So this suspension is gonna be pretty rough on the street if you accidently hit a pot hole?

Let me know how it rides in comparison to the eibachs. It could be blown struts but when i hit a bump, it feels like I'm hitting a rock... hard. And i ordered 650f 350r

Cleaned up engine bay a little (pictures to come soon), but have a question. I noticed a random wire attached to the bolt on the retainer for the hood prop with a fuse attached that goes nowhere. What was it?

Looks like the power cable for a speaker wire and or a fuel pump rewire, but instead of attached to power, it was attached to ground. You obviously dont need a fuze in a ground line, you domt need this cut wire either.

It could have gone to the oil dummy light though. Since there is a spade connector.

I can say it rides way better than the eibachs/gr2s. You probably have bad shocks. I have 750/350 and I can say the ride is actually feels more Comfortable with how it's setup. Definitely Very little give in the turns. Solid feel. You will be fine with 650s.
Just check your shock dampening. My shocks Were turned all the way up.
 
Yeah i wanted something inbetween what people dd with and drag race with cause indo both, jay said it was about 650 350 too bad i only ordered for the front, still waiting on top hats for the rear from RTM. Brian has some parts jay needs so I'm waiting on that too.

This setup isn't really ideal for drag racing. More road course. Drag racing woukd require more spring for the rear.
If you only ordered front, what are you going to do about the rear?

Why you guys gotta be dicks! :cry: hurts my feelings being mean like that.. :nono:

haha Jokes, I get those!! :cool:

2g rear diffs are WAY easier to remove than 1Gs!! Was a pain in the dick to pull the diff out of my 1g when it was making some horrid noise.. My spyders on the other hand. walk in the park. Due to the mounts being on the back and sides, not the top!!

I joke I joke, tried making myself feel better about my diff LOL

The red wire is grounded right below your hand there too, either someone was trying to beef up the grounds or there was loose sub wires they just bolted where ever.

Finally got my VRSF FMIC kit installed yesterday. I painted and baked the intercooler and pipes in flat black high temp paint, gotta love that black on black look. No HP or anything was effect by painting and baking. Came out great, some issues with install but it went together good and the GSX is running strong thanks to Allen and his team at Strictly Import Motorsports (SIM) in Kalamazoo, MI.

Run my shitty kyb agx and eibach pro in the rear til the rear top hats are finished. Maybe i should go a higher rear then?
 
I'm getting good at timing jobs.I can do the whole thing in less than 20 minutes.Besides the no start,im getting pretty good.

Got the battery charger on the car now, so in an hour ill see if it starts.

And thats a no start..
 
Anything over 400lbs in the rear you'll need custom shock valving, this is why I stuck with a 350lb spring. My car is going to be mainly a drag car but custom shock valving that can handle a higher spring rate is going to be expensive.

Neat!
LEDs or?

Yup. I was inspired by azdave's work on his previous 2G from years ago, and I wanted to try it on a 1Ga.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.


Specs:
Atmel ATMEGA328P (Arduino Uno knockoff) controlled via custom signal converter board (9v/5v regulators and optocouplers)
NXP PCA9685 PWM controller (16ch 12bit i2c)
275 Philips SuperFlux LEDs (HPWT-DH00-G4000) per side
7 individually controllable segments per side, each with a custom Sharp PQ09RD21 based driver
RGB 16x2 i2c LCD + 5 key pad for remote control

I've added a span of 14 LEDs on the console trim to duplicate what the drivers are putting out so that I can monitor for bugs in the code, blown fuses, and self amusement.

driving functions:
Separate running/brake brightnesses, sequential turn signals with persistence and segment fade up/out (ie. a bar graph), single segment sequential hazards

fun functions:
kightrider scan w/ fading trails
sine wave
pulse
alternate side strobing
stacking/wiping segments

I'll have to take an all-inclusive video of the setup and functionality during the next couple days.

Would you be willing to do more 1g tails?

350 it is, not planning on shock valving.

On the other hand I'm plastidipping bac seat pannels
