...ings...sick minded bastards...

New Camber plates and poly all around front and rear...I thought my car handled nicely before, , ask John The Asspirate, what he thought...but now...
And I haven't even had a full alignment yet...Not noticing any harshness from the poly, just a firmness that translates into a rock solid feeling of bringing the car together...
Anyway...pic's as best I have atm:

I know how you feel. I just boxed my rear trailing arms plus installed poly bushings.

did you have to grind off that metal tab when fitting the trailing arm bushing in it's housing?

Not sure, I had a local shop do the work for me. It's not a job I wake up in the morning going "YAH I totally want to do this"...and it's so easy for someone with a hoist, I was happy to pay for someone else to do it.

It took me about 6 hours do install all new bushings in the rear. Grinding off those tabs was a real pita

Ok- I'm gonna ask.

You've got camber plates that require you to remove the entire assembly to alter the angle?

The 240's have a good amount of factory adjustment. You can set the initial offset and tune them with the factory slots. An offset wrench is enough loosen them and snug them after you make adjustments.

Looks hawt Phil! Yeah man, your car STUCK to the road before, now it must be even mo awesomer. Just wait till the header goes on, then you'll have even more powa to play with too. Though I think the turbo will still be maxed out around 12psi like it was on the dyno. Although with a better flowing header, maybe that would change... I dunno.

Why do you think the turbo is tapped at 12psi?? Seems kinda low for a T3? yes/no?


I'm thinking that with the new bigger plumming, the NPR I/C, and the header, I should be able to punch this thing up to 240ish whp...but that will require more boost...I thought the T3 at 60/63 would be good for close to 300whp?

Thoughts??

[The Aspirator]

I used to think so too, but when my car was on the dyno with the 60/63, ported 90+, and 940 intercooler, the car would NOT make any more power than 235whp. No matter how much more boost, how we tuned it, whatever, it was happiest at 11psi. Your car was very similar, it did what, 220whp at 11-12psi? I forget if we tried higher than that. But you're right, a much better header and bigger IC will definitely see power increase, even at the same boost.
