Northern NJ drift/drive club

[nocashmotorsport]

im actually looking to rebuild the one in the car, nothing serious just want to run like 7 psi on a t25 or something like that. hopefully it'll hold nitrous and boost..lol..i just got some springs (just got tired of being 4x4) good alignment too. i want to run at the road course but i heard it was like 250 just get started..

[PyroTecK]

check http://www.autox4u.com normally its like $240+ to run on road courses... this sat its like $60... members get on for $40

[KFL]

The 250 is for a full track day/school. Get about hr+of track time.This weekend is a regular autox, my buddy is going to it black s14. Although its going to be packed 140+ cars probably 5min on track. I wanted to check this out but my car is down for more upgrades.

[nocashmotorsport]

what do you guys think... i have some cash saved up, do you think i should continue to save for a sr so i have something while i build the ka or should i get rims and tires???

[mirochuki13]

Coilovers, diff, wheels and tires, seat and steering wheel, motor... in that order.

[nocashmotorsport]

straight to the point, i has acctualy really thinking about buying a diff. maybe a j30 with the 4.10 of my r200

[PyroTecK]

Coilovers, diff, wheels and tires, seat and steering wheel, motor... in that order.

id have to agree w/ the man. idk much about other diffs since i just slapped in my s15 hlsd and that was pretty much it. i hear hlsd is not the way to go if u want to drift though.

[nocashmotorsport]

well you know that drifting is not my style im more of a road racing/touge...that kinda things. i was thinking a 1.5 way but its too much money...i need help!!!

[PyroTecK]

nocashdude then just get an hlsd.... ebay... i know some people dont trust it or w/e and maybe i just got lucky but i got an awesome deal on mine... i did forget i even ordered it by the time it showed up but next time ill just overnight parts fro jah-pan.

the autocross today was great and the sticky a** kumhos made me pretty happy... i should still be going faster though... best time was 88.9 which is pretty average, the fast cars were in the high 70s today. i did murder lots of cones. vids will be up once i get it all edited out.

[nocashmotorsport]

im about t buy a turbo kit from some guy in nico, 500 for garett rebuilt turbo, manifold, elbow, wastegate, dump tube, z32 maf, and sr injectors. what do you guys think good deal or dont do it

pyronice time when you think about it u only having a stock ka motor with a nice turbo kit you will def. be low 80

nice... tires sounded like they held really well.. my car would have been all over the place with bad tires and an open diff. lol good job though, what place did you end up getting anyways?

[My RB25]

Well well well, this thread is still goin...very nice. What up guys, been a while lol. My comp took a dump on me a while back thanks to my siblings, now im on this micro laptop....i hate it. But it works so i cant really complain.

Hows everything goin wit everyone? All i really remember is miro, dat an Njdevil lol. I'll try to get on here a few times a day, jus curious is you guys are still playin around wit club loose. I'd love to go, but that $75 stopped me in my tracks, i love drifting...but on top of the cost of tires n the risk of breakin somethin....thats pricy as hell. I'd much rather stay on the strip for like $28 n know ima drive home Atleast for now...until my cash flow is a lil better

[mirochuki13]

STEVE! You fell off the face of the earth for a while there. Thought you drifted off a cliff or something... haha. What have you been up to?

Car's a bit different from last time we all met up... LS1 power!

[nocashmotorsport]

hey pyro im selling my s13... i just dont have the funds for it anymore. plus i got a really good deal on a honda track ready so im just gonna be in the honda game for a bit.lol after all the s*** that i talked... if you know anyone that is interested in my car let me know..i need it gone asap.

[My RB25]

No....no drifting off cliffs lol. If that your pink petunia??? What a transformation....plus LS1, damn, you sure thats the same car? What have i been up too? In short got laid off back in Nov, but i got hired about a month ago at this mostly exhaust shop. They have me welding, doin inspections n your regular mechanic work, but at a much better price my old crappy shop was

Once I fight back the bill monster I plan on goin all out on my car, but recently was thinkin about getting a later model 240, when I can afford it lol. Im jus comin to the realization that my S13 has far to much rust to be a long term keeper and project...really not sure if its worth dumpin that kinda money into this one...it jus has some sentimental value to me lol. So I may keep it as a track car, again this is all speculation, but I sure could go for a s14

[My RB25]

700....it was bothering me....

[mirochuki13]

Is that the low version fender roller? Where did you get that from?

Steve, S14 would be sweet. My s*** was a rust bucket too... took a month to fix all of it. But you're welding for a living now... Rust repair will be cake.

Friday:





Saturday:

[PyroTecK]

its the powered by max roller. i ordered it from them.

[mirochuki13]

So are you getting new coilovers or what? Make it lower. You'll go faster. And get more women and stuff...

[PyroTecK]

So are you getting new coilovers or what? Make it lower. You'll go faster. And get more women and stuff...

hahaha the more women part is tempting man... it really is. now cover ur ears for what im about to say, it verges on blasphemy.

im thinking about going a lil higher, at most a 1/4". how the car was before at about 1" fender gap the control arms were parallel to the ground. after i lowered it as far as it would go i noticed the car had more body roll, i expected that since i knew that i would be fking up my suspension geometry but i said fk it all i want the sexy look.

im toying w/ the idea of relocating my suspension pick up points. if i can raise the control arms on the inside itll compensate for the lowering and will help my rollcenter. theres alot of other things im toying w/ such as alignment settings and sways... i may just remove the rear sway and see how the car grips. i noticed in my video that in one turn i was just about to lift the inside rear, and that is very much a no no w/ a helical diff lol.

most work on the red car is stalled (i hope) the cars running good and set up well enough to race in till i get a better feel for dodging cones.

this weekend is gonna be an all out drinking and wrenching session for me. i am soooooo sick of seeing the silvia sitting there doing nothing. anyone that wants to come and help out, watch, or just drink some beers and eat some food is more than welcome. im focused on having the engine bay cleared out this weekend and having the car at atx by next week.

miro, let me know if ur gonna be at slidewayz some time this week (preferably after 6) i really want to see the car. if u still got my number hit me up or if u want to come by my house this weekend ur more than welcome. i could use the motivation/inspiration.

[B-Boy DuB-L]

hey does anyone have a working maf?

[mirochuki13]

I'm going to let you in on a super secret of speed. Ride height overcomes EVERYTHING. Yeah, lowering the car messes up the roll center, gives you bump steer, screws up the alignment if you don't have the adjustable arms to fix it, blah blah, etc. But the speed you lose from those crappy things, you will gain back (and then some) due to having lower center of gravity. Pick up any book on racing suspension setup, and they all pretty much say the same thing: do whatever it takes to get the car as low as possible, then worry about fixing the problems that go along with having the car stupid low.

Anyway, I'm not saying you MUST lower the car, but in theory it will go faster the lower it is. And it will look better and get you more women.

About the rear tires lifting off, try stiffening the front bar or springs. It's probably lifting the rear because your front is rolling over too much going into turns. Big sway bars are good. The less the car rolls, the faster it will react to your inputs. Tires will also stay in contact with ground better since the camber won't be changing due to car rolling. Also, lot's of camber in front. -3.5 degrees is good for autox/street. I've done autox with -5 before and cornering was super awesome. Braking starts to suck at that point though because you're only using inside of tires to stop the car. So real easy to lock brakes.

Are you trying to stay in a specific class for autox or just trying to go as fast as possible?

Going to swing by Slidewayz at some point to pick up my wing that broke off but not going to stay long. Would love to stop by and check out the cars and stuff face, but have to build someone a cage for east coast bash. So that's probably going to take all weekend. But will give you a call if it miraculously gets done early.

Nino, I have a MAF. $20. I'm in the garage all weekend. Call me if you're going to come get it.

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Miro i hate that you say you have a maf lol. Your too far for me argghhh. i dont have a car to come get it with. But thank you. Im going to see if i can get one closer to me and if not i will def hit you up, my maf took a s*** on me

[mirochuki13]

Yeah, let me know. Or I can bring it with me to east coast bash next weekend if you're not in a hurry, and you can get it there.
