Yea thinking about getting some M2 lowering springs

Devens240

this is amazing. props man. love the build

johnksoy

damn man you plan on rollling on 17s with stock suspension?

If I where you I'd sell the rims, get used coilovers and slam it on stock wheels if were on a low budget.

Don't get lowering springs on your stock suspension. IMO waste of money. Chances are your stock shocks already near death with lowering springs on stock shocks gonna kill them even more and ride like shit.

you clearly dont know what Jamaica's roads are like..
theres like 1 good road for the public and it's the "new" highway they made from montego bay to like idk where.

and they had to destroy ppl's homes to make it.

well im just saying NO on the noname lowering springs on stock shocks.

I believe he said it was gonna be a drag/street car. I just cant imagine 17s on stock shocks running 10s.

The Architect

Other than the lowering springs and energy suspension bushings the rest of the Suspension will remain stock no need for coilovers S13's handle pretty well stock when equipped with good rubber.

based on my research i have seen pretty stock suspension S13 on slicks doing 1.4 60ft times so in no rush to change stock suspension and the current shock are fairly new.

surge s14

will it do any sweet jumps?

account inactive cannot see the pic

Oh where do i start to update this thread
so we hit the dyno few weeks bk and had boost problems eventually made 247whp and 193lbs of torque

here is a pic of one of those dyno runs


Car was also running rather lean and this problem was traced to the fact that i had bored the MAF so currently running the original 50mm MAF housing
the reason for the lazy boost and not getting anyting higher than 10psi was a weak wastegate spring the solution was to utalize the dual port of the wastegate something like this was done


so received the LSD diff today its from a JDM S13 also got these babies too in preparation for a Drag meet coming up on the 28th of February




Next step is to hit the dyno again and run 15psi of boost that should break the 300whp then see what she runs on the Drag strip

the Dyno is in kingston Jamaica

So it turns out the JDM diff i received is a skyline which is if i remembered correctly 4.3 of sweetness

today tried taking out the old open diff with no luck one of the front bolts is so rusted it broke so tomorrow have to try removing it.

The Architect

SUCCESS what a difference a lsd makes this car is amazing at 10psi this car feels rather quick i am now excited to see how she runs at 15psi and the slicks

12sec timeslip is the aim

QuickSpoolSR

[quote=The Architect;3155402]Ok so where to start Car is now painted and looking much better






Why didnt you remove the tailights? i would think that would almost be easier then taping them off

The Architect

[QUOTE=QuickSpoolSR;3304495]quicker to not remove then, car was painted outside had to be able to move quickly in case of rain

The Architect

I heard good things about the 4.3. I bought one but got scammed so I never was able to try it.

have not been on here in a minute LOL

so took the car to the local drag strip on the west side of Jamaica had a not so good day but happy to finally get the car driven in anger

did a best of [email protected] however did a couple 14.3 @ 118mph the 60ft were some miserable 2.8

yep became aware the my uncle(owner of car) had used a stock pressure plate with the performance clutch so there is your culprit right there

have ordered a ACT complete heavy duty clutch kit so will be bk on the strip hunting the 11s once the 60ft come down we will be right there

OBEEWON

Car looks very good. Love the pictures. Can we get more shots of the strip and some of the other cars? Never been to that strip.
