Great article, even better magazine. I believe they were a sponsor for the 03 Expo, but am not sure if they are confirmed for 04 or not.

Enjoy!

I know! I know! Pick me!


Also,
I've asked Alexander to take down all but the first page of the full scan, we don't mind a teaser but until the issue is off the newsstand we'd rather you go check it out in the magazine. Our advertisers pay good money to be put with our editorial, I'm sure you all understand. After it's no longer actively on sale, we can look the other way...

All set.

 

Seen Scotty's car in person. Those Tein's look nasty good!! Wish I could afford some

 

"...making our Type R the quickest car we've tested at our track by about three-quarters of a second"

Badass

 

I was starting to read that article last night in the bathroom... I definalty like the be NASA-Va Member get a free issue...

 

Curious, on the first page, it says, "It's important to note that in order to adjust a TEIN, one must first tighten it to full firm and then count the ticks backward, being careful to never loosen it past the 16th stop."

Does this apply to Zeal B6s? And how would I know if it's been "loosened" past the 6th (in my case) spot?

You have numbers of you settings on the B6s the teins do not. You just turn till you see the number of adjustment you want on your strut

The Teins have no numbers just a little "turny thing" on the top of the piston shaft with no numbers like your loser *** B6's

i think this is typical with many of the JDM suspensions. i know JIC says the same thing for their shox.

 

Man I love that magazine...

Was reading it today. Grassroots kicks ***.

Jason-
who likes that they're the presenter of the ECHC

 

Don't forget to read the cover article, Scott wrote that one too

Good jorb d00d

 

Glad you guys are diggin the May issue, I was pretty happily geeked out reading all the tech stuff when we were proofing it, so you're not the only ones who love the mag.

As for other cars, the next closest was the M3 with a new suspension and the same type of tires, measued on that same day. We don't have times for some cars that would be faster than the R (the Rotary Spitfire comes to mind, and the Locost 7 will kick *** when it's sorted out), but it's a very happy car at the mini-track. One perk of the job is driving alot of stuff, and I've never once thought of selling the R...no do I suspect I ever will. Although the 740 b00stb0x i just got is a pretty sweet daily driver...needs a limited-slip tho for hot dorifto action.
