Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
The wheels don't excite me too much, but if they're light-weight 17's they'd probably be worth it. Then the ZQ8s could go on the blazer.

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
screw you guys...i'm going home. i've actually changed my mind...not a surprise i know. haha I still like the SLP 3rd gen ZR1 wheels (17x8 all the way around) $600 for a set of 4. ![]() But i also recently found where they make deep dish ZR1 wheels, in silver. (17x9.5 - 17x11) $400 + spacers ![]() drop leafs are installed, shocks i ordered are on backorder, so i still have the air shocks on. even with the wrong shocks the truck rides much better and seems help plant the rear during turning.

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
they are $600 from SLP and this month they have free shipping which saved me about $100 in shipping. A good friend of mine that works at a Nissan dealership ordered the Nittos for me at $92 each. $390 total. cheapest i could find online was like $116 and those were on sale. |

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
Thanks for the suggestion on the tiburon seats, i'll have to look into them. Another good seat that I sat in was the Recaros that come in saturn ion redlines. they would be hard to find i'd imagine. |

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
I see, well the setback plates reduce the rake by 3/8". I thought you didn't put those back in with the drop leafs though.

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
They keep the drive shaft out of the rear transmission seal when you add blocks. It moves the rear axle back 1/2".

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
^ wut he said.
installed a tranny cooler the other day and raced another auto-x. ![]() ![]() ![]() here's some pics from the auto-x, i was first in FSP...but was the only competitor in the class. lol Vid coming soon, gotta put it together. Truck handled pretty good with the new setup, there was some minor wheel hop on corner exit sometimes, nothing major. Biggest issue for me was the understeer at corner entry and the awful shift response from the 4l60e...if the trans would kick down when i need it...the truck would run much faster. As you can tell from the pics, the pavement had a bunch of gravel and sand on it, making it loose...and fun! With the vette servo, when the truck would hit 2nd, it would break the tires loose and even with the 2.2 i got to have some fun with power oversteer. I honestly think the rear setup if fine, minus the open diff, but the front needs some work. basically the truck ride the stops in the turns... anyone have any input on the QA1 Carrera coilover setup for street/auto-x use? or do you think just a set of adj shocks could help some? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget
I was planning on mounting some sticky tires on the zq8's but I was recently laid off from my job so that kinda put a halt to any plans i have right now. |
