i would like front and rear subframe and control arms. double wishbone suspension is nice if we can find out the way to make it work on our cars. i'm sure if you make tube fron subframe you can adopt sla in there also. Evos have struts like ours though and they roll the tracks.
But would they be any better than stock, hotter spark or higher kv output? it not worth doing if its not an upgrade. maybe something with msd cop or accel.Quote:

unfortunately not something I can look into, I'll probably just go the Eclipse's COP that it comes with (I've more or less got a MIVEC engine coming along) be keen to look at upgrading that system down the track though if/when someone comes up with a hardcore but discrete COP system (if MSD HAS to be done then so be it)
Just use stock coils and a HKS Twin Power DLI and hide the unit. Looks stock then.Quote:

This is some pretty sweet stuff i actually mite be interested in the solid bushings depending how much stiffer/solid the car feels
Mark is definately the mann for some fabrication he's a baddass
Too badd he cant keep up with me in some c.o.d tho..
You wish i OWN You!!! lol.Quote:

I will be doing something different than that one i modified for you. I can still do those for that need their stock ones repaired just send me your pump and stock fuel hose. Those would be $125 for those not looking to upgrade their pump. its a direct bolt on with stock fitting going the line on the bottom of the car. Just as you see his picture.Quote:

Made from ss or aluminum i haven't decided that yet. i believe ss is my leaning option. will post up pics as soon as i get started on it.
What's the SS vs Alu go with fuels? I know Earls suggested Aluminium lines for me...
would it be impossible to get an aluminium one that takes the stock level sensors & has 2 pickups for external pumps?
Yes i can, but most external fuel pumps require sumping a tank, not siphon tubes.Quote:

Either Stainless Steel or Aluminum. Im really leaning toward the stainless one. Smaller welds and stronger material when thin. Plus no rust.:p
Also if you guys could spread the word on the fab parts. that would be great. After x-mas we will see what lists are the longest and start on making the parts and pricing.
I would assume that you could use an external pump with the stock pickup? this is the direction I'm more or less heading in? stock pump would cavitate and drop to 0 pump pressure on air pickup as well surely?
the way you are talking about, they dont recomend it. because the pumps are not suction pumps just turbine pumps. you can use a stock style in tank fuel pump and a bosch o44. but that really still is restricted on the first pump. i does help say a 255lph pump flow more like 280 or so. but at some point the first pump is a restriction. that is why im doing one, two, or three in tank pumps.Quote:

Sure you loose a little do to having it upgraded. but that way you only pay for the upgrade as needed.
I assume your referring to priming issues? the Weldon 2015-A(one to start.. a second down the track if I really have issues) I'm looking at is self priming, I'm assuming your worried about getting air in the line?
I understand what your working towards don't mean to be a pain in the arse :)
look at the directions, they still want a sumped gas tank.
Michael,
As long as the pick up tube is properly positioned, my fuel pump can lift up and out of your fuel tank. Be careful to not route the return fuel flow back into the “bucket area” and also use a 40 micron WEQ1040CLN before the fuel pump to prevent contamination to the fuel pump. Sure, if the pump is below the fuel level and fed from a sumped area the pump would operate more “freely” – but with my pump’s capabilities this is not an absolute necessity. There are many offroad and roadracing teams that position the pump exactly as you plan to and they all “lift” up and out of the cell. Now, if the pump is placed more than 8 – 10 inches above the top of the tank, a one-way check valve on the outlet side would be ideal to prevent the back-flow of fuel into the tank.
Good Luck and if you have any other questions, please call or email

So my general plan is 75micron filter bag on the pickup's, 10Micron before pump, 6 micron before injectors. (been the plan since day 1)
anyhow none of that really matters, but if you can make a good light twin 8an end to end hanger I'll be in :) if possible some 90 degree bends with a nice radius out of the top but you know what your doing.
early in the new year i will take a roll cage and then later on in the year a subframe and lower control arms
Put me on the 4 channel ABS list.
according to the Australian laws a Diagonally split ABS system means your not allowed to change anything with your rim/tyre size/offset as it introduces unpredictable effects... no way I'm getting defected because of ABS not being happy and it's illegal to remove it.
the other guys looking at ABS might want to figure out why there might be an issue...it would probably convince more people.
Not interested in doing abs stuff. But your fuel pump hanger i can make you.
OH sorry the ABS was for another thread :)
let me know when you get near some of this stuff, I'm probably 2 months out from putting $$$ down on the fuel hanger itself.
Remote IAC blocks :)
Or just one. haha I need one.
send me your stock i can modify it to be remote. Ive already done mine and davids. Looking at $65 to mod it.Quote:

Comes with on-off switch for resetting on track and warning/diagnostic LED, and complete electrical harness. Porsche GT3 guys like this system to get rid of the troublesome PASM. Everyone is Grand Am is using it now, basically. I can get you a non-motorsport flashed system with used hardware for less, but I will not make your hardlines for you, you are on your own for that. Liability issue. Unless you want a complete soft line system.Quote:

cmon guys your getting a little out of hand, lol.
I might be after u for some single turbo manifolds and downpipe and remainder of the exhaust. I might sell my ips ones since I don't want to cut/mod them to adapt to a more street friendly setup. All V bands from the turbo back, no stupid bolts/gaskets!
Would want identical placement as ips(or abouts) to allow gravity oil drain and would work with my air/water ic setup which lives where the stock battery was and is directly affixed to the throttle body. But would absolutely need recircd wastegates, which the current setup I have is all wrong for that and being already coated not worth redoing it all again.

show me a picture of your underhood. Also what intake do you have?Quote:

Got a phone number? I'm limited to internet use on my droid, too long to type out all the small details.

AH-HA! This is the reason why I don't see you anymore on AIM! :)Quote:

was thinking the other day...
some sort of slimline number plate holder that uses the OEM bolt spots (for the front) ? the plastic thing takes up a whopping amount of space with something like 1" of overshoot top and bottom..?
is there a time frame for this? or ETA?
will start after this week, on designs. Why what did you need?Quote:

I'm going to have to put my wish list on hold for a little while, since the VR4 just decided to roundhouse kick my wallet for twice the amount I thought it was going to.
how about a replacement brake shield that allows for brake ducting?
