    wheel fitment question

    There is a wheel fitment thread that is stickied. Though there is very little mention of backspacing. From some of the common wheel width/offsets, it would appear that the rear has about ~7" of backspacing. So those rims should be fine in the back. Can't comment on the front, though I'm pretty...

    ksport or stance?

    I don't have any actual experience with either, but from reading other people's experience, the Stance coilovers are supposed to be very good. The dampening and quality is supposed to be better than most of the others in the same price range. If it were my choice, I would go with the Stance.

    using etanol on supras

    You need about 30% more fuel if you're running ethanol in place of regular gas, something that your stock ecu isn't taking into account. Since you mixed it with gas it's not that bad, but it's not really a good solution. If you ran regular premuim gas like you're supposed to you probably...

    AEM "vs" AEM V2

    Since it's a full standalone it shouldn't matter what car its for. The only difference is that you’ll need to start from scratch instead of having a base map and other helpful things to get started. I'm not sure about the v2 AEM but that's how it works for most standalones.

    Turbo bigger or smaller

    We need to know what your goals for the "long run" are before we can tell you what is best. high HP? best response? pump gas only? etc. The answer isn't going to be the same depending on what you want out of the car.

    Suspension feedback for mk3 coilovers?

    They're supposedly supposed to be some of the best, however I have never actually seen any feedback on them so I don't know.

    Kouki Tail lights??

    Because those two words are soo hard to understand. God forbid we use the original terminology for the late and early model, it's like we think the car was made by Japanese people... oh wait, it was. Guess I'm just a ricer :icon_roll

    Kouki Tail lights??

    The kouki tail lights are the ones that come on the 89-92. Zenki tail lights would be on the 86-88 models. As it has already been mentioned, the JDM kouki lights are shaded darker than the USDM ones.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Does anyone have an idea of how much backspacing there is for the rear? The usual 9.5 +40 offset wheels that are recommended point at about ~7” of backspacing. I’m looking at some 18x11 rims with +35 offset, which is going to be putting the wheels at about 7.25”-7.5” of...

    Suspension feedback for mk3 coilovers?

    No, you can only adjust the dampening setting.

    Turbo Clamp

    Isn't that the clamp for the housing itself? There really isn't anything to upgrade to since all it does is keep the assembly together.

    making an exhaust

    Sadly, I do not have the dyno sheets because I did not perform the test. The thread was originally made on SF with the dyno sheets posted there. Since I don't particularly care about NA performance I didn't bother saving the images, however it did convince me that the 3" is the way to go...

    making an exhaust

    I do know that I saw a comparison to the same NA car being dynoed with a 2.5" and 3" and it was better off with the 3" for pretty much the entire powerband. I guess since I don't know the elitist "theory" behind it I must not know what the fuck I'm talking about though.

    Anybody else hate hose fittings?

    I thought you didn't need o-rings for AN fittings? Can't you just use teflon tape to seal the threads? I used a site called racer parts wholesale for all the pushlock fittings and lines I needed. They've got all the aeroquip stuff including the adapters available online.

    making an exhaust

    I would just go 3", even on an NA you'll have better top end and it doesn't really affect the lower end. Isn't the downpipe cast? I'm not a welder but I was under the impression that you can't weld casted metal? I'd avoid cheap ebay mufflers/resonators. If you get a good quality one you...

    tire width vs compound/design

    In general; wider tires will allow more corning grip, larger diameter tires will increase forward grip. As pointed out, just because one tire is rated at 245 it will not be exactly the same size as another 245 tire. Azenis tend to be a lot fatter than other tires that are labeled as the 'same'...
