Jozinobi Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Will add some supplemental updates tonight people.Main update can't go ahead until two more components have been added.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 MayDay Whiteline Upgrade UpdateI've always dreamt of these parts when I first got the starlet and no way did I think it would ever happen.Whiteline Front 22mm Anti Roll Bar & Whiteline Anti Lift/Castor KitWhiteline Rear 3 Way Blade Adjustable Anti Roll Bar - set on mediumCloser pics of both sides of the frontI've always thought that although coilovers and strut braces are great, there still seemed to be much room for improvement.After getting these components from the recent group buy my suspension quest has finally ended. These were the missing part of the puzzle.The car has been transformed even more so into a go kart state, and it is not for the faint hearted.There are uprated polyurethane bushes all round as you can see and make the car uber stiff and seriously planted to the road.You can turn much more harder and true and you have to be much more precise with your steering otherwise you could oversteer.Overall very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend these to proper handling enthusiasts. Some decent tyres next will see the boundary being pushed on how well an ep can handle on fast road and later on the track.Let the fun begin Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 man that whiteline kit is some nice gear, must be good to look under n see that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thanks for the comments.They make a really good noticeable difference and change the handling characteristics of the car drastically.You will definitely notice it. As well as looking good underneath, they ultimately serve their purpose Coupled with everything else I have on, the suspension setup is now finally complete.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 MayDay Steering and Gearing Upgrade UpdateI have always wanted an aftermarket steering wheel and I got myself this nice little number. I also managed to source a jdm ep91 specific boss kit from yahoo auctions that was made specifically for airbag cars, it allows the horn to be hooked up properly and fit better too. There is also a universal snap-off boss kit on there as well to heighten the driving experience. Also wanted a less bulky gearknob so went for a cylindrical one JAM Racing stylee.Replica Bride 320mm Steering Wheel & twin boss kitsCylindrical Gear KnobThanks for waiting for my updates people, at least you know they are worth waiting for!, There is more to come soon...Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks for the comments guys!@Sime - My mechanic said the anti-lift kit was a handy enough job. I would get a rear one as well as the trd front mate to balance everything, don't want it too front heavy.@kevink - Thanks man, Im trying my best for n/a ep91 Do your best too! More evil updates to come soon.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Awesomeness on a stick, that's some funky stuff right there! Finally reached the point where your suspension can be improved no further, a point where I'm sure very few n/a owners have reached, if any at all before you As have said before the new steering wheel is gorgeous, and is practical too (airbag etc) so all is groovy.Isn't there an update you're still missing? ?

Jozinobi Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 @MJ - MEH!!! lolThanks for your comments mate I have actually lost the airbag, its just the boss kit fits the whole thing better.Will post the big update soon as I can.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
