Only seen the one pic on fb Mark. Not clear if someone punted it from the side or if they've just spooned it and managed to roll it on a wide open airfield. For sheer comedy value, I'm hoping its the latter. Lol. :p
But wouldn't stiffening front rate (to a point) also help limit the extent of understeer associated with static/dynamic camber trransition from the oem hub arrangement? Granted its a bodge.
bozothenutter worth looking on ebay NL, UK & DE for second hand Eibach springs key word 'ERS', 'race' or similar. Race teams periodically sell them as i've had several sets myself this way. Would've thought for still using it on the road you'd be fine with up to 80-90N up front on the oem 'RS'...
bozothenutter - would the progressive springs not make it difficult to judge where the benefit was coming from? This is the main reason I avoided using them and just bought multiple sets of single rate to experiment with. You can go fairly high rate wise up front - mine are currently way above...
STDSA on the 2000 cars, st75-15 from 2001 onwards. Sadev diff & shafts with both.
Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
See what youre implying but would you genuinely use a screwdriver for hammering in nails?
I appreciate you wanting to play devils advocate, but come on - he may as well have just said he likes turtles.
Me personally i'd save the cash and put it toward a boeing 747.
Derp.
Yes mate, guessing one is 2000 evo and the other either 01/04. Is the one you've seen without using the marelli ecu or is it on bodies with standalone?
That was my point - there was no difference in the bar thickness. It was 22mm throughout.
The later beam is as per the picture and has additional plating on it -'the red bit'. If yours doesn't have that, it's obviously the earlier variant.
172 cup stub axle mount is 5mm thinner to account for the rim offset.
Rear beams are the same bar the 182 which has the extra plating underneath the stub axle pickups.
The rear mount gets in the way so you have to re-jig the linkage to make it fit , genuinely interested to see if you get this to work.
Gate throw felt all wrong on the rigged up linkage I used. :)
Guessing they swapped out the belt when they did the cam install aswell? What a bunch of f**k abouts! :mad:
Good news you've managed to rectify it to how it should have been all along, must feel infinitely better! :)
Granted dyno days aren't an exact science but you'd not expect it to be hugely different from what they told you. :(
How did the torque figure compare between the two?
