cheers man.. any time!

[Simon-S14]

had drift prac last night...borrowed one of pauls coilovers, cheers mate!, so was running different coils left and right lol, car felt amazing with the new diff/ratio + 17 inch tyres... had heaps of grip and speed. was brilliant to drive! had a few close tandems and near misses. however dec's in the Garage 7 missle was chasing me on one lap and rubbed thro brake lines and tagged me in the rear 1/4... keep going cause it didnt seem so bad. then in another session i was chasing him down and then he looped suddenly on turn 2 and i had no where to go and we collided.. in the same panel! only a tad worse now lol

not a fan of the flairs on the front. are you able to get wider fiberglass s14-180 front guards?

and are you going to go back to 18s on the back or cant you get that style of rims in size for realistic $$$$

[Simon-S14]

these are the ONLY guards you can get.. and they are suppose to be 20mm wider but i think they are stock. had no choice but to run the flares and gut the guards away to give me the clearance i needed. im not entirly sold on them myself but i think once painted they should be sweet.

i still have my VS-XX's in 18's and i will be rotating between two pairs of 17's and one pair of 18's. the 17's actually gave me MORE grip so its defo not a step backwards... plus tyres are cheaper

simon what do you do as a job to afford all this? looks like loads of fun but so much dollars

[Simon-S14]

forklift mechanic... i dont make much.

i do a lot of work after hours on peoples cars which helps. im a mechanic by trade, along with auto elec.

all work is done my byself or with the help of good mates which makes all the difference.

I have been looking at them thinking I WANT ONE, but then i just gotta get mine running.... Are they a direct swap? I imagine all the lines etc remain the same?

[Simon-S14]

yeah direct swap mate. the CHRA is the same, the wheels and front housing is different thats all.

[34GeeTeeTee]

yeah direct swap mate. the CHRA is the same, the wheels and front housing is different thats all.

If you run the same rear size can you do a back to back comparison?????

There are plenty of comparisons on US cars etc.... But none for our sort of beasts....

I'd be really keen to see the improvements in spool, power, torque etc...

[Simon-S14]

that is the exact plan

[aleks]

Did you get a chance to comp test your engine again?

[Simon-S14]

nope... runs fine so why bother lol

[Simon-S14]

BTW i now have a blog for those interested

Man great work !

So is your RB un-opened? with that massive power? how does your 3rd gear pull when drifting or kicking the clutch?

sometimes when i kick it out in 3rd gear it dies down unless im not giving it hard enough? cheers man.
