Leaf Sprung Fun

[boost+k]

Hey guys im new member round here...

i thought i should post up a build thread for one of my cars, a 2dr ke70 van now sporting a sr20det
was 4k when i got it... soon became 4kturbo with vf10 and suckthro SU, learnt the lesson about rubber seals in turbos and fuel LOL
next it went to vf10 blow through SU, front mount vr4 cooler etc
then it went to 5k (O dish) with vf10, SU at first then started playing with blow throu asain carb
then rebuild it with molly rings, ported head, 272degree cam etc
blew ALOT of diffs and axels and about 8 g/boxes, ended up with hilux 1420mm rear end(standard 1400) and a t40 box, this motor got tired from my bad tuning so slammed a 4k in there with hks manifold and vf10 with smaller front mount and shorter piping and went to a drift day, it didnt last long and melted a hole in no 3
after that i wanted more power and friend had a written off s13 sitting on his lawn he had to get rid of so i gave him $1800 and sold about a $1000 worth of stuff off it and put rest in my wagon

i could keep writing all day but don't have the time

Lol he knows that. He's saying ditch the rear bar and make it flat front.
