The Official EF Discussion Thread
Also I have another question, I have a stock EF.
I heard you can do a turbo kit and still pass smog is Cali?
Is that true and if so which one, turbo kit?
lol no ones talkin about that right now.
Another one is progress, heard good things about them too.
Anyone know if theres a rule of thumb on how to go about choosing the right spring rates four your setup? i.e weight of the car?

I know man, I'm clueless. I have agx 4 way adj shocks w/ megan coilovers but can't slam it down. Ughh...I'm actually selling my set up if anyone is looking for that set-up. Ugh..
What are you talking about..
That person is trying way way to hard. I mean he is going to get what he wants... His 15 minutes of fame, but if that person steps back and is proud of that car then all I can say is wow.

It already has a semi-nice saddle too!
It's no Brooks, but for my first 'nice' bike....AWESOME!
60" Frame, Big Bike for my ridiculous legs.
And that's a big point for the VR4....I'm only 6 feet tall, but my legs are stupid long....For example I wear 30x36 pants.
I love both lol. Whatever I get I just want to subtly improve. new wheels, lowered, random nice body pieces
How'd you know it needed work!?
Yeah I'm excited about the bike! Friend of mine is way too tall for it, so he's letting it go cheap!
I just watched a motorweek review on the VR-4 for lulz....0-60 in 6.5 Seconds!!! SO QUICK.
Thanks for the advice guys!

VR-4 will be a fun car too. If I had one, I would keep the stock wheels, and build it to about 500hp, and just have a sweet sleeper.
Hotsauce, I wish I could turn back time. I just threw out an entire crossmember with the LCAs attached about 3 months ago. Sorry bro.

Good to have friends you can trust.
My inspection and registration expired in April and I just got the car back and had to get a 10 day pass to get everything taken care of, but it expires on Sunday and I have a hard time taking off work. Friend of mine volunteered to take my car to get inspected and another friend rode with him so they could use his employee discount at Autozone to get me another battery. I got a text from another friend of mine asking if I let someone drive my car b/c he’s tailing it. I told him the story and he was like ok, don’t need your car to get stolen when you just got it back.
Yes, great to have good friends.

If I sell my shoebox and buy a CRZ Type R "If it ever comes out/to the US" Will I go to hell? 
This is why I shouldnt be playing GT5, Im modding CRZ's and thinking hey!

LHT is local. They do some awesome stuff. K swapped insight and now the k-rz.
as far as dumping on the PIC's coilovers. They probably wont go as low as you would like. I had mine lowered all the way in the front while retaining preload on my ek coupe and it sat perfect as far as a functional setup.


I didn't want to go any lower than that though. My downpipe was already only 2 inches off the ground. But if you want the slammed fad look, these probably wont suite your taste.
I've yet to install them on my EF, but I can find out how low they go once I do get them on there.
And as far as spring rates go, I looked on their site the other day. They're being offered as their Race2 setup, 10kF, 14kR. I have 12/14 which is what I also ran on my coupe. It was nice to easily adjust the rear end and roughly dial in oversteer.
With our chassis being so light, I don't think that would be a problem with those rates. I'm only familiar with the subject though.

My .02cents in the suspension decision.. I went with Koni Yellow/GC set-up.. I called Ground Control direct and talked to them about rates before ordering.. and than went with my own decision after there advice, cant hurt.
Garghhh! I wish I was your garbage man!
Its no Kr-Z, but still pretty B.A.
