iirc, didn't JTP prefer a 1.5 lsd in his FC at one point? I don't remember exactly if it was him or some guy from j-land.

How do you like to drive? Can you describe in detail things you like and things you dont like about your setup?

Talk about how your car feels. Do you know what your front end is doing? Do you know what the back end is doing?

Any planned parts you want in the near future?

I mean, i can talk all day about what i've done to my car and why it works for me but that's not going to help YOU.....

Who's to say you couldn't hop in anyones car in here and drive it with your own personal style and technique?
If I were to describe my style, its fast and sloppy. My front end dips in and semi levels out past the entry.

Suspension:
Tanabe GF210(eh) (3kg/R2.5kg)
Stock angle
Camber -1.2F/-0.8R
Stock steering wheel
16X8 wheels
"Poly" bushings

Engine:
13B N/A

Drivetrain
S4 180,xxx of greatness

Future Suspension:
Coils(something fully costumizable)
Stiffer bushings
Slightly stiffer mounts
Sways(slightly stiffer than stock)


Engine:
13B SP N/A(still gonna daily it)

Drivetrain:
TII conversion
2-Way diff(still researching)


I don't think I can hop in anyone's car on here and impress people

I'm done?

Try no sways. At least no rear.

Tanabe GF210(eh) (3kg/R2.5kg) That being said, leave your sways.
Stock angle fix that. Washers or rack spacers. Fast and sloppy needs moar angle.
Camber -1.2F/-0.8R
Stock steering wheel
16X8 wheels
"Poly" bushings

Engine:
13B N/A

Drivetrain
S4 180,xxx of greatness

Future Suspension:
Coils(something fully costumizable) Sure.
Stiffer bushings Depends on where. I'd say control arm/trailing arm for sure.
Slightly stiffer mounts
Sways(slightly stiffer than stock) If you get coils and just get those fancy endlinks/bushings for your stock sways, you might not need to go aftermarket here....

That dip will go away or be reduced greatly when you get better springs/shocks. You can still transfer weight to the front but it's going to feel a hell of alot different.

God I hope I get it...

Isn't the battery mostly used to crank the car, and the alternator operates the accessories?

How about this, it may have the answer?

400 cold cranking amps for $40. As long as it has atleast a 15 minute reserve capacity it will do it's job. Hearing good testimonials on em everywhere!

Find me a $40 optima....

I'm driving the bitch every weekend for atleast an hour or two total run time. Gotta jump it every time. My current battery is fuxored and i'd rather spend the extra $100 i'd save for not buying an optima on cool ****.....*paint* I dont have flooding issues. With 13ish volts on the factory gauge, it will start FIRST TIME EVERY TIME, unless it's been sitting longer than 3 months which shouldn't happen again unless i completely destroy something to render it undriveable. NO bullshit, tags are getting put on next month.

CAR: 89 infini, JDM

Suspension:
GAB coilovers, spring rate no idea
GAB camber adjusters
wheel spacer, for that extra degree of lock

Driveline:
1.5 way diff was in when i got the car
clutch not sure, its strong I it gets alot of abuse.

Engine:
13BT from a cosmo (don't crucify me the infini 1 was gone when I got the car)
174kw tho
straight through exhaust

Brakes:
stock
drift handbrake button, useless tho my handbrake doesnt work for ****


Chassis:
got a couple of braces on the weak points from the factory.
also strut brace

Wheels/Tires:
SUPER! Advan POS 16 inch
Bridgestone potenzas up front 205/55/16
back are mismatched, there both 225/50/16 tho

I have read that switching to dual oil coolers from the single puts too much stress on the oil pump. Did you do any other upgrades to use dual coolers?

Engine cooling is number 1.

i have dual oil coolers and no way in hell would mine hit a curb...i can think of much much more that would hit the curb before my oil coolers..and i would say that an oem bumper restricts more air than these oil coolers....

Wow!! Your Setup looks great. I'm guessing you don't have any of these problems I've read about either, so I guess it's not true.
