JIC USA/Ziel Motorsports

This is a few shots of their race setup. The damper itself is chromoly with a few aluminum pieces. Very nice stuff.

I'll be trying out a few different spring rates, but all of them will be very high.

That's a shot with the other type of rear lca mount. These were taken before I put the eyelet ones on.

Where is JIC/Ziel Motorsports located?

 

Ah yes, that was one of my pre-reqs for a shock company.

o MUST have stateside support.

JIC is a Japanese company, but there is a JIC engineer over here in the states. He's very knowledgeable, and actually, all the guys at Ziel (JIC USA) have treated me well. Their shop is in California.

Looks like some high quality parts. Any idea on the cost of these things? I swear i have seen those shock on some Japan site or mags...can't remember but the brand rings a bell.

 

wow, hook me up with parts

 

Congrats Warren.

You JDM susp'n *****

 

JIC is nice nice,

WOW beautiful stuff, remember seing them on jhp.com a while back.

Jon K. is a great guy! Is there another John there I don't know about? I've been working with Terry and Jon. Both of whom have treated me great!

Warren

 

i think john is the boss of Ziel motorsport. see, when i first got my FLT-A2, i think it was great and tried to talk to those guy in track(big willow). and i was treated bad(well, maybe they dont have time for a retail customer like me). i dont even bother to put on JIC sticker for them. and a while ago, my friends help another friend to install a stand alone ecu which is imported by Ziel(DTA from UK). my friends got some question about the ECU and they called John for help, and he cut them off twice on the phone, and the last time John said "U are on your own!", yeah, what a great customer service.

American or Japanese guy?

Warren

 

...and I thought Warrens first sponsor would be "Dent Wizard"

Anywho, congrats Warren! Nice job on getting a sponsor

 

You one lucky dude. Congrats

 

Congrats

 

i think you need to loose those into my trunk so you can get another free pair

congrats
go tear it up.

 

Single or double adjustable?

--Karl, who needs to do something other than his 4 year old Konis with too-high spring rates...

 

hes japanese. (they are all japanese in Ziel). anyway, he gave me a very bad impression when i first met him. he pretend like very professional and stuff when i was in big willow. he put on all his racing suit and my friend ask him to show the race line and setting on his 01 golf gti. and my friend was running a wrong set of tire(small tire, 195-45-15, T1S), and John told him to lose more and more tire perssure, and said his Porsche in JGTC is running low tire pressure setting too. but for god sake, my friend car is not a race car first of all and also with the original narrow rim and small tire(wrong size), he told him to put 28psi or less(when hot) perssure. it was just killing the tire(the outer block of the tire was killed), since T1S is not a very stiff sidewall tire. and after that my friend was like "WTF was this guy trying to teach me?" i understand he might use lower perssure setting in japan(should be around 1.8-2.2bar), but the setting is not same for all place because of different weather.

 

Congrats Warren!!!! Make sure to let me know how you like them.
