Are you going to the meet tomorrow?

 

hamster + pastelitos = no joke

 

Hello Homos!

 

serg - yeah ill be there... not sure what time exactly, but ill be there.... got the goods? lol

 

I'll be going up to jupiter, after I install the other injectors.

I have to go pick up yours/petes stuff, and the mishimoto radiator, I left up there.

Remind max, about my cd, lol. I haven't heard it in foreverrrrr.

I'll give you the coilover dial at least, lol.

 

i guess im gonna have to make an appearance on wed night? lol

 

have any of you guys found anything to correct bump steer? like a kit or something? dont want to raise the ride height

 

bump steer?? as in u hit a bump and ur steering wheel goes gaga?

 

exactamundo... ive also got torque steer, but thats another story

 

I'm guessing when the car is too low and you hit a bump it makes the car steer elsewhere violently?

That would explain my steering issue.

 

yessir.... ive heard of other vehicles that have been lowered and have had this problem. the fix for that particular vehicle was to change the angle of the connecting rod if im not mistaken... so i was wondering, im sure there are other tcs that have a drop as low or even lower... there must be some sort of fix for it

Interesting article, lol.

Hard to understand most of it. Although I get the basic concept =p

 

denny u have TQ steer cuz ur FWD with no LSD

and theres really not much u can do about bump steer on this car. all u can try to do is recheck ur alignment.. i dont have that problem.. im wondering why both of you would..

 

It might be the ridiculous amount of preload I have, lmao.

How much is enough preload? 1/4 of an inch? 1/8? or less?

I must have a couple of inches of preload on the coilover right now >.< !!!!!!

I've read about 1/4 is the norm. Not sure though. Suspension gurus chime in plzzzzzzzzz.

 

lol.. well, i have yet to get an alignment... lol so that could be it. im waiting on a rear camber kit before i take it in. but i would hate to have the alignment done and discover i still have bumpsteer.

what would you recommend... get the alignment and see what happens, or raise the car about an inch or two then get the alignment?

 

isn't bumpsteer when you... ah, nevermind. lol.

 

alignment alignment alignment....that is the most crucial part for handling.

Its like having a 17000hp car and having a driver trying to race it with one arm....alignment is almost like a "dyno tune" for your suspension

 

lol



Hey sergio, are you sure you not getting scared...maybe this competition coming up for you will make you put that fuel pump in finally, haha

 

lmao.

Its going in with the new injectors and the fuel rail ^^
