Price or spring rates?

[vphat]

price? 

[leon r]

I bought EVO8 TEIN coilovers with camber plates for $200-$300 because one rear shock was blown. That didn't matter to me because I wasn't going to use rears anyway.

Then I modified them to work in my Summit. From what I understand, it is even easier to install EVO parts on HG!

Awesome and so much fun to watch all those big cars going down

 

Couple of unrelated questions:

 

Has anyone sent you pics of the inside of an HSG-R? with the Recaro seats?

 

AND

 

Have you heard of a parts manufacturer called Febest in the USA?
If so is their part quality any good?

 

This is why I ask

Hey man,

 

I JUST got my engine mount put in, it was a febest part that came all the way from Estonia as the USA were out of stock. Great quality part. Check out my build thread to see the item itself.

 

Cheers, Mike

Since I adapted that Momo seat (which I only install when I am doing handling races), I have satisfied my need for a supportive seat .

I never heared of that company, but it doesn't appear to be in US. I am not sure what their regular site looks like, but their mobile version is not very good. I am not even sure what they actually manufacture...

Just saw that video!!! Soooo funny man well done

[leon r]

Thanks, TBOWGN!

BTW, that last race agaist the Mustang ended up quite pricy for me... I spun a rod bearing on a race motor AND bent a shaft on new PF Red turbo!!!

It is back together with a simple 20G turbo and a random stock bottom end I had kicking around.

[TBOWGN]

Such a shame you just missed out... It would have been pricless seeing the faces on some of the guys you nailed

 

So what next??

Auto parts and reasonably priced by the look of it
My new strut tops went in OK and look well made but time will tell

My bits came from the UAE

One of my fiends made a video of my van a couple of years ago, today it got picked up by Yahoo feed, which is pretty cool. Americans get to see something they never get to see here, a fast Mitsu van

Just reset my personal best! 11.69@120 wirh a smallish 20g turbo!



I am still running out of fuel! What is most power you guys make from RVR?

[evo-gsr]

Did that Viper even try? Looks like he didnt even launch it. Driving like an old lady.
Good stuff on your behalf but!!

[leon r]

You can see him get sideways off the line, so he tied, just not very well . I would have preferred to have him run his best! But on nights like this you are at the mercy of strangers and their abilities.

[White Knight]

Awesome run man, great launch!!!
2ltr beats 8ltr.,.. That poor viper dude. Likely the most masculine car there done over by one of the more feminine (ahem)! The viper got bit, bad pun intended. Who cares whether the viper really tried anyway, its about the figure, I don't see any room on that slip to draw pictures.
Nice work Leon.

The viper ran high 13 with a trap of 116mph.... He was trying to run the RVR down don't worry about that!
Absolutely emasculating experience and its all on YouTube for all his bottle tanned gym junkie, gold chain wearing friends to see. Bwaaa ha ha ha!!!!!

[leon r]

Thanks, White Knight! This has been the most satisfying car I have built and raced to date!

[leon r]

Another week, another video featured on Yahoo!

http://news.boldride...ce-video/80477/

This time, I gave that Viper a rematch and then... another rematch . Someday he will beat me
