Iggy's "onto the next one" 86 Hatch, CA20ET, FD ProAm Dreams

watch for my friends. one is in a white 240 coupe with 2jz and silvia front his name is kasey kohl and my friend in a truck240sx with silvia front and ls1

I love your car man, I have always been more partial to that look...wider rims, no body kit, not too stupidly low, still streetable.   So awesome to see a ca20 that can prove it's worth at the track :)

IggyEGuana on 08:54:43 PM / 28-Mar-13i havent driven in it yet. but just sitting in it i can tell that the big ass side bolsters need to go. its very secure but its a hassle too. if i was taller or they didnt go as high it wouldnt matter as much. i bent them inward so my arms go outside of them. the seat seems to hold me in place really well but my movement is restricted a lot. I'm pretty sure that i'll cut them down to be more like a normal racing seat. its a drag seat so they really dont expect you to move your arms much

Today was great. The car felt awesome all morning and I got a lot of good runs in. Too many actually cuz I killed brand new tires in less than 2 hours. But I got consistant on the course. We had to run and get 2 more new tires and hope to be back before qualifying started. we got back just before they started to grid up. All I could do on the new tires was take em to the skidpad and scuff them. My 2 qualifying runs were not on par with how good i was in practice but I still got a score. Only 53.4 not good enough to make top 16 but I had a blast and met my goal of just getting a score this time. the course was awesome. I have a bunch of videos. they are pretty much all the same but i'll get them posted. it takes forever for them to upload to youtube.

Great day,  man,  great day.  When I got there,  you were out getting tires,  and I had to split after the qualifying round.  I saw the Recaro chairs and laughed my ass off.  That is fuckin MINT.  Haha, great first run,  awesome entry speed, that CA20 turbo really gets the car flying! 

I made a GIF of your spin-out in your second attempt,



And some more pics for shits and gigs

Looking good out there man! Glad you achieved your goal to set a score.

IggyEGuana on 09:42:37 PM / 30-Mar-13

yes that is my sev6 lol

haha awesome. i didnt even see you there jeremy

Next round is June 1st. the goal is to put down a qualifying score that matches what I'm capable of in practice. I believe that I can put down a score of 70-75 even with only 185hp. If i had done my best in qualifying and scored a 71 or higher I wouldve made the top 16

Iggy have you heard about the drift track that's being built in lovelock?

touge sierra guys.

ya i have it on fb

Man some grate drifting there. Keep up the work your good

You gunna come out when it's done

thanks

idk. Lovelock is really far. just have to wait and see where life is by that time

ok guys! rear camber/toe fix coming in the next couple weeks.





I thumbed thru old threads about the topic and laughed at how easily everyone gave up and said "live with it"

This is going to be the end-all, fix-of-fixes, sweet baby Jusus at last, fix. Its all about the inner leg of the trailing arms. Subframe remains untouched. And it wont be a bandaid camber "reduction". I'm talking about ZERO toe and ZERO camber if u want it
Post Merge

What size and offset are your rear wheels?  :nerdystraight:

Let me know I will love to give it a try on my SE.

Ill take some if ur makin em complete camber and toe adjustments sound great!

15x8 -10 on the rear
15x7 0 for the front

thanks guys. i'm excited to build it. I'm confident it'll work really well

I can't wait to see the end product. Even though I will likely just end up living with it lol

Did you see my idea on the camber/ fix

ya but urs isnt FD legal. I know it doesnt really matter right now but if i want to drive the car in FD or ProAM Nationals I have to comply. Cant relocate the suspension pickup points. that includes adding new ones.

ya inner leg is the longer of the two

Interested to see this. From what I have read is that the subframe must remain unmodified but control arm are free to mod. Yes my subframe is modified but only because I had different plan for it to begin with, Now if I put in a oem subframe my control arms should bolt up just fine and comply with FD rules

Stop teasing us and show/tell us what you are planning :P I'm dyin' here!

Basically i'm sectioning the inner leg of each trailin arm and adding three adjusters. the adjusters are right hand thread on one end and left hand thread on the other. they'll allow me to "bend" the inner leg and correct the camber. Also adjust toe with them outside the factory toe adjustment. its hard to explain and i'm not a MS Paint artist so no diagram but you'll see when the progress pics go up.

Sounds like a good idea....so if all goes well would you be interested in making more?

I'll follow this camber fix experiment. That sound interesting. Keep up the good work!

If nothing else, please take pics as you go so we can duplicate. Sounds like a promising and relatively simple fix.

what's the inner tie rods for?

thanks guys. I'm optimistic this will be a long term fix. I might mod some arms if the arms are supplied but i'd rather just document and explain it well enough that you guys can do it yourselves.

Gary the inner tie rods are just to replace mine. i got mine from the junkyard and my drivers side has a little more play now than i like. plus the old ones will be track extras

New brand is launched!

we want moar! lol good stuff, if this is simple enough im deff going to be doing it.

started to finish it today but the jam nuts dont fit the adjusters. Its looking rough for keeping this mod affordable the adjusters were cheap but theres no nuts to fit them. adjusters that are more commonly used in custom suspension (for circle track cars) are about $25 each. times 6 is at least 150 bucks. way too much to keep this affordable.  working on the solution

Have you check McFaddens ?

i was at McFaddendale's today. as well as Mead's, Nevada Bolt, and Charleston Auto Parts just in case they had it. The problem is the adjusters are M18x1.5 which is an odd size. M18 isnt commonly used and 1.5 is fine pitch for that size so if you find M18 its less likely to be in 1.5 thread pitch. But thats not the toughest part. Half of the 24 nuts I need have to be LEFT HAND THREAD. The only place in town that even carries left hand metric is McFaddendale's and their stock only went up to M10.

Anyway the reason i wanted to use these adjusters was because I was able to get them for cheap on RockAuto for about $3 each and they are a high quality OE fitment part. Hardened steel etc. Not a junk part.

I found some adjusters online that will fit the jam nuts I have. Theyre used for suspension fabrication just like the nuts so its all the same standard of 5/8" -18 and theyre about $6 each. A huge improvement over $25 each for the ones on Speedway Motors. Theyre ordered and hopefully i will finish the new arms next monday/tuesday.

It will be an investment to get able to be adjusted.

I hope u finish this man. I drift big time right now and it would be nice for some adjustment lol

Try Fastenal http://www.fastenal.com/web/home.ex.  A quick search for "M18" returned both direction nuts in 1.5 thread.  They also sell taps for both thread directions.  Worst case you could always try making your own.  It might be cheaper in material but I know your time is worth $$ so maybe it would still be cost prohibitive in the long run.  Then again, making your own you can leave them square instead of hex and make one direction metric and one direction a close standard size.  then no matter what tools a person has they can always get the job done.  Might be worth the extra effort to save a future headache in the pit where seconds can count.

Seems like someone who has spare rear arms might have to sell them to another someone so they can do this without downtime *cough* *cough*

Ya i was going to say fastenal or grainger they got everything
