yep, you can probably make one fit, but it would look kind of silly as your only cf

On another note, i got my car back for good today. Ran great, no check engine lights, gave a mean growl with the new IM and TB, and i got to run a 328i on my way back which i slingshotted and then peaced on lol.

lol it was some black dude in a white 328i, he was behind a car that was behind me, and i took off on that car and slowed down so he came around and came up on me to my left. Saw him coming, so i downshifted to 3rd and waited till he was next to me. i hit it when he got next to me and i was maybe a car behind cuz he had momentum, then i started pulling massively. He looked over, looked down at his speedometer, looked over again and just stared as i drove off LOL.

Nice haha.

You know what i'm thinking would be fun, a couple days before I swap my motor in the future, run the f22 with 100 shot... be a waste of money but it'd be fun as fuck.

I am. But I can't order it just yet. I have to see how the turbo kit fits first. I have to make sure none of the piping will hang lower than usual keeping me from fitting the splitter on.

I'm also going with canards, and a custom rear difusser. (the rear difusser will only be attempted if I keep my job, otherwise the money will be used to live off of till I feel like working again)

nice, going all out aerodynamics. how are you going for a rear diffuser? i would get an s2000 diffuser and trim the rear bumper to fit it in.

neither, just spend the extra money for coilovers, trust me you will be happier. dont get pro kit no matter what, throw a couple swamp donkeys( fat chicks for ya old guys) in the back and you got an equal drop, worthless in my mind. sportline would be better, but i still dont think its low enough. adjustability is priceless, well not priceless, but definately worth the extra money, your gonna be paying for struts anways right?

yes, i was looking at the kyb agx, but that would be the next purchase after the springs.

What coilovers would you reccommend.


Please excuse my noobness, but I have read the noob guide.

I can get you K-sport's for $750 shipped. They are stiff, and will not ride how it would with a spring/shock combo.

Out of the prings you mentioned, I honestly prefer the Neuspeed Sport Springs those. The sport springs I had with the kyb agx's and they were a GREAT combo. It wasn't too stiff, but you sure as hell felt the road without it feeling like your teeth were going to shatter.

For someone that isn't looking to stay as flat as possible while cornering, then a good spring/strut combo would be sufficient. Just be sure to match them up right.

You can't go lower than a 1.75" drop with the AGX's. This will make your handling suffer, as well as ride quality.

For springs that drop you more than 1.75", then koni yellows would be the shocks to use.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to use an Evo's rear diffuser. I measured it vaguely and compared it to our bumper. Pretty close fit. I just need the piece on hand to see how far off I may be.

Would the s2k rear diffuser have a much closer/better fit with our bumpers?

Figured I'd share some vids of my friends.

Paul's Silvia (a real one) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9pUz4U3EOM


This guy's father is in this video with his 700whp porsche. This video is old as hell, as Paul had his r32 in this one. His r32 put down 800whp (don't know at what hp he was at when this video was made). His father today is making 1000+whp in his Porsche.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q9IuKDRsqM

If you guys want to look more cool stuff up, just look him up under Paul2x in youtube. He has videos on there when he was out in Japan.

Paul's r32 was in a magazine, but I forget which one. He sold it, and then got that silvia.

I can't seem to load the track vids. darn!
