xavian Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Re: 2006 Season Vehicles and ModsI think i'll still be drivin my Elantra but I hope to be getting new wheels and tires more than likely 16's rather than the 15's that are stock and i am still taking about upgrading the frnt anti-swaybar and even get a voltage stablizer :grin: but I would still like to drive the gtr but berzerkled will not let me :-/ lol I'll ask even tho there is not a change in hell that it'll ever happen. But I guess I'd have to settle for riding on the wrong side of the car lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xavian Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Re: 2006 Season Vehicles and Modsyeah I have done that back but my car still rolls a lot I know I should also get new suspension that'll prevent the body roll a bit more especially if i stiffent it up a bit more, too but I would reather spend that extra $2000 on a car that I could use jsut for autox or new set of rims and rubber.

Payback is virtually non-existant on most any car.True, but why spend a bunch of money and time making a Chevette handle like a Corvette when you could have the Corvette for similar money AND have a car that is worth something when you want to sell it? I had a Z-24 that was fast and handled great, but when it came time to sell, it was still just a Cavalier. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but if that's what floats your boat-go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: 2006 Season Vehicles and Modshmmm.. would a set of Eibach springs help? Â They aren't overly expensive. Â if you see yourself driving your car for a number of years' date=' why not? [/quote']The springs Eibach sells over the counter (Pro Kit, I think the other is called sportline?) Really aren't any good for any motorsports. The most it will do is lower the car to give you a more desirable camber angle. If you go with eibach springs, get really good shocks and some beefy sway bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frs_jeremy Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: 2006 Season Vehicles and ModsI think you are on the right track with a bigger front sway bar. Stiffening the heavy end of the car will reduce body roll a lot more than stiffening the light end. It will also make your car easier to handle in quick transitions.

wyowrx Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: 2006 Season Vehicles and ModsGot a new engine for the old MR2. Â A few more horses should help... Â Also planning on running R's this year with either the stock 14's or some 13x7/8's. Â (Corey, thoughts?) Â I also bought some camber plates to install sometime soon. Here's a pic of the new engine (ae92 MAP 4AGZE) Â :grin: Â BTW, the pic is of the engine during install. It is much cleaner now and is running fairly strong!
