    Aftermarket ball joints that change the roll center?

    I'm going to be addressing this with a weld in solution soon.Donk, any chance you can post some pictures of your polk subframe/arms? I'm curious as to how they're different than the scrap I pulled off my chassis.

    N/T tranny better for road racing?

    2gn/t engine is completely different than the turbo, which means the tranny wouldn't bolt up without a custom bellhousing.Unless you're talking about the 2gnt convertible with the 4g64... but I'm not familiar with the 2g world so I'll hold off until someone else speaks up.

    Transmission cooling

    Pitch diameter is a diameter ~halfway in between the OD and ID of the gear. (called circular pitch in this article: Gear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)Basically, your math is close enough that it shouldn't be an issue.Heat kills oil's ability to do it's job. even going over 200*...

    1g road course suspension, *needed* 1g stock strut dimensions

    Jdsoza,Thanks for the comments, I'm really excited to get the 8611s as I think they offer the best balance for the cost.I'm curious what front subframes you've seen, as I've only seen 3 k-members, and a few other "subframe brace" optionsI'm looking at taller ball joints, but a much...

    Aftermarket ball joints that change the roll center?

    Question for you guys... I found these Integral Ball Joint Assembly, Upper Control Arm, 772/6024 - Racing Parts and ProductsWhich offer up to +.750 and what looks like a smaller OD on the sleeve (Beneficial as my willwood brakes seem even tighter to the control arm than stock) I was curious...

    Help me pick wheel and tire size

    Turbo,Sorry I can't really help you, but the first thing you need to realize is that one 275 wide tire is not the same width as another 275 wide tire. I have a great picture somewhere of a stack of 255 wide hoosiers that are about 6 inches taller than a stack of 255 wide Azenis, and I know my...

    1g road course suspension, *needed* 1g stock strut dimensions

    Years later, and I haven't driven the car in 3 years... :ohdamn:*Insert excuses as to why here, I have oh so many*I'm actually just now trying to finish buttoning the car up to get it out to some track days this summer. I ended up swapping chassis, and due to a last minute "I need some sort...

    stripped oil feed on head

    Bringing this thread back from the dead...Has anyone had any luck driving a tapered threaded plug with a magnet on it into the stripped out hole? Something similar to: Metric Pipe PlugsI'm hoping to avoid A) having to remove the head, and B) having to create shavings that will get pushed...

    1G tubular control arms

    That thing looks seriously dangerous.

    Tubular front k-member/sub-frame design

    Question of the day:Has anyone done any solid modeling of either generation car? And by that, I really mean, has anyone done a really really good job measuring where all the suspension points are in relation to each other?I have a 1g track car that I'd really like to put a solid...

    Are OEM wings/spoilers functional?

    Your original question is are the OEM wings functional. The OEM spoiler on a 1g is functional as has been mentioned above. You're kind of asking if you can modify the stock piece to be more effective, and I'd respond with saying that's mostly a waste of time. Keep it there, but leave it alone as...

    Winter Use: Redline Heavy or Lightweight

    The heavyweight is really only necessary for extremely shock loaded transmissions/diffs... The lightweight is really very effective, and won't be as bad in the cold.

    1g problem

    Expensive method would be to take it somewhere for someone to tune... your other options would be:Step 1, turn down the boost, to solve the immediate problem Step 2, take some time to learn exactly how the safc-2 can control air/fuel ratio and do some research as to what air/fuel ratios...
