Ive been a guitarist for almost 20yrs played powerviolence, grind, death metal and anything extreme in my early years. I currenly play bass in a indie noise/shoegaze band. Also been getting i...

Re: Need a price reference

I agree with aukword... If it's a sanctioned car the negotiations with price will be a little more.. Although to me swapping to a 13b brings down the value of the vehicle. I don't like rotary engines, and the whole reason I didn't buy an FC over a piston 4AGe is because of this! Just my two cents y...

Re: Need a price reference

Yea your post is vague prices vary if its a coupe or hatch, sr5 or gts, carb or FI 13b, what gen engine is it? Is it ported? If its sr5 coupe, carbd with a stock s5 or s4 13b would get much less than a gts hatch with a renesis FI engine lol

Re: rear end bearings

Just go with good bearings, especially if you are going to put a welded diff, which interprets to you wanting to slide your 86 and a cheap bearing will just be a waste of time and $...i wouldnt even put $10 bearings on a skateboard lol

Re: Bump steer after aw11 manual rack conversion

If your 86 is lowered more than 1.5inches from stock you will need front RCAs to alleviate the bump steer, if you have RCAs and your bump steer is still persistent then your car is too lowered. You have 3 option, go back to powered steering, raise your car up, or just live with it. I honestly think ...

Thankfully I did my GTSR5 swap many years ago when it was cheap to get a GTS coupe and swap it all over to a hatch. Let's face it though, the cost for parts and just these cars in general will just continue to rise. Imagine what an unmolested stock GTS will be worth in another 30 years lol. i highl...
