Welcome back Dan. Fantastic looking RS mate!

we're doing a cruise out to the Jenolan Caves in a few weeks if ya feeling like driving up

[Hypnotic]

Heya Dan, good to see you over here aswell.

The RS looks awesome.

[dja]

Thanks guys.
I wont have a rear end after sunday unfortunately, for about 6-8 weeks, as soon as the 2 pallets of parts i have ordered turn up, this thing will be alot faster, harder, better. So no cruise, but one after that no worries, you can all get to see what a asshat i am :0

Thnx for the positive comments, and yes, it hauls ass, and covers alot of bases, the new engine, turbo, headers etc etc etc at 25psi should also provide a bit more go juice

Ill keep you updated on the progress.

Cheers....Dan

[Richo]

[Delete This Account]

Your thinking of my old one the charcoal one is better in every way(execpt interior, the recaro is tits though)

[Alex]

hai dan.

gimme your sixslotter already!

oh. and your wheels.


thanks.

[dja]

Ive told you at least 10 times, you have no need for a 6 speed.
4.444 5 speeds are tough, just use clutches(why do you think i have a box of spare clutches sitting around?)

[Richo]

SO what goodies are on the 2 pallets of stuff

[dja]

SO what goodies are on the 2 pallets of stuff

just alot of stuff for both my cars

Ill update when its all on, and working

Hey Dan, very tidy ride.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other tricks you pull out of that bag of yours.
Tell me about the Swift springs. Did you run the standard 6kg front and 5kg rears on the Tiens before you changed over, and are the 8kg front and 6kg rear perceptibly harder.
And if you don't mind sharing, how much per pair?

First, thanks mate, i spend alot of time researching my mods, then throwing my time, tools and income at the thing.

The swifts are a much firmer ride, they react considerably better to the valving the adjustable flex's give. the ride difference is "similair" to the lower rate springs, but keep in mind this is as close to registered track car as i have been, so i intend it to be rock solid, basically a point and shoot(correct for oversteer) machine.

if your thinking coilovers try the 6/5's that come with flex's, and if you want more, then upgrade.

Swift springs are between 600/1000 for a set of 4, US conversion, and time of purchase/outlet dependant.

[fatcat67]

Thanks for the reply.
I have a set of super streets in my Gen1 sedan ATM hence my question.
fairly pricey, but they must be good.
Are you looking at a capacity increase with your next range of upgrades?
This thread reminds me to update mine.

[dja]

Honest opinion, get a set of Tein flex, ride height, spring rate, rebound/damper adjustable.
they own superstreets, then if there not enough, research what springs you want, and what you want out of them.(im assuming you have done all the other suspension mods also here, im almost done, by new years, there will be no less then 6 new components, which are all upgrades added, theni think im out of stock components to change)
I cant fault the swifts.

Capacity increase, nah, the new motor should be running no less then 20psi, upto about 26psi, 2litres is enough, this thing is pretty quick as it is.

I couldn't find a set of Flex's second hand when I was looking around unfortunately.
I bought the whiteline catalogue from Mick(Datman), who is a great bloke.
Are you going to change any of the rubber bushes as that is all I have left to do as well?
If so I'd love a heads up on cheap bits.
