As always I like the progress of your car. Do you know with this new class will you be allowed intercooler upgrades ?

Glad I found the instructions to pull it out from the bottom cause that does not look fun

I went mountune for the whole reason of not doing the nose pull and install it from underneath

Oh man, the more pics I see like this, the more I think a big front bar would help overall grip and control with ours cars (at the cost of more understeer over the limit). That passenger front must be close to bottomed out.

lol

my issue is the car sits a bit lower than i want, but all the springs that sit higher are too soft, ground control seems to be getting close for a coilover conversion, we are working out the top hat choice

Yeah, I am leaning towards a GC setup on either Koni Sports, or Bilstein B8s myself.

Given where I live, and that this car is used year 'round as my ONLY vehicle, I wish that there were a permanent coating I could put over the WHOLE assembly to stave off the inevitable salt corrosion/pitting which will happen (and possibly even prevent the adjuster threads from being able to move). [:(]

im thinking if i get something from them, use a 225lb spring in all 4 corners as the current swifts are 212lbs, and bring the car up half in front and 2/3in rear


im still trying to figure out tires so i can at least make it out to the pro events. my co driver cant buy a full set of tires anymore, and im changing jobs so replacing the destroyed nexens is getting tricky

anyone want to buy a solid antminer s7?

I am thinking of going with GC also. i have used them in the past on other cars and they where good. I wonder if GC would do a combo like they did for the honda guys.
Anyway, i am planing on staying on 17 with a 45 series (daily driver, bad road btw, not a autox or track setup) but i cant lower it alot with that profile, also i can lower it (with a diferent wheel/tire, jumm 15;s lol) and change springs if i ever want to auto x or track it
