Re: Question for LSD guru
It hooks up better and makes the car turn better. Both allow me to spin up the inside wheel if I am running too much rear swaybar, though, so if you're expecting spool-like lockup, you're not going to get it. Doesn't that mean your LSD isn't working? You're not supposed to just spin the inside whee...

Re: Godspeed/eBay parts VS OEM parts.
brands like Godspeed and Speed Daddy are just not that great unless you're on a budget. Wrong. Those brands are crap regardless if you're on a budget or not.

S13 Full Coilovers for sale
I bought these to convert them for AE86 usage. You can either use S13 front arms and sindles or you can weld these onto an AE86 spindle. Or just use them on an S13. They come with s13 camber plates (tein) and rear Cashiew spherical bushing top mount for rears (cashiew) http://pic20.picturetrail.com/...

Re: 4AGE to W58 Bellhousing
Generally, you need the front half of an automatic W58 supra equipped driveshaft with the rear half for the AE86. Or it could be the other way around. You'll also need to get a custom clutch made with the spline count for the W58 but the diameter of whatever flywheel you're using. You can use the st...

Re: Racing Brake Pads
We have the same taste in brakes! I like Hawk Blue a lot, mostly because its a medium bite compound and modulation is really easy. However, if you want more "bite" like it sounds like you're asking for, I'd try Raybestos ST-43. I had those and in my opinion they have "too much" b...

Re: Coil over reviews?
"Megan, BC, Ksport," are not necessarily "reputable" companies. They are all Chinese/Taiwanese as well. Buying a pre-packaged coilover setup is easy, but to get something quality its my opinion that you have a quality welder/fabricator and use any of the shocks I mentioned above....

Re: Red Death Revival: Beams
I love your build man. Just a note though, mounting the temp sensor on a sandwich block that goes under the exhaust manifold made the sensor show the wrong temp readings. The aluminum heats up and heats the sensor. It was always way higher than it actually was.

Re: Coil over reviews?
Just so you know, most of the Chinese/Taiwanese companies do not RnD on their coilovers, so more than likely you're getting valving from whatever other coilover their AE86 offering is based off of. Could be an S13, Soarer, Jeep, Its anybody's guess. They're fine for street driving/cruising, going lo...

Chinese radiators are pretty. The only problem is, you won't know if its crap until a year or two down the line, or after a hard session at the track when it cracks. Its so cheap that you could always replace it with another. Its a gamble, but your call. As with all Chinese parts, you have to rememb...
