Progressive Tiens suck balls, had them in the s14 to start with, crashed though all the bumps on the street, then got all rolly on the track, worst of both worlds.

Compared Tiens with Kings? I'd be interested to know your opinions of each if so...

hey nick,

the XXR 527's in 18x9.75+20 that you had what did you need to fit them when you had the tien progressive springs?

i'm thinking im gonna go same same... $800 you cant go wrong lol

also i'm thinking 245/40/18

I ran 17s on the XXRs, 17x9.75 +24 iirc and had 255/40

sup

is it just me or does every evo 8 have a different shade rear bar?

ive looked at so many and i think in all of them, the rear bar is a different tinge/shade compared to the rear quater panels

surely not all of them have had touch up / spray work ?

bumpers are always a different shade as it's plastic compared to metal, and there is something with the paint when it is applying so the shade is always off a little

Hmm... Tiens it is then :P

Srsly tho... Whatever I find cheapest hahaha

I had teins, they were ok. But I would just spend the money and go BC coils, there could be a chance you get knocking front struts like I did. Iirc it was pretty common in 7s

I'd say so, look the best on the ct chassis

true, have seen a few with these. i like the 521's a bit, i think.

or maybe some varrstoens.

or i'm thinking some rpf01 in 9.5 +15 in SBC... delicious.

show and shine is in feb, 15th I think, Como park booked out till then.

for the S14 cracked it and went straight to Coil overs.

Had white line in the BB b4 it and they were bearable, pretty stiff and sagged a bit but was mainly looking for drop so that was fine.

Kings in the ute (well the front) and they seem quite nice to daily drive on. way too soft for track tho.

shout-out to an old member #@M34N ?

anyone know steve personally? had a R34 and a V36. hasnt posted since 2012. Used to work with the guy, havent seen him since like 2009 or something.

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
