PM or email members and ask them what the car was like to ride in, did it chew out tyres, rip the tyres on the guards, destroy the handling.... keith- -------------------- The Girl's KE70- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42407-the-girls-ke70/ How NOT to build a rally car- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/64027...ld-a-rally-car/

He said the Targa setting just don't let the tyres do their work on the track, and you can't run a rally on circuit setups. -------------------- The Girl's KE70- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42407-the-girls-ke70/ How NOT to build a rally car- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/64027...ld-a-rally-car/

Greek adonis mate! Group: VIP Member Posts: 96 Member No.: 544 Joined: 21-December 05	I put the HKS ones in today and they are far softer. OMG my Teins have racing grade springs. No wonder I keep breaking my spine on every bump. The HKS are perfect for the road. -------------------- Got King Kong in the trunk?

I raced my Altezza a few weeks ago and it had 20kg front and 16kg rear springs the thing was horrible, I race in Improved prioduction, the car was so nervous you could not get power down or the fron to turn..... I am shocked at some of those rates. i was looking for a guide on where to start, but no I am more confused.

ENJ2 Group: VIP Member Posts: 202 Member No.: 6,132 Joined: 27-April 10	Hey Looking at the graph above, how do i know which ones these are? They are TRD Sportivo 48510-SE and then can't see the rest. Wanna know its height and damper and would it be weird to change only the front susp and not the bac? Seller believes its the SXE-10 ones, but where do you get the info to find out? Cheers YoyoZ -------------------- Yoyo2
