dan106 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Wouldnt be able to afford JAE, japfest definately seems worth going to as ive never been before, especially with that many starlets in attendance, be good to meet some starlet people. Whats the difference between japfest and japfest 2? Im new to this jap car stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 JF2 is Donington, I prefer it there as it's not as manic as JF1. Also the track is better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Im going to set japfest as my target to get the stance dialled as much as possible, finish off the exhaust get some seats in it, and fix all the niggly bits that are wrong with it, wish me luck!

dan106 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Had a bit of a car day today, luckily my mate who im buying the ats' off came round so i quickly nicked one of the 8's to see how the wheels sit 7j front with 20mm spacer, 8j rear no spacer # So chuffed with how they sit, dont even need to lower it that much more, bit of an arch roll + flare And jobs a gooden! Also locked the keys in it for the second time, now i need a new window trim on the drivers door, and the boot trim above the rear plate, argh! What you think?

TrisK Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That will sit so nice as you bring it down. Although your almost definately going to need an adjustable panhard rod if your going to nail the stance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I cant wait! And i know, think i might try making one on the cheap, cant seem to find any cheap enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I cant wait!And i know, think i might try making one on the cheap, cant seem to find any cheap enoughPeople have taken it off, cut it and welded an adjustable bit in with success. As you need to shorten it as you go lower Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well, handbraking most of the way home from work was fun, but, tickled a lamp post... Luckily only broke the headlight that pointed at the floor, it now sits a bit higher Expert fix! After i did that i went to a mates kwik fit to swap my front wheels back to the ol biscuits, turns out the dont fit over the brakes, then on the way out, this happened So that got swiftly thrown in the bin. quote name="TrisK" post="771659" timestamp="1358327002"] a few people have done it heres one of the ideas here on TGTT http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?50882-DIY-adjustable-panhard-rod-£11.20 and another thread about it http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?99276-diy-panhard-rod Hope that helps mate Will probs give it a go once i see how much of a problem it causes!
