I have some munroe GT gas in the back of my wagon, they were cheap and they're great! made a huge difference!

We put a full set of munroe gt gas in my mums sentra it handles great now!

munroes arn't bad.

Nah just had a worked 5K, not a 5K engine!

Looked real good eh!

You must consider that if you solid mount the gearbox you will also need to solid mount the engine if you want it to pass certification.

Oh crap what is the problem with the thermostat housing? Does it foul the firewall? Do you need to massage the firewall with a hammer?

Get a small commuter bike and you can't go too fast.

A 125 Honda would be ideal, the fuel economy is great, cost about $13 to fill and it gets about 2.5L per 100 kilometer so it's quite economical. In fact it's so cheap to run it's free!

It's not been rose jointed or caged yet as It's still in my garage building the engine and fitting it.

Engines all done, just need to make up a throttlebody gasket and fit the timing belt.

I'll see how it goes around ruapuna with the cut sigma springs it has in it now, I'll probably end up getting some different springs in any case though.

Anyway you can easily work out the spring rate of the chopped springs using maths, but you can't do it on the king springs before you buy them unless the shop has them in stock which I doubt they would so you'd have order them in.

Piss off, at least I know they're stiff, I don't want to go and buy some bloody king springs then find they're real soft as I have experienced king springs to be before.

Hey what other sizes can you get in 13"?

I was looking and theres 195/55 and 205/50 made by dunlop in the sports 9000 range, can you get stuff like these?

But does anyone really know REALLY what spring rate those springs are?

I mean it's not much use if you don't know is it, GOSH!

OK, these guy's obviously arn't being much help.

If you have a 1200 orion series engine you'll need a different engine crossmember, I'd recomend buying a whole 2L RWD sigma for $50 or somthing in rough condition.

Bolt the whole subframe in, including struts and brakes, swaybar etc.

If you keep the original lancer struts for some reason, the front springs are actually the same diameter as the back so you could just use the same as the front in the back.

It's a real easy conversion.

Heres a couple of links which may be of interest.

It gives you a really small wheel though eh?

Yeah, it used to cost me $9 to fill up, now it's more like $13! Woah, thats massive!

It's a pain in the car though, gas is a bit more pricey.

60mpg? Thats real shit eh, my CG gets over 100!

i realise that you grumpy old cunt, but it seems by the way it was said he wouldnt trust anyone else making aftermarket springs either.

Nah I'd recomend bellemy and east, they have way better deals.

As long as the bottom of the spring seats alright, you can just get some top hats to suit. My friend got some out of an AE82 corolla for his starlet.

There is actually one there, you have to go and look for it, he might not have noticed it.

Oh, nah budget is a funny sort of wreckers.

If you ring up, he doesn't have ANY parts, but if you go down there he has it, just go and have a look around.

He does you good deals if you pay him cash too.

Does it have corona/cresida/supra/celica struts in it? The stub axle sticks out on a different angle so you get positive camber.

Get some camber plates and/or adjustable lower arms.

As richard said, why not sift out to budget and have a look.

They recomend you get a ridiculously soft spring rate which you accept as you know nothing about spring rates at that point, not very low, and really uncaptive, and then the powrdercoating comes off in a few weeks leaving you with a rusty soft, high spring.

Maybe clutch systems? Or don't even bother 4K's only have 59-65 horsepower anyway so it probably won't really matter anyway, just rough it up with a bit of sandpaper.

I asked belemy and east in christchurch and they're 180 a pair, chamberlians rip off artist are like fucking 260, what a rip, they're crappy springs too.

yep, very interested, price would be great

It might fit better once you get some RWD 4G63 mounts?

I didn't bother slotting my crossmember, just took up the movement with the rubber bush.

Just get an average one and drive your car up onto some small blocks of wood first.
