WESTSAAAIIEEEDE!!

softer suspension is also helpful in the wet or snow... that said does anyone know of some reasonable quality ground control style coilovers, ie the threaded collar ones that slip over the strut? was thinking of getting some of those for the height adjustability. not only that race springs 2.5"...

wish they would put a dyno sheet on the site. oh wait, that would prove that the thing is the answer to a question nobody asked.

pretty much all aluminum block engines have steel cylinder bores. an aluminum bore wouldnt last too long or be very strong.

I'd build a badass prerunner type truck, maybe a 1st gen 4runner. destroked 400 sbc maybe with a turbo, 2 feet of a-arm travel with coilovers, 35" tires, full cage, nice stereo.
from the factory Id take a nissan stagea, basically a skyline wagon.

too true, ej22t talk all over nasioc.com and others. aarons auto in seattle where I called said they are bidding on a rear ended 5mt SS(!) but when I asked where they were bidding on it they just laughed. :lol: :roll: That is pretty much my dream parts car... get the seats, rear diff if it was ok, t...

for the bends you can get elbows of many different sizes, angles, and materials. look at a farm supply store, they have tons of cool stuff.

I just called aaron's auto and they quoted me 995 for an unknown mileage ej22t and 795 for a manual trans!!
that seems really high. to those who bought their engine, what did you pay? Im trying to start sourcing parts for a ej22t/5mt swap.

New wallpaper!!!! cool car, cooler photos.

I need to get a bike rack for my legacy wagon. Im sick of throwing my bike in and out of the tailgate, it gets the carpet dirty and scratches up the plastic back there. Im debating wether to get a roof rack type or a tailgate mount type. maybe evven a trailer hitch mount type! I would rather go for ...

yeh, tipsy. I would never push the limits in that thing unless it was slammed and had zero offset wheels.
however, anyone whos ever driven a vanagon knows that they are seriously lacking power. that ones AT no less! anything to get them moving better is good in my book.

penetrating oil and heat almost always work for me. might be siezed though.

I payed 260 for mine in PERFECT shape and 5k on the re-92's. a lot of WRX owners dont really care, easy to talk em down plus the wheels look better on a legacy than a wrx.

ok this kinda proves the product is BS. sidesteps a valid tech question with a nonsense answer. :roll: >===== Original Message From Jenny c <built4race@yahoo.com> ===== >they attach on the top of the struts, you might need >aftermarket struts if yours now are too big. > >--- jbmx@simla.colostate.edu...

it appears that the threaded collar part attaches to the strut with a single set screw. unless I am wrong, I am surprised they would even hold a car up much less over bumps with 300+ spring rates. definitely not getting em.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2463110329&category=33582 they obviously arent very good quality, but I spoke with the seller and the spring rates are 350# front, 300# rear. seems like these could be an ok setup unless the collars are total garbage, anyone seen ...

Ill definitely be checking this place out!!! is it a pick and pull type or???
thanks for the heads up.

my car was broken into the other night at my dads house in seattle. :evil: the idiots tried to steal my second rate cd player, but only succeeded in ruining the trim around the radio and destroying the cd unit itself!!!! Whats kinda scary is that the car was in a gated driveway, keep telling my dad ...

I was also contemplating turboing my n/a ej22. would it be possible to swap the stock ej22t turbo setup onto a n/a, ie manifolds, turbo, ecu, plumb oil lines, etc? my engine is still strong (140k) and cant justify a complete engine swap(at this time). a few Q's -how will the turbo ecu deal with the ...

worst hands down would be f 250 at my work. its the company trash truck for small remodel business, so it has led a pretty hard life. no radio, 351 smokes like a chimney, zf 5spd has not much synchros left so tranny grinds really bad and sometimes jumps out of gear. alignment is off and pulls really...

youre right. guess I wrote that kind of late at night. I havent really been following what technology the newer cars have, and was just saying what I knew about the older systems.

yeh, if they are used for rally they damn well better be strong. but seriously... has anyone ever broken a control arm on their street car other than in an accident? aluminum control arms seems like a waste of $ to me, kind of like a $1000 titanium exhaust to save 3 lbs. theres other places your $ w...

thats pretty cool, Im not really familiar with any of their newer systems.

yeah... I already said mk4's suck. for a new, upmarket car, the jettas have all kinds of electrical problems, and a few other issues but a new beetle? those things are stuuupid. the thing the mk 4 does have going for it though is the 1.8t engine. 20 valves, forged bottom end, pretty cheap to get big...

VW has had awd programs in the past. Called synchro, it was on everything from vanagons to the mighty rallye golf. it was pretty much your standard viscous coupling. came on regular mk 2 golfs, rallye golfs(supercharged 1.8 8v, aka g60), g60 passats, quantums(pretty much an audi), and vanagons.
