dude i feel you on the house thing. i pay the bills but its my kids house really. me and the wife just live there.. this thing needs more low and more power like on the quick. get at enjukuracing and peep there genesis section of performance goodies. and hopefully i put some red paint on the white whale this summer !!!!
I would like to go lower but the the suspension angle get all out of whack on this car if I do. I want the best performance I can get out of the suspension so I have to sacrifice on looks. I could go to 20s instead of 18s but I don't have the hp for that.
Now that I'm done with suspension stuff I'm going to start on getting more hp. I'm stuck between building my motor or just swapping it out. Reliability and a linear power band would be ideal and I don't think I can get that from a built 2.0t.
I think you are right Dan. It would probably cost me more to build what I have proper like than a swap. I know I will catch some hate for going ls but it would be ideal for performance and budget. Motoiq just got an erod ls3 RX7 to pass CA smog legit style. I would love to keep my car street legal. Enjuku has a kit with drive shaft, harness and all.
Drifting with the new max steering angle kit was so much fun. I only spun out 1 time all day. For me that is a huge improvement especially on htm. Definitely a must for all drifters. Now I got to get more power so I can do a beret job linking all the turns.
sick. i would look into a 5.3 ltr chevy truck motor. yeah its not aluminum block but its the strongest motor they have ever made. no joke just did a swap in a jeep for a guy and he boosted the stock motor to 700 with just arp shit and thing is stupid. think the motor cost him 500 bucks or some shit... oh and cast to aluminum there is only a 60lbs difference, so think about that and if you need wiring help to smog it and shit talk to jeff jordan over at jodan inovations. dude is the only person i trust out there any more other than martin and dan... your shit is progreessing nicely though and im glad your enjoying the car.
as for the ride height sometimes you have to sacrafice a touch of perfomance to make your shit look solid, just as important as performance in my book
