Sapphireho build thread
Hello all,
I'm an older guy, we didn't call things "mods" or "builds" in my day, you just worked or "sooped" up our cars. I bought my car 2 years ago, so late at this, but better late than ever, right? Her are my "mods" as of today: Interior Shrader Performance Rear Seat Delete kit Subaru Trunk Lid Trim Panel Liner TRD Sport Guages Exterior Perrin Plate Relocate kit Rebadged Toyota GT86 TRD Fog Lights Suspension TRD lowering springs TRD sway bars Yoshihara D5C 18x8 +40 rims w/Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires Engine & Drivetrain Jackson Racing Supercharger Jackson Racing Oil Cooler Jackson Racing Aluminum Neck Filler/Radiator Cap DW 700CC injectors DW 300c Fuel Pump Delicious Tuning Flex Fuel MK1+ Kit Custom Tune by William Knose of Delicious Tuning TRD exhaust ACT Xtreme Clutch Kit with Flywheel TRD Japan short shifter DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft Brakes DBA 4000 drilled and slotted rotors DS2500 Ferodo brake pads Perrin master cylinder brace Mann Engineering Stainless Steel Brake Lines Fluids Torco SR-5R 5w30 Engine oil Torco SGO 75w90 Transmission and Differential Gear Oil Torco RT700 Brake Fluid .................................. I just realized I have no good pictures in this iPad. I will get some ASAP. Also I need to scan my Dyno sheets, 240hp gas, 310hp e-85. Last edited by Sapphireho; 02-04-2017 at 09:16 PM. |

Nice mods, interested to know how the bushings change the feel of the car.

Can't tell yet about the bushings. It is raining cats and dogs here in San Jose. As soon as I can get some miles on them to settle in, and the mountain roads can be driven on, I will post.
The shop also did my Japan TRD shifter, and it feels really nice. |

Haven't been back here for a while. All the bushings made a big difference. Car is much more stuck to the road. I can go faster than I should in the hills and never have the nannys come on, yet no noticeable difference in ride quality. Very happy with the results.

What brand were the bushings? Was it a single kit, or did you have to buy a whole bunch? I know whiteline has a kit, but I don't know if it has all of those or only some. |

It was a whole bunch. Most were Whiteline, and some of the inserts were another brand, I forget the name. I'll have to dig out the receipt. They made a big difference. |

I know I hate driving over rougher roads because it always makes the acceleration feel wonky. What's it called? Wheel hop? I think that's the main issue. If changing out the bushings helps with that I might want to do it.

What shop did the work if you don't mind me asking? I've been working on dialing in my suspension and wouldn't mind getting a few bushings replaced on my car.

Looks great! How's the JRSC holding up? Any issues? Do you happen to have a dyno chart or are you running a canned tune?

Both my 91 and e85 dyno charts are here somewhere, I think under the 8/6 day dyno results thread in the norcal section. |
