Low budget...GR2s i guess. Ive heard some pretty good things about them. But personally id rather save up for KYB AGXs.

and do u know any sites that has engine performance parts for the ka engine

 

Basically the hub that attaches your wheels to the car. Can be used to change the lug pattern of your car.

ohhh thnx man i was tryin to figure that out but i didnt know what to do lol do u know what site i can look at to find ka engine performance parts?

i thought wheel hubs were to make ur wheel come out more

 

I think you were thinking about spacers for the wheels.

I cant really think of any sites at the top of my head, give me a few mins and ill remember something

 

aight, i got a question, by the way, usually somebody would flame him for some of those questions. anyways what type of suspension would give your 240 a 'go-cart' feel? superstiff?

 

Just my 2 cents. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

To DoMoKunsToys:
Like others said, start with the suspension mods and stay stock for the rest until you know your car. But you might want to have your brake balanced. That'll help some.

My now-gone '90 240 didn't have it balanced, and my newly-bought '89 did. It feels a whole lot different. Too much front or rear bias braking is not good in the begining coz it tends to upset your car... Anyway, Good luck & enjoy your car.

To lionel:
I'm not sure, I think not necessarily superstiff unless you're on track, but you probably need to go for fully adjustable coil-overs...

 

thnx again guys. umm.... lemme think of more questions lets see..

I was thinking about getting the Tanabe Sustec pro SS2 for my 98, are those good?

roll cage helps alot on stiffining up the car right?

This is what im planning on first stiffining up the car as much as i can with Tanabe Sustec pro SS2,front and rear strut bars,roll cage,rear upper arms,and tie rods
what else do u guys think? does my set up for stiffining up is alright?

my plan is to go auto crossing alot and meanwhile complete getting things for my car for it to be stable and than once i got everything i need to be stable ima move to practicing drifting!

does that sound good?

and what does the spring rate (7kg/6kg) have to do with? what numbers are good? and what diffrence does it make?

 

bump

 

anyone wanna answer my questions

 

Im not the best for this type of question...but ill try answering them

-I havent really heard anything about the Tanabe's, Most people usually go with Tein, JIC or Cusco. But from Tanabe's other products, and there coilovers on other cars ive seen they seem to be greatDoes Tanabe have any locations in the US just in case you need to have the coilovers rebuilt?
-Yea, roll cages help out a lot! You can feel a pretty dramatic difference.
-The upgrades you listed will stiffen your car up quite a lot, but look into upgrading your sway bars as well. Replacing/upgrading your bushings are a good idea too....but its kind of a PITA to do.
-That set up will do good for drifting/Auto X, just gatta make sure you have the right tires now.
-As for spring rates, for 240s you will almost always want a softer spring in the front (6kg, 7kg etc...)then in the rear(8kg, kg etc...) Spring rate is the amount of weight needed to compress that spring. As for good spring rates...6/7 is good 8/10 is good...but the higher you go the harder of a ride it is(for daily driven roads)

Well i tried explaining it...hope it helped you

 

yea u explain very good my friend thank you like my faces? how bout this one :¨ˆ lol

mainly i just wanna get my stability down and later on when i really get used to my car to the point i dont have to try to control it, thats when i wanna start drifting

anymore hints on things i should know about? anything! im trying to learn the most! thank you!

 

oh yea after the stabalizing or during the process of doing it i wanted to upgrade my spark plugs and wiring,and a lil bit of ka engine upgrades,anyone?



must learn more from u people! feed me info!
