that's cool!!! it's a badass truck!!!

 

Well today really sucked snow, sleet, hail, rain and gale forced winds grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but the sway bars are in the rear bar did not fit all to well at frist but I made it work. I made have to shorten the end link abit bet but after today **** it not even sure my mounts are aliened right, but it's an easy fix

further more my welder broke so I had to whip out old trusty 120 since the trigger would not work after a bunch of testing look like it the main contoler for wire feed has an issue grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr some more.

oh ya the bell tec rear bar does not fit right since it is made for a 4x4 4 runner or a 4x4 reg cab wtf


any ways here some pic i going to drink my self to sleep tonight then wake up to go get the truck alined at my buddies shop I have nice aliment planned so it should turn out pretty sweet


well here is the front bar beside the stocker


pic is not great but it is bigger


bolts they gave me but did not fit must be for 4x4 replaced wit new bolt's the good one's are gold


for some reason the collect for the end like had some **** in it so i had to drill it out

front bar installed


jacking the rear since no one has scene the drop leafs





**** don't fit but i will make it work gas tank in the way

grounded do so i can weld

custome bracket to make it work

install with ****ty 120 welder but it did it's job

****ty shot of the rear at this point i did not care



well i have to say today really sucked and i just going ot have some beer's and let it go

 

have you ever thought of putting in a supra i.r.s. rear end??? I heard they work well with the r154 supra 5-spd manual transmission.but if you put the automatic mk4 toyoa supra rear end.with the r154 transmission the gearing coupled with the transmission gearing is really great.you should look at dsport magazine and some of their projects.nice job on your truck too!!

 

I don't think I will go the irs root going to keep it simple

plus once I do major suspension change it will put me in street mod class and I don't have the hp to compete in that class

right now I am in street prep class



found out today I rub my fenders really good so ether cutting will happen or roll it with base ball bat

275 in the rear does not work to well when lowered

 

lemme know how the truck goes later.

275's for me required pulling those fenders outward...

 

Humm maybe 255 would be better

 

that's cool!!! are you going to put a roll cage in it too???

 

I was thinking about it

but we will see I left room for a cage when I mounted my seat's so it was on my mind just may just put harness bar in thou

 

yeah!!! if you look at pro-touring cars and trucks they have a lot of cool ideas!!! if you lighten your spring rates you might get more traction too!!! do you ever burn out trying to get the power to the ground too???

 

Well we will see how it goes

 

Looks good lowered . Any plans on shock choices yet I'm all for blistein or cal tracks . Those nitro and toxics don't seemed to be valved good

 

I have all way been a bling stein fan and most likly that is what I will buy


only other choice out there are kyb mono max. I am not fan of twin tube shock's since I don't care if it can run up side down and they all ways have small pistons and there damping is just not up to par with a single

cal track look ok but I am pretty sure there just an air oil shock (after reading there rancho air/oil shock) so that is off my list now, but I will be making set of cal track track bars for my leafs

but right now I still have **** list to do to the truck

roll fender so I can race tomorrow
install new deck
install amp in a better spot
install new water pump
check tps is correct
check front o2 is up to par
start tune the afm if the upper 2 are ok

and I have fuel reg to install when ever the new efi spring comes for it so I can convert it over

but think this up coming week I may take new week off form the truck since I have bee working on it so bloody much lately, it's more fun to drive then jacked up in the drive way

 

Rolled my rear fenders with base ball bat and now no more rubbing But I had to ditch my front spacer sadly don't really notice them gone any way



But I took Ye Old Norris for a good kick in the ass down some of my favorite back road's and it's jaw dropping fun now to the point were I over heat my brakes rather fast now.


so down to the bell tec leaf review and sway bar kit


the Rear sway kit was not plug and play how ever it was close, if you have welder and can form light bulb over you head it is rather easy to install


the rear sway bar is perfect match for the rear drop leaf's no body lifting but a really nice ride and nice firm feel

The axle wrap it's very mild even with a 275 rear and an lsd
there is abit of rear end squat witch plants the power really nicely as well

so over all I am really happy and when I was on the back road's I was playing keep up with a honda s2000 then when road ended pulled over had a chat and he was in shock that a silly part's hauler could stick on his bumper the hole way. let alone a 22re lol

well here is some better pic's of Ye Old Norris






oh ya mounting my seats as low as I can go wail still being able to see my hoods corners helped so much as well



I think I may even wash it today

 

lol sounds like you are having lots of fun with your truck! glad 2 hear it!

 

that's cool man!!! I love the way your truck looks!!! do you change wheels and tires when you auto cross too??? are you going to upgrade to willwood or brembo brakes too???

 

I will most likey do the raffie brake upgrade and use ls400 cailiprs and rotors it so cheap and saves me time making some thing up


but it be pretty sweet if I could do the 4 piston later model ls400 hummm meh we will see how it goes

and no I don't swap wheels if I was I would have to buy 2 sets of the same wheels so my aliment stays the same

 

that's cool!!!

 

snapped a pic today err night





Well today I went to class to get my racing novice licence passed the class no no a hole day of racing up ahead this should be fun but I wish I had better front brakes but meh i just go as fast as i can go fro what I have for now.

I did re adjust my rear prop valve to help the front brakes but it can only go so far if you know what I mean

 

nice truck!!! good job on getting your novice license too!!!!

 

Well I got my novice racing licence and shocked a **** load of people on what Ye old Truck Norris can do.

BMW e46 what oh that dot in my rear view mirror muahahah

took out alot of big hp cars today vw golf vr6 and 2 rx8's with me little 22re lol
