    Tokyo Drift

    I'm gonna have to call you on this one. Maybe it has better street manners but I raced against a stock late 90's Civic a few weeks ago. I passed him like he was standing still lap after lap after lap. My only handling mod is subframe connectors. It wasn't just my straight line speed that was...

    positive camber under cornering?

    Positive Castor creates negative camber when the suspension goes into bump, so more positive castor is good. If you corner a Mustang hard (in stock trim), you will get wear on the outside edges of your tires. There are multpile reasons for this. This main one is that the macpherson type...

    Need help with tire sidewall aspect ratio

    I've been running a set of KDWs for nearly 3 years now (six months out of each year, plus autocross). They are an awesome tire for the money. Yes, the GS-D3's are one of the best tires out there, but they also cost a hell of a lot more. My KDWs allowed me, a fairly inexperienced autocrosser, to...

    Regarding negative camber w/ C-springs

    Camber is always measured in degrees (hopefully negative). As for the amount of change, I don't think its possible to say how much change a specific spring will cause on a specific vehicle without actually doing it and measuring it. Since C-Springs are only about 3/4" lower than stock, the...

    Which Subframe Connectors?

    I have the Kenny Brown Extreme Matix Brace kit. Unfortunately, they're out of business now so I'm a +1 for the MM kit. A friend of mine I race with did his subs first (Steeda full-length), then a strut tower brace. He said he didn't notice the slightest difference after adding the STB. As...

    Bodykit question?

    From the front, that looks really good. Can't say I'm a big fan of the 2000R Wing on a street car, nor do I like that rear bumper and the center exit exhaust. The front end, hood, side skirts and wheels do look very good though.

    I Am So Sick Of This "Tokyo Drift" BS

    This movie is going to be like chlorine for the automotive gene pool. The number of riced out Civics etc. that are going to be written off after their owners watch this movie and think they know how to drive/drift will be fantastic! I can't wait!

    traction control

    Well, the manual specifically says to turn it off in snow so if you're leaving it on in the snow... well... it's not the TCS's fault. I left it on last time I was at the track (road course) and I saw the light come on a couple of times but didn't actually feel it intervening. Whether I needed...

    Putting the car on a diet

    Aluminum, Aluminum, Aluminum... Hood, Block, heads, Flywheel, Driveshaft... As you mentioned, full tubular front suspension and as others have mentioned: Lose the backseat, go to coil overs, lighter battery in the trunk. All the ideas mentioned in this thread are really good. It just...

    T45 rebuild questions

    OK, fourth gear isn't quiet but... It doesn't have the high pitched whine like the other gears does. At lower RPM there's a lower freqency rattling kind of noise. Also, if this help, there is niose when the clutch is out with the transmission out of gear. Again, kind of a rattling noise.

    T45 rebuild questions

    I'll listen closer but as a matter of fact I do believe that 4th is quieter than the rest. My mechanic said the bearings all looked perfect though. I'll have to give it listen on the way in to work today and see how it sounds.

    T45 rebuild questions

    To make a long story short, I have a T45 made out of 2 T45s. I've used the input shaft from one and the main shaft from another. My (first) problem is tons of gear whine. Is there any way to get rid of this? Heavier oil perhaps? My second problem is that it runs hot. After a few laps at the...

    T45 to T56 conversion in 2000 GT

    I see their kits but I'm going to be picking up the trans off of Ebay, a seller has them on for $1450 CDN, so I'll just need the conversion parts. Thanks for the links.

    T45 to T56 conversion in 2000 GT

    My T45 is dying quickly. For a long time, its been grinding the 5 - 4 downshift when the transmission is hot. This morning, by the time I got to work I couldn't get it into 4th at all. By the time I got home from work, I had lost 2nd and 4th entirely. Rather than blow a ton of money on a...
