    how much to keep up with EVO

    An Evo IX with the usual bolt-ons and ecu flash with stock turbo should put down around 300 awhp. Their turbo is extremely responsive. They weigh about 300lb less than a MKIII, so i would imagine you would need approximately 330rwhp to keep up. Their awd will actually work against them as speeds...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    The problem with making the adapters, you need to make quite a few sets, i would imagine 40-50 to really make it worth your time. But then, it would probably take 2-3 years to sell them off. You guys should ask 935motorsports, hes the first one to replicate these adapters, i doubt he would do...

    ST Anti-Sway Bar Kit

    IMHO, the whiteline bar is much stiffer than the ST bar. The difference in feeling going from stock to ST is about the same going an ST to a Whiteline bar. I would spend the extra $$ and go stiffer, youll appreciate it in the end.

    A1 Toe bars???

    I installed a set. Here's my take. The bar is slightly wider than stock, so it takes a little bit of force to get them to fit inside the bracket before you can bolt them in. The holes for the sway bar links are too small to fit the OEM bolts and needed to be drilled out a little bit. Of...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    How about using Evo calipers instead? They can be readily found for $500-800 for the fronts and rear. I would imagine the research couldnt be much more with a man of your skills.

    NGK wires and NGK 6097 spark plugs wont fasten down?

    I was in the process of swapping out my Autolite 3923's for some new NGK 6097 seeing how they were getting high recommendations. I cant get my current NGK wires to seat on the plug. Its almost as if they are too short. Has anybody else had this problem?

    Time for new spark plugs, will stock MKIV TT plugs work?

    im currently using autolites 3923's and i get a slight miss with them. Ive read that NGK 6097's are another option. But im wondering will factory toyota plugs for a 2jz work? will they be too short? Ive read the iridiums help smooth the idle out a bit. Im running moderate boost. 18lbs on a...

    Wheel fitment??????

    running a 275/40/18 is a pretty tall tire. You overall diameter is close to 26.7" compared to the stock size which is 24.9". I would recommend a 275/35/18 which is 25.6". Plus its a much easier size to find and much cheaper.

    brake pedal going to floor when running???

    Sounds like you have an internal leak in the MC. I would check for leaks around your calipers first. My guess is to replace the MC since its relatively cheap.

    Motor Weight: 7M or 2JZ which iweighs more?

    I was curious if there is a huge difference in motor weight between the 7M motor with stock turbo and the 2JZ motor with stock twins. Im thinking it could affect your suspension setup if they differ by more than a few hundred pounds.

    Guys, please keep with the topic on hand. We all know that the lexus afm raises fuel cut, we also know that it should be run with 550's. Im asking, if for some reason i have 440's and lexus afm, will it have a lower FC point than one of 550's and lexus AFM?

    Will adding 550's raise fuel cut?

    I have a lexus AFM and thought i installed a set of 550's. i bought them used, but now im wondering if they were actually 550's and not stockers. Im getting premature fuel cut. So will 550's help raise fuel cut? or will the stock 440's contribute to premature fuel cut?
