which would you recommend?
-Galen

Chokudori · 10-25-2003, 11:34 AM

I'd say polyurethane because none of your other body rigidity/suspension mods are done and they are cheap.
Try pdm-racing.com to purchase. And then I would move on to changing the other bushingss to polyurethane later on.

Pilllowball will allow you to adjust caster though, so that might be good. But if you're planning to do SCCA, pillowball T/C rod would put you into a class with faster cars. The thing about strengthning these little parts is that it'll show weakness in other parts of the car and might ruin your total balance.

I have polyurethane on my car.

I hope this helps.

chuy · 10-25-2003, 01:17 PM

I like helmets, I like racing, I like working on cars, I like hanging out, and I like being at home!!! 6 months done and Ive got like 7 more too go. Oh and just to let you guys know for those that do know me my wife got rid of my Integra

so its a must for me to get a 240. I already ordered the E-manage and E-01 so take that Kazo.

Chokudori · 10-25-2003, 02:34 PM

Don't forget about ordering for suspension stuff. hehe

Chernobyl · 10-25-2003, 03:25 PM

Galen, I also recommend the poly bushing for your tie rods. We replaced the TC bushings on my dad's z32 with poly (energy suspension), its a good upgrade (replacement), and cheap. Installation is a bitch though, pressing out the old bushings took a while with a BFH and table vice. I plan to go poly in my TC rods once the stock bushings crap out. Pillowballs are more fun though!

SiNFuL · 10-25-2003, 03:26 PM

sweet. more touge'rs? I just got my friend w/ an Integra into Touge. He wants to go w/ us next time; but hes too afraid to try it in his car so he'll ride w/ me. Maybe next weekend?
-Galen

SiNFuL · 10-25-2003, 03:28 PM

awesome. Poly's it is. Anyone in CO have a press? I might just get it done at a shop. Hopefully it'll be done next fri.
-Galen

sts2poc1 · 10-25-2003, 03:39 PM

hey galen if its just an old rubber bussing then torch it and use a c-clamp man

Chernobyl · 10-25-2003, 04:24 PM

It's not that easy with our TC rods, 2poc. They have metal and shit in them, and are a real bitch to get out with just hand power (although do-able). I suggest just save yourself the headache and get them pressed out at a shop. If not, cut out the center part, rip out all the rubber and goo and whatnot, and then you're still going to be stuck with a metal ring pressed into the bushing hole. You'll have to find something of equal diameter, and use a table vice to press it out.

On another note, who drives the black s13 convertible

with FMIC and what look to be either Racing Harts or knock offs (rota subzeros) around the Denver area? I saw this guy coming out of the Jeffco courthouse yesterday and driving west on highway 6 in Golden. He was right behind me on my way to school. Just wondering if any of you know of him. And if you're reading, nice car man!

zenkiDori · 10-27-2003, 11:09 AM

well i'm back. i'll be down for some touge when i get some new brakes and tires. so it may be a bit, heheheh.

kazuo: did the video come out ok? i need a copy. i can give you a tape and CD if you need em.

SiNFuL · 10-27-2003, 04:48 PM

I 2nd what Jesse said(about the vids)...how about some of those pics too! =) No pressure though, I know how busy life can be and giving some guy some video is the last of your worries! Thanks ahead Kazuo. Maybe this weekend, and if not, I can def. do next weekend!!
-Galen

Chokudori · 10-27-2003, 07:13 PM

Welcome back Jesse

Sorry about the delay guys. I'm just overwhelmed with school projects. I haven't even looked at the pictures yet. I saw the video once. I should have some time this weekend. Although I have a race on Sunday again. And if my pillowball uppermount comes in, I'm gonna be busy installing that...

But yeah, so no touge for me this weekend either because of the race. But if you guys want to do a get together, we could do like a korean BBQ meet on friday or saturday. $5 per person. hehe. I'm flat broke right now.

SiNFuL · 10-27-2003, 11:15 PM

sweet. Korean sounds good and I'm getting to the broke stage as well. It's also getting to that time of year where I'm gonna get some stuff done to my 240, pray to god this engine is gone soon! =), then get ready for the 'boarding season. You guys snowboard?
-Galen

zenkiDori · 10-28-2003, 12:22 AM

i snowboard but not this or last season.

if i'm not working i'm down for a BBQ and helping with your PBMs.

Chokudori · 10-28-2003, 10:08 AM

I would like to try snowboarding since I'm Colorado, but I haven't had the chance to. Maybe if I make some extra money over the winter, I could try it.

Jesse, so what's your new work schedule?

zenkiDori · 10-28-2003, 10:23 AM

i'm off today but i work the rest of the week. i open wed. and thurs. then close on friday. i think i open on sat. my check is going to be hella small after this week.

SiNFuL · 10-28-2003, 03:15 PM

I'm off friday but i think I'm working. I'll check times. I dont think I'll have my whiteline bushings by then, so I dunno how safe it is for a touge but I'm def. down for some bbq; just hang out and talk. Snowboarding is fairly cheap i think; not really sure anymore. Especially once you have your own equipment. I'll see if I can work friday day instead of night. and then maybe we can do a bbq fri. evening, but make it not-so-late so Jesse can do work, and I think I'm working sat. as well. Alright guys, I look foward to it!
-Galen

720_datsun · 10-28-2003, 07:32 PM

my car searching this week did not go well. i walked out on 3 dealers who tried to screw me over. anyways yeah i just got home. i will be home on leave the 6th nov till the 15th.

SiNFuL · 10-28-2003, 08:04 PM

do you need a car before the 15th? Sometimes patience pays off!
-Galen

zenkiDori · 10-28-2003, 11:11 PM

hey i thought you guys might enjoy this post i made on another board. i just got so fed up with all these posers and went off.

Quote:

i hate all these posers that are all snobby about being JDM or knowing all the real JDM crap and come down on kids new to this whole thing for not knowing all kinds of specific stuff. what's worse is these douche bags don't even really drive thier cars! they spend thousands on JDM emblems, body kits, lights, etc. etc. to make thier car look like a drift or circut car and then what do they do with it? NOTHING! i'm sorry but pulling J-turns and donuts in a parking lot is NOT drifting you freaking posers! then they act all high and mighty about thier car being all hooked up with SR20 this, nismo that, like thier sh*t is supperior because they paid a$s loads of cash for S15 headlights, japanese body kits and huge "lightweight" rims. then they roll on sh*tty tyres, or, spend a$s loads for non DOT approved advans that have LESS grip than a cheap tyre like azenis. then they claim they drift or touge then you look at thier tyres and they're immaculate! these nissan and toyota guys are the new RICERS!!! at least the guys with altezzas and neons and stupid sh*t don't claim they are not ricers. i have more respect for mr. transport eclipse than these turd burglars. god DAMN!!! i don't care WHAT you drive, you could drive the f*cking top secret supra, or signal auto S15 for all i care, if you don't DRIVE it you suck NUTS! if you don't drift, race, touge, track days whatever, and you hook your ride all up like that, you are a f*cking DWEEB! jesus criminey! sh*t, it makes me want a f*cking civic or CRX or someshit.

BTW, transport eclipse is a guy who posted his RICED out eclipse RS and totally admitted he was a ricer, i don't get it but eh.

SiNFuL · 10-28-2003, 11:18 PM

Yea it's cool to be pissed I guess, but everyone has their own idea of whats cool. I love the idea of putting my life on the line to get good at touge,etc. It gives me the high some kids drink and smoke for. But then again, some people are completely satisfied with building airpline model kits all day. Now THAT makes no sense to me, but whatever! Anyways, out of all that nonsense I'm just trying to say that everyone has different hobbies. Some people dream of making their car perfect, like a life-size model airpline, and just love to look at it; to me this seems boring as hell and a waste of $$$$, but to them, it's awesome. So I completely respect everyone's idea in their car and the only people I really can't stand are stuck-up assholes who think that its fun as hell to fuck w/ people cars and talk shit out their window and piss people off; that's one fucked up hobby and they're gonna get shot. =), otherwise anything goes! Yea.

zenkiDori · 10-28-2003, 11:27 PM

anyways, does this sound good to anyone?

Halloween Freakshow

SiNFuL · 10-29-2003, 12:17 AM

sorta; I think I'm definately gonna do 93.3's Not-So-Silent Night.
-Galen

zenkiDori · 10-29-2003, 12:33 AM

93.3 what?

SiNFuL · 10-29-2003, 01:16 AM

93.3=Alternative radio station. I think offspring, 311, and like 6 other bands are gonna be playing. It's in late novemeber.
-Galen

zenkiDori · 10-29-2003, 06:19 AM

i know what 93.3 is, lol. yeah, but this is on friday.

Chokudori · 10-29-2003, 03:46 PM

There's absolutely nothing wrong with girls playing with barbie dolls. There's also absolutely nothing wrong with people collecting/making nice looking cars.

Bill Gates owns a Mclaren, and I highly doubt he knows how to drive it.

I also think Bill Gates is gay. hahaha... But I guess that's really not the point.

Barbie doll collecters could be proud of their collection... I guess. People with nice looking cars with no action needs to realize that they are collecting baribe dolls.

zenkiDori · 10-29-2003, 09:42 PM

my problem is these people claim to drive, drift etc. etc. but don't. any time you ask em to come up they cop and make make excuses as to why they can't run. a friend of mine has the SICKEST FD i have ever seen, but has no time to drive it(he's a doctor), at the same time, he doesn't claim to go on touge runs all the time and be all fast on the track. i have no problem with people collecting cars, but when they talk shit and pose and say they drift etc. etc. and don't do it, they are douche bags.

but i honestly do have less respect for people who don't drive thier cars, as drivers. people are separate from thier cars, so this has no bearing on thier person, but as far as cars and driving goes.

haha, i dunno if i 'splained it right.

sts2poc1 · 10-29-2003, 09:46 PM

yea i guess i can say i drive, i drift, i touge and i am a douch at times too

SiNFuL · 10-29-2003, 10:38 PM

OMG, man this senior in my Choir class today(everyone hates him because hes a dick to begin with) but he was like "Yea i go drifting all the time in my civic." I was like, Oh so you E-brake or what? and then he says; "Nah dude, E-brakings for losers; since I have RWD I just gas it." I wanted to smack him so fucking hard. It took him 20min before he'd admit that his civic wasn't RWD. =) Anywyas, whats the plan for friday? I'm kinda low on dough so I dunno about that trance concert; plus there are a lot of Halloween parties going on. How about sat. or sun.?
