Ha. Little known secret, mine are older than that. They came off Yuri's S14. I don't feel any diffference, they are as rock solid as ever, but I'm sure they could use a rebuild. Contemplating putting them on ebay and getting JIC's. Depends on how difficult it is to get them rebuilt.

I'm always worried about that After all the person that installed it used a hammer to beat it in

I really need to do something about brakes before then. I still got stock everything all the way around, even pads

oh yeah i remember we talked about that. yuri barely used them though.

i think its in my head, but the car feels softer than when i first put them on. i dont remember the car rolling so much when i first got the whole setup (azzennis with hks setups) done, now just getting back from another track event, she rolls a little more than i like on the track.

i wanna take them off, take them apart and try to push and pull on the piston at different dampening settings.

road atlanta is a track in Atlanta Georgia

VIR is Virginia International Raceway in danville VA

Summit point is somewhere in the hills of West Virginia.

do a search on www.google.com for any of these track names and you'll find all the info you need.

I do have some slop in the front now. I thought it was the coilover, but I looked under the car and voila, bushing gel all over the place. NO EXCUSES, I will be ready. My car sounds less and less intimidating as this thread goes on. Shit talking must start soon.

I have no clue how we would go about getting in on a track, would we have to rent it out? What are our options?

we'd have to look to a couple sites that do open track events


speedtrials usa
lookout drift (they usually follow where track events are)
NASA racing

then sign up. OR look to the enthusiast clubs, BMW, Ferrari, Porschce, ect and find out which of them have dates setup where 30+ of them have spent money to rent the track. we squeez in and violla!

i think the first option is easiest. but we would need several timers to make the shit talking more competive. Actually we probably couldnt do it with track time, since you can only pass on straight aways during open track time. no passing in corners since its not door to door racing event.

the only way we could race door to do is to spend 5-10,000 on a NA honda and race in the honda challenge.
