Would it be possible to get a few pictures of your diff welds?

The only suspension change is Tein S.Tech's right now. We haven't installed òour KW V3's just yet, we'll make it a little lower. This isn't going to be "stanced" or "hellaflushed". I'm ready for that trend to end. I want the the most amount of the 235 F and 255 R tires to grip.

Otherwise you may need a lift kit like they do on some higher performance cars ufrom the factory like Porsche, Ferrari et al. Porsche doesn't offer a retrofit kit but the after market models cost around $10K. Now to me that is plain silly man.

I like a low car and having the wheels tucked and on and on...

But Porsche's GT3, which is their N/A track car is very low. The front Air Splitter is considered a replacable part like oil, brakes and tires because you Scrape it up sooooo much from just driving around town. evidently the GT3 is one of the cars they offer the lift kit on. Think its only 1.7 inches, some after market offering for lift kits go higher than that; more than two inches. But sorry, way to go off topic, but having that lift ability on this car with all this work would be VERY TRICK

So insanely badass!

Any update on the FRS/BRZ harness?

Saw/discussed your work at TX FD and at the Lab with Forrest & Garret in Vegas. I'm BEYOND Impressed!

That was the first post I made and was my old setup. The car is pretty low and I've done 245/40-18 18x9.5 +30 all around no problem. However the front setup is no good for tracking or drifting at the height it is. The scrub on the inside and cause the car to brake basically.

225's work on the front without scrubbing but they're stretched and I don't like stretched aesthetically or functionally. A better setup would be 18x8or8.5 +25/30 with 225. Or 17x9 +25 with 225-235. I am getting some 17x8.25 +25 XXR 527's with 215/40/17 tires for drifting.

Nothing right now, kind of ridiculously slammed busy over here but it needs to happen. We also have Brake Line Relocation and AN Fuel Line Kit that will be releasing soon as well.

I really appreciate the kind words Tyler! Yep we love everyone at Get Nuts, really talented group. Are you going to any FD events this season? I plan to be at all of them.

I wish. I spotted for Forrest in TX and they offered to have me travel to the events with them this season and spot for the series.

I'm deployed now though. Won't be back until after the season is over

OMFG how did I miss this. You have soooo many parts I want. Will have to pick your brain.

Any word on the wire tuck harness? Your bay looks super clean and I'm looking to do the same to mine!

[Drift&Drag]

Yo Chase! Call me, I need to place an order for my engine harness asap. We are about to drop the engine in and I want to get this underway before hand. I emailed you my phone number.

Seeing this car in person was kinda cool. The amount of time and skill is always impressive to see

Thank you!

Here's a fun update. I kept breaking axles. I broke 3, all clutch kicking. So, I did the Parts Shop Max Solid Aluminum Subframe and Diff Risers. It was a major pain in the ass to install but the car feels great now. I highly recommend these if you plan on doing some drift days and/or track days. The whole rear of your car will be louder but you can feel everything the back end is doing. This is a huge step forward for drifters and road racers. The front end tells you what its doing through the steering wheel but the rear is often unpredictable with soft rubber bushings, this 100% solves that.

I also got Driveshaft Shop 600hp axles and Aluminum One Piece Driveshaft. There a highly needed set of components for what I am doing with the car. I've been using Driveshaft Shop for almost 10 years, I love them.

I clutch kick with confidence now. I'm also prepped for the high amounts of power we'll acquire later this year. V8ery high amounts.











Get the bushings out of the subframe and diff was the worst. Much bad. Very pain.





But finally after about 10 hrs it all came together.

And a prototype Oil Cooler kit from yours truly



So what do you do next? You test it. Testing went well. Balance is important while drifting. Make sure your passengers know to keep things balanced and symmetrical. Full lock is pitiful on these.

V8ery nice! Can't wait to hear about your new setup bro!
