Oh BTW just for you Chris. Remember how we were talking about how you can break a shock without proper overextension support? I snapped my Konis messing around with the axle while on the FDstands, before I got the straps in. Modified a brand new set of Tokicos, I happened to have on the shelf, for my old 1968 AMC AMX. Fit like a glove. I can now add AMC to my list of off brand parts on the car.

Dang. . . . FDstands. . . . I WILL CUT YOU

how did they snap? over extended too fast?

GySgtFrank · 08-06-2013, 03:09 PM

No I have limiting straps now. I snapped the shocks while I was waiting for them to make my straps. Just a cautionary tale for those that plan to do major work to their rear suspension, make sure that your shocks are NOT the limiters under extension (or compression either).

you know what other rotary had limiting straps? the 110s cosmo.

What turbo? It's NA you lout.

I have plans eventually, we'll have to see what's viable when I get to that point.

Whizbang · 08-23-2013, 01:39 PM

okay so then you need to put a turbo on it. Then immediately remove that turbo, and install a bigger turbo.

GySgtFrank · 08-23-2013, 01:43 PM

Uhh.. No. I'm not a rich dude like you California types.

Pssh, I grew up in Cleveland. Our turbos came off garbage trucks that took too long loading up in our "hood"

But you're moving to California with all the rest of the rich hipsters.

Going turbo involves ECU and fuel upgrades that I just can't afford right now. I'm trying to get the brakes, suspension, and tires upgraded to take more power. Then I'll be installing a cage and doing chassis reinforcement. Only after the chassis is where I want it, will I start upgrading the fuel system and get a good stand alone ECU, the exhaust is already done other than tweaking it. Then the engine insanity can commence.
