid rear subframe risers. will raise 1 inch! which will always help your rear end geometry, get the axle more level and super easy instal. thats the route im going with. thought id share. i already got my bushing out, just slip new ones in with epoxy and ready to go.
