Need 1JZ naow

Man I was just there the other week. That course is a blast, I am jealous of that setup right by their shop.

The drum style handbrake is the best setup. You can even keep it when you go hydro.

Stiguy You may need to adjust your cables, doubtful the pads would be worn already.

Yeah it seems like a lot of you guys were there during SEMA. Wish I could have been out there then.

It was fun. Need more power at that elevation though. Forrest's new 1J car is a blast though. So easy.

I'll go back for sure once I get some more power.

I have already adjusted it once at the last drift 2 day event i entered and by the end of the of that event it was streched out again its about all the way adjusted out. Im not saying the pads are worn im saying the cable is streching out. I enter about 20 drift events including a 3 day event and 3-2 day events and big tracks. For me hydro will be better in the long run you get a better lock up on both wheels not one maybe two like the drum style is doing now. I bought my car to be full out drift car within 2 years. I am leaving the stock e brake in to you while parking and adding the hydro with dual caliper setup.

As far as my drift knob it works great for me this whole season til the very last event i noticed the cable must be streched out some cause i had to adjust it alot to work like it use to. Not really a big deal to me cause this winter im doing a hydro e brake and dual caliper system.

aight cool. Im gonna go with the pros but i also daily drive so i was thinking about going with a softer spring. Maybe just slightly softer then add preload to stiffen them up if needed. Think this is a good idea or can the adjusters soften up the ride enough for better street? Im gonna call them and talk to um about it but its always good to hear from folks that ride them and use them everyday

If you get coils get subframe collars too because it will help with ride quality in the rear, and if you have the extra 220 get the control arms and do everything in one shot. If you got all 3 it should be about 1300 which will give you a full set up.
