In relation to suspension, is investing in performance tires and wheels a better bang for my buck in terms of performance gains?
>>14281159
>I dont know how lifts work
>>14281150

>>14281161

Do actual research on what handling mods people are finding effective on your job.

Don't recall people here saying it was a noodle, heavy yes, but not a noodle.
>>14281563
>heavy
only compared to the CRX
>>14281291
Honda Boyz!!
>>14281577
Heavier than the sedan.
>>14281501
Suck a dick faggotlord
>>14281942
2500lbs
>>14281562
That's kind of sick, rangers + Dakotas are about as far as I go in trucks.
>>14281563
>Not knowing about the Del Sol noodle meme
Which is true btw, enjoy your flexy piece of shit when you take the top off. About 10 years ago it was a big topic on Hondurr forums, but then people stopped caring about Del Slows.
They're not heavy, either. The heaviest ones are maybe 300 lbs more than an EG, but that's still a shitton less than 95% of other cars on the road.
>>14281339
Am I dumb, or are those two different trucks ?
>>14282162
>take the top off
who would do that
>>14281562
federally illegal
>>14282226
I did a front end swap at some point too, not hard on these squarebodies
>>14281550
I had Xtreme 16" wheels on it before I found the 20s. They were pretty cheap because of a little bit of pitting
>>14281529
I'm used to it, no big deal
>>14281110
I thought that was a magical one-poster hoist with a bipedal fluid reservoir for a second
>>14281339
Sick sick sick
>>14282299
well done. Does the engine get dirty if you go for a drive, since you have no wheel wells?
>>14282698
I don't drive it daily, but it does get a bit dirty when driven in the rain. Nothing that can't be cleaned with a rag though. It'll get tubbed eventually.
>>14282715
Do you make those or buy them?
>>14282721
You could either go the cheap way and buy trailer fenders and weld those in, or you could buy them online from air suspension websites like avsontheweb or airbagit, just to name a few

>>14281110
You own a lift. Nice!
So i guess you have long ago noticed the extreme difference in appearance that most cars have on ground vs off ground and with vs without wheels.
Had a 85 camaro,(primer grey)
on the rack w/o wheels to me it looked like what Luke Skywalker would drive.

>77 corolla
slow slushbox ive owned for 2 years, only got it running %100 right a month ago, and now its rusted while i fixed it
>77 valiant

>94 statesman
heavy as fuck on fuel, replaced my old DD of 3 years because it didn't burn oil and it was cheap
>91 liberty
awesome little car, engine blowing smoke and can no longer keep up with repairs
>you will never have a single perfect car the satisfies all your roles and requirements
>>14283347
my nigga
>>14281161
dampers first then power and reduction
tires and brakes are a really minimal gain
don't bother with springs unless your willing to change geometry
Just bought a R2C short ram intake for my 2015 Fiesta SE. Not sure what to do next. Either a CFM short shifter, Corksport rear torsen bar, or Steeda rear engine mount.

>>14283606
Very nice. Why did you choose shorties over longtubes?
>>14283606
>built 3800
>not a v8
What the fuck dude ?
>>14283645
Nobody makes longtubes for the 3800.
Some guy several years back made a few sets of longtubes - 12 sets I think? Near impossible to find. I'd have to get a set custom made and it's not really worth it. The shorties work just fine. They're a huge improvement over the terrible stock manifolds.
>>14283654
I do own one with a V8.
My GTA has a 305 TPI which I'd like to swap out for a 350 TPI one day. Would make for a fun project.

i have an '89 4.0l auto 2wd manche
>>14283606
>Custom grind Comp cam (220/230, .512/.512, 112LSA)
Is that 220/[email protected]"? Or 220/230 total?
>>14283606
how does it feel to know my stock LS1 cost far, far less than the money you've dumped on this car
>>14283700
@0.50
I'm not sure off memory what the total duration is. My cam card is buried downstairs in a box under tons of junk.
Stock cam specs are 182/192 .413/.413 115LSA
