Ok guys.. I need help!


I'm having some horrible front inner tire wear. I have to stich them from side to side at like 5-6000 kms! My car is dropped and I drove I a lot during summer (10000km or more) and it's stored during winter. So it does cost me a lot on tire. I'm doing to raise the front a littlllee bit but I don't want to raise it to much as it would be ulgy to me. I've got my car aligned and it does have around 1.5 degrees of camber in the front.



At the point I am, the only way I think I can help my car with my front tire wear is with less bump steer. For example, the rear as approximatively the same camber setup as front, but tire last longer!


I've seen other member way much more dropped than me on CL and I've search for CL member that installed aftermarket Tie Rods like megan racing or Battle Version.


Does it Worth it? I seem like I can "drop" the tie rod end turning point on the knuckle like only half an inch! Is that enough?

Hey guys!

I'm about to wrote a whole new chapter soon. I'm, for now, taking all my spare time to get me car ready for summer (like... july maybe!)

I've run into a trouble in september at the ICAR Drag Strip in Mirabel, QC, Canada. Was there with supraquebec car group comunity, and have trouble in my 6th run that night. car run weird after. Came back with it home and diagnostic it.

Melt #5 piston... well.. I'm not lucky.. again. FU**!!!!

Seems like the injector wasn't doing is job correctly, to eventually fail, as the spark plug too (exploded)

So, we get the 2jz out a disassemble it in pieces! It cost me the same to rebuilt it then to bought a used one, and after that, at least I'll know exactly the condition of my 2jz!! And, well I'm there, I'm changing something here and there, changing the configuration of the intercooler piping, oil relocation kit and oil cooler, removing a lot of things, replacing the serpentine tube of the powersteering for a 12x5 inch cooler, ducting everything to max the air effect on all the coolers, removing the A/C, repaint everything, etc etc etc!

Oh did I mantionned I'm going single?

Well! You gonna have picture! Soon!
