it should be back up in another day. Rick is switching servers so it has to fall into effect.Check back in another day or so!

[klattr1]

ok, i got it working now. Try it again. The vid is in the same location on the page!

[andrave]

besides time depends on track, weather conditions, lots... I like your car though, the updated page looks good too.

i do have camber issues with the sportlines(negative camber). But I just bought OBX camber correction eccentric bolts to help adjust it. I bought them off of Ebay. I will install them soon.As far as traction goes, if you are looking for straight line peformance, correct the camber but if you are all about handling and dont mind wearing tires, leave the negative camber.I do have wheel hop but I plan to get subframe spacers to alleviate it.

i have some whiteline springs and i measured a drop of just about 1.5" front and rear (claimed 1.75" drop) so it should be a similar drop to the sportlines and im also using camber correction eccentric bolts(whiteline ones) on the rear. i set them as positive as possible and got the camber down to -1.3 degrees in the rear. still pretty aggressive camber for dragging. did you order a set of bolts for both the inner & outer bushings or just one set? i only have the inner ones installed on mine so more adjustment is available with some outer bushings/bolts

Speaking of quarter mile times..We have 2 SR owners here and one has dynoed 285 rwhp and ran a 12.8 in the 1/4 with 18 inch wheels all aroundThe other SR guy dynoed 295 rwhp and ran a 12.5 but he had stock 16's with 225 Nitto NT 555R's..Im hoping to be in the low 13's with ~250 rwhp... Just waiting on my rear 315's... yummy..!!

Robert98 ka-t

[klattr1]

sweet, i wish i was in the 12s!but i will be there soon! muuahaha

[andrave]

dude, 315's... 10"wide wheels? damn.

[Phax]

Im hoping to be in the low 13's with ~250 rwhp... Just waiting on my rear 315's... yummy..!!

Robert98 ka-t

315's?!? I know single turbo Supra guys who aren't even running rear tires that wide. What's the point of going for such a huge contact patch?

[klattr1]

i think it would add to the bada$$ factor. At least other 240sx's coming up from behind on him will know he's got some meat on those wheels for a reason.

[andrave]

completely off topic, but I'd think with performance tires on a 2800 lb car and 315 width... wouldn't that thing be a hydroplaning beast in the wet?

[rn240sx]

Well, the 315 are for several reasons:1- The mean looks..!! When u pull up to a mustang or camaro or whatever it is, and it has 12 inch wide tires in the rear, u dont mess with them...2- I need the traction. I have a torque monster ka-t. I have put on 265's in the rear and still spin up to 3rd gear.3- Im getting those 315's NEW for VERY CHEAP..!! I might as well take advantage.!!4- I wana see the attention i get when i pull up in a240sx with such WIDE *** tires in the rear...

Do either of the cars on the website have a cam, if so it is not listed.

[andrave]

um, if you click on the link it takes you to his page (ryan) and says that he has JWT cams in his list of modifications.

[14.5drift]

nder the hood:

Turbonetics t3/t04e 60 trim compressor .63 ar turbine with stage 5 wheelF-Max exhaust manfold, downpipe with 3" flare transition with steel braided flex pipe inline(ceramic coated) F-Max intercooler and piping(powder coated black along with valve cover) HKS Standard Wastegate .4 bar spring Greddy Type S bov Ross pistons, Crower rods, Jim Wolf cams, stock headgasket internally(.020" overbore, 5 angle valve job, align hone and bore with torque plate) Clutchmaster's stage 4 clutch and stock flywheel Jim Wolf ecu programmed for MSD 72lb injectors and 93 mustang cobra mafs and stock fuel pressure ATPwrap.com inconel turbine heatshield(3000 degrees Farenheit resistant)

Nothin about a jwt cam.

[klattr1]

are u kiddin me?it says it right there in the listing. Jim Wolf cams(JWT=Jim Wolf Technology)I hope you are being sarcastic!

[Structure240sx]

the 1st time i read that i saw the jim wolf cams. then once he siad something i looked over it every time until jsut now. i guess it jsut seems hidden somehow

[andrave]

nder the hood:

Ross pistons, Crower rods, Jim Wolf cams, stock headgasket

Nothin about a jwt cam.

Oh really?

[14.5drift]

Sorry guys I'm not as smart like you. LIke structure said I just scanned over it. OH well. Did you happen to run that cam before the turbo? If so is it worth getting before the turbo or more of a hindrance to the low end.

[klattr1]

i had the cam before the turbo as well. It depends what u mean as a hindrance though. Yes, i did lose some low end torque but horsepower was gained(peak power).I noticed an increase in power obviously in the upper rpms which the stock cams do not promote on the ka. So when I am racing someone on the highway, I would perform better with the cams but when I am drag racing, it kinda bogs down low due to less torque and the obvious turbo lag.I would say the cams are worth it but it all depends on the intent of your car(drag, street, autocross, dyno king).

[14.5drift]

Street or touge, and I only care about the *** dyno.

[andrave]

Joke from last month's SCC:"How do all Supra street racing stories start? 'Well, I was on my way to the dyno when...'"I was rolling on the floor when I read it....lol

[klattr1]

aint that the truth. And also, 800 rwhp supras only running 12s at the track is a disgrace.

[andrave]

well, those 600 lb sub boxes and 30 series sidewalls take their toll...

[hannibal]

Joke from last month's SCC:"How do all Supra street racing stories start? 'Well, I was on my way to the dyno when...'

Good stuff!!

[14.5drift]

aint that the truth. And also, 800 rwhp supras only running 12s at the track is a disgrace.

Is that supposed to be funny or is there really a 800hp supra that can only run 12's? If so how fast does it go in the top end?

[klattr1]

yeah, it happens. Alot of wheel spin. They run 12s at like 130 mph.

[14.5drift]

Whoa, ****ty. 130 is not bad though.

[Structure240sx]

1st time i was at the track with my turbo i talked to a guy there with a t88 supra on drag radials. his best time that night was 12.2. i dont know how much power he was making tho. he did have nitrous on the car but never used it since he bought it like that

[klattr1]

Whoa, ****ty. 130 is not bad though.

its a high trap speed due to their outrageous horsepower, but too much power on indep. rear suspension, no weight transfer and not enough traction will give a crappy time.

[Phax]

Is that supposed to be funny or is there really a 800hp supra that can only run 12's?

There's a joke among Supra owners...

What do 600, 700 and 800 horsepower Supra's have in common?

They all run 12 second quarter miles.

Supra's have big problems getting hooked up. Also, most of the big hp Supra guys are running laggy, single turbo setups. They are great for top end power, but difficult to get spooled going down the 1320.

That's not to say that Supra's can't be fast. During the Sport Compact Drags at Pomona, I saw some 9 and 10 second passes done by Supra's. Those guys were running drag radials and had two step launch control (AEM).
