Tercel-R Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They're not adjustable if you want to lower your car though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mitchracer Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I was also wondering this as I got everything ready to make an adjustable panhard rod like thishttp://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?50882-DIY-adjustable-panhard-rod-%A311.20But couldn't find the bar which looked like this, are ep82 and ep91 standard rods the same?

Jamie5414 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That looks very rough if you ask me mate, You can pick up a second hand adjustable one in the marketplace for cheaper if you don't want to buy/pay new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 that one you posted looks fine, only issue is you have to disconxt one end to adjust... but its not like your going to need to tweek it every other day. so its fine.Mine is made kinda the same way, allthough i used the pressed type panhard rod, welded a tube into it for strength, then used some threaded bar. its easily strong enough, i twatted a barrel sideways and the axle didnt budge. if you can weld, then go for it. it will cost you pence rather than £100.

Gainzy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Buy cheap buy twice for the sake of a new RSR one from Japan with new bushes looking around £130 if that, definately get one then you can adjust the rear set up for a nice even balance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 or if you have the skills, make your own and save loads of cash... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The thing is the adjustment should be made on the car to push the wheels out for the correct alignment using a proper alignment system by the time you buy the poly bushes there's a quarter of a tried n tested lighter rod, if people want to save money might aswell buy a corsa there is no cheap better way around a great peformance car it's an important part of good handling so I don't understand why people cut corners where has the respect gone for the jdm parts.

Mitchracer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The way I see it, I like to get involved with my car, seeing exactly how things work and make a difference, yes everybody can buy a part which is already made and get a garage to fit it but what have you learnt from doing that? It's not about cutting corners it's about making something different to what everybody else has on their cars.The saving money is just an added bonus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great parts are at price's for a good reason safety reasons to... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I use a proper alignment system, its called string and a tape measure. Works fine.Whats the point in spending loads of cash if you can make it yourself, and once its ajusted once, thats it for most cars ou there on the road.Mines on a race car, i have about 80hp at the wheels, and can keep up with cars more than double the power... how? handling... so my hacked up parts i have made in the garage must be doing ok? If i had bought all the parts, or paid for someone else to make them, then the car would have cost me 5 times as much!!!! fuck that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 EP82 have the less Wobbly rod type one, whereas the 91s have the hollow floppy one lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 the hollow pressed type can be made seriously strong by either capping it off, or welding a tube in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
