I dont really have 'the time to work on cars' Justen..... To give you some idea, I have had LESS than 10hrs sleep, ALL WEEK! Thats no bullshit. I am constantly living on the ragged edge I am hardly working at my own pace....

Some flashy looking bits there JoJo. What brand are the coilovers mate they look like bc's but I can't see the brand name properly.

the only writing I can see says ISC, so I'm gonna guess they are ISC brand

ISC's.........

Spoken to quite a few people using them in a variety of cars, and havent heard a bad thing about them.....

But, They look (build quality) no where near as good as my GReddy's in the gold car.....

They have to be better than how it was tho !!!!!!!!!!!

[lenjiman]

Same coilovers as in my car.... they do the job, but the greddy's would be much nicer.

Will you have the rear end sorted out before the next Hillclimb?

If I changed the clutch and fitted coilovers in 1 day, what do you think?

[1JZ-Rolla]

Lucky there's some time for sleep before the next hillclimb......

meanwhile, watch out for pink elephants crossing the road as you drive on the "ragged edge"

Good to see you're getting the issues sorted at record pace mate. A few good clutch kicks and that clutch will be run-in hey

Youth and enthusiasm then, there was a time when I'd do the same. The GT8 was finished at 1am the thursday before Dubbo. 2 hr sleep and then we stuck it on a trailer to arrive at the show and shine fri morning farked if I could be farked doing shit like that these days

[anastasios]

have you used 8/6 springs at canberra hillclimb before? i thought it was way stiff, maybe it was my noob driving and shit rear tyres then

[JoJo]

Anastasios, I had 8/6 in my gold AE86 (recently crashed). It was fine. I could have done better maybe with softer springs, but I still managed a 48:81 with springs that stiff....


You just need practice.


Plus, this red car it a dedicated drift car, it it will be setup for drift anyway

[airocobra]

As Jo Jo said 8/6 is not ideal , but is predictable. My recent experience having changed to much softer springs is that it is only very marginaly better grip . But makes the car a little lest predictable when it will let go . A fare bit more body roll and if anything a bit harder to drive on the limit for any length of time. More time on the track and better tyres are a higher priority at this stage.
