i think we all know whos bar that is ......and i think i know what most have to say about i.....garbage.

 

thanks for the info... i was just getting ready to search about this. so for best handling on my 2.2 i can use the hardcore bar and the ss/tc front sway and have great handling? or is it more complex than that?

 

Bars alone are not the ultimate; you need shock damping and springs. So the ultimate imho would be to add Pedders springs and TC struts/shocks with that sway bar combo, and some OTTP cabs....

 

i actually have tc struts/shocks and sportlines... i cant use the bushings unless i can find some fe5 control arms cheap.

 

You are almos there; and its true; its hardly worth the effort to make an insert for the steel flca. Why dont you search for some used ones? New alloy flca are not that expensive if you have gone to that expense and trouble...

 

well i needed new struts so i put those on instead of new 2.2 ones. the springs were on 2 weeks after i bought the car but i think you would sell quite a few of the 2.2 bushings since there are so many of us going tc and sc. my stock ones are about gone and im still with basic bolt ons. i have been watching on here and ebay for the lca but have yet to find some reasonable. but another question... is the hardcore bar overkill for a dd that wants better handling?

 

If you do not change the front bar from stock, the 1.0 will give you great balance as the FE1-3 front bar is small enough to help with very good turn in. So save your money changing to the bigger front bar. The caveat is the single bolt and tab fixing for the front bar on FE1-3 is a pita and will yield...

 

Another good one John. Appreciate you spilling the beans...

 

Just saw this thread. Two thumbs up to John. Awesome write-up. On the hunt for LNF suspension components as well to continue my makeover hehe

 

look no further got stuff (knuckles etc) you want email will work....Oh i remember you need a bleeder too

 

Great write-up
Keep up the awsome work
Always Quality>Price people
Get what you pay for

 

thanks. the pirates 4 x 4 and nissan ser sites are good for tech stuff I quoted from

 

John you should do a write up on the engine, tranny, etc... mods done to the Time Attack and Koni cars

 

I am doing springs and bars next for livewire. The time attack was a dry sumped diamond piston stock cams.timing gears stock everything else motor with a tvs style hi helix M62 and griffin racing h/e and dual pass option B with GMR head ferrara valve springs and nitrous. 3 inch exhuast straight back.
An ice bath tank was built by myself and tried but failed practically. works great for bonneville the lsr cars weigh 5000 lbs
the Koni cars were bone stock with said Griffin h/e and option B. Not even a header, 3 inch ex pipes followed stock routing, but were deleted for stock exhaust in 2006 (rules makers)

 

thats reminds me john.... your first statement sounds a bit familiar lol.

 

John arent you building a couple LNF cobalts for the gran prix cup?

 

Bleeder and Option B brackets. Give me info on LNF suspension please. Also thinking dual-pass

Email to talk, stuck at home due to work injury
