thanks for the education :D

oh ok, that making some sense now.. so whats the advantage of using an IL over a more conventional setup?

fore/aft as in inside of the car to outside of the car? side to side if looking at the car from the front or behind? I'm assuming this is what you're talking about as the bushings aren't arranged correctly for front to back motion... there are plenty of other cars (well I can think of only one...

can someone explain how the whole vertical link thing works? it seams to me like it just adds weight and complexity... I don't see how the suspension would move any differently if the vertical link wasn't there and the lower control arm just connected to the hub at the bottom

are you talking about this? http://mustangirs.com/products.php I don't like how they arranged the upper control arms on that... doesn't seam to have much camber gain, if any, on compression... almost looks like the kinda suspension that belongs on the back of a fwd car

any update on the possibility of swapping the IRS into the S197 chassis?

you can see his diff bouncing like mad in this vid at launch... maybe that had a hand in breaking something...

1 hour install time? is there something to this I'm not seeing?

I want a "live axle" like that...

thanks for the schooling guys... is this also the reason my rear swings to the left when I do a brake stand burnout at the track?

so ummm... the thread makes it sound like you just gave him all this stuff for free...? if thats the case

well thats a shame... anyway, the main reason I'm getting the steeda tune is for the higher redline and to get rid of the stock "soft" rev limiter, go for a more normal kinda rev limiter... I noticed the stock soft rev limiter will cut power into the next gear if I touch it, not good for drag...

so excuse the n00b, but earlier in the thread I saw something about "swaybar for drag racers" how exactly is a big rear swaybar helpful in a drag car? especially a live axle drag car? not trolling or anything... genuinely looking to get schooled on the subject...

yeah, thats too bad... I'll prolly make it out to Bremerton 1 time this year and thats it... I'm ordering a Steeda intake and tune today so I wanna see how much it improves... if any...

they did the whole keep you in the pits thing when I went there on a weekend, but last wednesday (and everyother TNT I've been there when I had my 350Z a few years ago) they just let everyone line up in the staging lanes...

The trick is to go on Wednesday's test n tunes... I was there this past Wednesday and got 6 runs from 5-9 purposely sitting out a few rounds to let the car cool down... And there were quite a few breaks that they had to stop and clean up. If I went for maximum runs I prolly could have gotten...

I'm not a fan of wasting peoples time with calls unless I'm planning to buy in the near future...

Well I managed a couple 12.5's on stock tires... the only power mod is a Kooks catback so far... I know the biggest limiting factor is grip, but I like a challenge :D btw, I have a manual, so no converter mods for me... not planning to do cams either, only stuff I can do without...

Any plans to go to Pacific Raceways anytime in the near future? It'd be interesting to see you run and check out your car... My goal is also to hit 11's, but with a manual and street tires (and NA without opening up the engine)... not sure if it'll happen, but that's the goal... That's also...

can you direct me to some info on the rev auto strengthening? I've googled but all I can find is people talking about that they do rebuilds...

I have a stock shifter (I don't like very short throws) with the Barton 2 post bracket, this replaces the bracket.

Well... Looks like I gotta throw away that Barton 2 post... Although I think I'll wait for some independent reviews just to be safe...

have you run again with the 2-pc in better conditions? also curious, have you run with street tires at all?
