Re: Question COILOVER exp! Help!

^Do you have a link by chance? I'm genuinely curious. Their site must be out of date because they still list the 8/6k rates and non inverted rear. (However, I did see a pic of the inverted rear coilovers in boosted86's build thread.) I also did a google search but can't find anything but the old set...

Re: Rear main seal leak? Mysterious loss of oil.

What about pcv line on the side? Although unlikely, it's possible the oil is all dumping out the pvc into the intake on right turns. Run the pcv line to an empty bottle or can to observe what comes out, and plug the return port on the manifold, or don't. I had a similar problem when I was in Greenvi...

Re: Rear main seal leak? Mysterious loss of oil.

If the roads are really windy where you live try venting the crankcase breathers to atmosphere as a simple test. You will also have to plug the open ports left behind on the manifold/airbox. See if there's any change.

I'm pretty sure greddy type s is long dicontinued. Pbm is interesting, but their focus seems to be drift cars. Plus the kit isn't cheap and doesn't come with spindles. Further, it doesn't seem that there is a way to cup weld a spindle on as it should be because the strut housing is too wide at the b...

Re: Bump steer after aw11 manual rack conversion

Assuming the r&p are interchangeable... the quaife aw11 r&p (or stock aw11) in an ae86 housing might be ideal.

I wonder how the ae71 stuff compares.

Re: Ford 8.8 rear end

The first gen rx7 gsl axle is 7.1 (I think) with disc and lsd. Finding one might be harder than a gts axle though. I'm sure the 8.8 would work, but just keep in mind the extra rotational and unsprung weight. Fwiw even a mk1 supra axle is too big for any n/a 4age, imo. Do you need something to get yo...

It's called a brake proportioning (aka prop) valve. Sr5 and gts are different.

Re: Ford 8.8 rear end

You'll have to transfer all the suspension pick up points (brackets) from the gts axle. I imagine it's longer than the ae86 axle so the wheels will stick out farther. It will be very heavy for 100 hp/tq, and will also probably affect the suspension/handling because of the extra weight; I assume stif...

Great points. The aftermarket units are not only brand new, but stronger, and should have better support if a part breaks and needs to be replaced since oem stuff is probably dicontinued.
