Well i only drove it for a few days as a daily and it wasnt bad at all, still allows some give when you turn. But i never did drive it in the rain, but then again even my daily car isnt comfortable and i dont mind it at all, so maybe im biased. lol

i've been confused on diffs for a while, when i had that car it was terrible, it locked up great when doing burnouts or whatever on dry hard pavement but when it was raining it would be 1 wheel.. On my non lsd white supra it locked up all the damn time, did 2 wheel burnouts on dry and rain, I would go down us301 at sideways at 55mph in 4th gear in the rain. I had to take corners slow with clutch pressed so it wouldnt go sideways, couldnt keep the damn thing straight. it was crazy fun but dangerous as hell lol.. I could barley do a doughnut with the yellow, i don't think i tried my non lsd, well supposedly non lsd lol
well it is possible for the non lsd diff to do a 2 wheel burnout, that can only happen when both wheels have the same amount of friction. this happens easier in the rain. but yah this (yellow) car is a nightmare to be honest. installing steering rack spacers which should only take anywhere from 2-3 hrs took me the entire day. i am pissed lol
U Jelly??? Battle Version Camber, Toe, and Traction Arms. These are the prototype Toe arms that are now going to be released by end of January. That is why they are not powdercoated yet, and they are beefy as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome product!!!!!!!!! This was a very easy company/guy to get ahold of and talk to. Would recomend to everyone A++ expierience. parts were at my door in three days. They are in California and I am in Florida.
do you know how the battle versions compare with the beech performance ones? just curious
1988 Ice Blue Metallic 7M-GTE... never-ending project
^I personally do not. I also do not want to start a bash Beech Performance thread, but, from what I understand the Battle Versions are made with better materials and are priced cheaper than the Beech Performance arms. The Battle Version Arms imho look very very strong especially these new toe arms which are going to be released so i have no reason to think i should have gone with Beech on these.
Maybe someone else can chime in with what they think about the Beech Arms.
so glad i sold it to good hands, damn this car is coming out sickk, I will be back in florida around march, should get my 1jz running then, can't wait to take it to the track, let me know if the traction arms eliminate the bunny hops

The traction arms are still not strong enough, and if compared to the OEM version, then they may not even be an improvement. These arms need to employ beam technology design to show any improvement. Furthermore, they really don't need to be adjustable.

haha thanks man. yah will def let you know.
I don't know. When you stand on the OEM arms they bend very easily. These arms do not bend when i stand on it im ~190lbs im fat lol. The only reason i could these needing to be adjustable is to maybe add alittle pre-load, but im not sure if that is beneficial. It is weird that the only ones i have seen are adjustable though.
I did a quick google search on Beam Design Technology because i didn't know what it was. All i could find was info on bridges, but i think the same technology would imply on these arms. Are there any arms made with this technology?
You know you can eliminate the FP relay.. I did it and it seems to still operate the same way no issues at all, Just to help you to clean up the bay a bit more

Yah i know i can by doing the 12v mod. but right now it seems vaig to do it now since im still only NA and not at a need for fuel. but once i go turbo the whole car will prob be re-wired and just use only what i need.
Arms installed! took me long enough after having to cut out the siezed cam bolts, then special order new ones from toyota.
2x4 and cinderblock mod FTW.
I heard its jdm tyte now. i just gotta cut down the 2x4's a little shorter so they'll be flush, to much poke right now.
Fuck Jackstands.....
^ yea i couldnt find any more 2x4's so i had to use two jack stands in the front.
Fuck Jackstands.....
bwahahahah that shit made me lol
to the op nice job on the car. looks like you do pretty good work for being 19. next time you paint your car dont be affraid to lay it on heavy. i used like a gallon of paint on my supra this past summer lol. make is look more deep. other than that looks good. im also curious how those battle version arms holdup under a hard lanch. keep us updated!
89 supra turbo recently finished 2jz swap....soon to seen dyno
90 toyota pickup with 7mgte/r154
^thank you, yes paint is going to be redone once i have more confidence in my driving skills and once the car is ready and where i want it to be. then ill drop some cash into paint.
I am also wondering how these arms are going to hold up. All that is left is some adjustable sway bar end links, bucket seats and harnesses and then it will be out at the track again.
I think this car gets most improved award for sure.
I like the new arms. I'm sure they'll hold up just fine. The only thing that I would change would be cone spacers at the hiem joints to get a better clamping force to the subframe. ( check out the link)

Thanks, I appreciate it.
hmm interesting, sounds like a good idea. Only downside I would see is possibly raising the price, but I can't see it going that much higher. I will talk to Battle Version and see what they think.
are the battles like a camber kit??
^Battles are wheels. Battle Version is a company.
and yes camber and toe adjustment for the rear.
pretty sure that's what he was referring to.are the battles like a camber kit??
^Battles are wheels. Battle Version is a company.
Ish just got real......lol
