So another little update- Still waiting on a custom V-band for my exhaust. I have tried almost every local diesel shop and automotive performance shop in Montana and I can't find a V-band with an inside apex of .340 or higher. My DP and turbine housing flange lip width is roughly .365 combined with no angle.
I will call ATP turbo tomorrow to see if they can hook me up. I honestly miss the 3 bolt configuration lol. Hopefully my machine shop gets this "fixed" with a trick he knows of.
I have been contemplating what suspension upgrades I want to do this winter. I am looking at a pair of coilovers from BC Racing that a buddy has on his FC in town. He swears it rides better then the Tokico Blue/Tanabe GF210 set up I have(or any other strut/spring combo), I believe it since BC's are rated at 8k F/ 6k R. I need to ride in it.
I am going to install some new black poly bushings and am looking at some aftermarket sway bars BUT have been reading numerous opinions about upgrading the front bar only since the beefy rear bar brings about understeer when racing(I will be racing this pig in the future...I think
) I am still in the air.
As for wheels I have been spying many types and really am overwhelmed to make a good decision. SSR SP-1's are awesome BUT I have loved RE Amemiya AW-7's in 17'' since forever. Work Miesters are fucking wonderful BUT if I want coilovers the Works will be a long time out haha. I think I am leaning more toward the AW-7's then painting the center gloss graphite.
Basically I am getting depressed that winter is coming and I have a 5 month stand still until WOT tuning.
