It hooks up better and makes the car turn better. Both allow me to spin up the inside wheel if I am running too much rear swaybar, though, so if you're expecting spool-like lockup, you're not going to get it. Doesn't that mean your LSD isn't working? You're not supposed to just spin the inside whee...

brands like Godspeed and Speed Daddy are just not that great unless you're on a budget. Wrong. Those brands are crap regardless if you're on a budget or not. Whether you use (literally) poo as a gasket maker because you thing its good, or you're using (literally) poo because its free and comes out ...

I bought these to convert them for AE86 usage. You can either use S13 front arms and sindles or you can weld these onto an AE86 spindle. Or just use them on an S13. They come with s13 camber plates (tein) and rear Cashiew spherical bushing top mount for rears (cashiew) http://pic20.picturetrail.com/...

what city are you in?

Location?

Generally, you need the front half of an automatic W58 supra equipped driveshaft with the rear half for the AE86. Or it could be the other way around. You'll also need to get a custom clutch made with the spline count for the W58 but the diameter of whatever flywheel you're using. You can use the st...

We have the same taste in brakes! I like Hawk Blue a lot, mostly because its a medium bite compound and modulation is really easy. However, if you want more "bite" like it sounds like you're asking for, I'd try Raybestos ST-43. I had those and in my opinion they have "too much" b...

"Megan, BC, Ksport," are not necessarily "reputable" companies. They are all Chinese/Taiwanese as well. Buying a pre-packaged coilover setup is easy, but to get something quality its my opinion that you have a quality welder/fabricator and use any of the shocks I mentioned above....

I love your build man. Just a note though, mounting the temp sensor on a sandwich block that goes under the exhaust manifold made the sensor show the wrong temp readings. The aluminum heats up and heats the sensor. It was always way higher than it actually was.

We can custom build that for you if you want. If you are interested, PM me. They will be more expensive though that the 50/50 as the Poly ends are hand welded and pressed.

If you're nice, you'll sell it to skipshift for 250-300. If you're douchey, you can ask $450-600.

Just so you know, most of the Chinese/Taiwanese companies do not RnD on their coilovers, so more than likely you're getting valving from whatever other coilover their AE86 offering is based off of. Could be an S13, Soarer, Jeep, Its anybody's guess. They're fine for street driving/cruising, going lo...

Hi, where in cali are you in?

Would you part out, namely just sell the side skirts?

I've ran no diff cooler for over 7 years now, with R-compound and an aggressively shimmed TRD LSD. Diff coolers are pretty awesome, but I don't think they're necessary in all but extreme cases.

Are you using a solid pinion spacer?

Re-posting this from the old forum. I hope you all still find it useful: This is perhaps the most popular question on the 16v forum, and most people are totally unaware of the costs related to doing this. Yes I do have ITB's on my 16v. First, let's get two popular questions out of the way: "Can...

Chinese radiators are pretty. The only problem is, you won't know if its crap until a year or two down the line, or after a hard session at the track when it cracks. Its so cheap that you could always replace it with another. Its a gamble, but your call. As with all Chinese parts, you have to rememb...

http://shop.perma-cool.com/1211-Single-Filter-Mount-1-2-NPT-Ports-up-3-4-16-thread-1211.htm You can buy most of what you need from the same website. Or, go to Bakerprecision.com and they'll know exactly everything you need. All the "real" racing parts for oil systems are made here anyways....

Toyota of Japan wouldn't know what to do with those numbers either. Those parts are sourced from all USA distributors/manufacturers except maybe the engine bearings. You'd have to contact a Formula Atlantic engine supplier like Hasselgren or Lyonings. You shouldn't bother them unless you're willing ...

The TRD North America header was never sold in Japan, and is specific for the US market made by Doug Thorley headers.

which "obx" copy did you get? the JSP copy or the TRD copy?

I'm interested in the exhaust manifold. Please PM me.

OH, can you do me a favor and measure the primaries (inlet size)? Do you know who made it?

any chance you wanna sell that exhaust manifold?

Keiichi is sponsored by TRD. TRD also built the car. As for the sticking with the same brand thing...it certainly helps with show points and sticker collections! Seriously though, you should always buy according to 4 things: Price, Dependability, Serviceability, technical needs. Some things to consi...

That's exactly the reason. Alex builds the poly end by hand, including pressing the bushing in and painting it. I've helped him build a batch

"Anti-squat" isn't really what it does. Think of it this way: when your car is stock, every angle of the suspension geometry is calculated with each measurement in mind. When stock, everything works the way its supposed to. When you lower the car, you changed one equation, which in turn ch...

Hi Billy,
didn't see a picture of the pilot bearing spacer which usually comes with this. are you including that as well?

Short answer: If you're Filipino: Carbs If you're everyone else: ITB Long answer: Its cost VS. nostalgia. Carbs are cheaper. Old dudes love carbs. ITB's are more expensive, more costly to tune (if you can't do it yourself) but function a lot better. Technology has allowed the same general principals...

I like how somebody pointed out "fanboy" is subjective. I'm a massive fanboy. I collect all AE86 models, die casts, have tons of DVD's and love initial D. I've also been with the car for 11 years, and drift/track the car once a month. Been doing that for 5-6 years. In my opinion, the only ...
