RobSheffield Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 3S GTE or maybe 1JZ GTE would be well suited to the lightweight and drifting premise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 How much are you looking to spend on coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprabass Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Coilover options MeisterR Zeta coilovers http://www.meisterr.com i will be running these on my MKIV drift car which I hope will be at JDM Allstars Wembley http://www.meisterr.com/Site/Toyota_Supra_JZA80_files/zeta.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 just a quick update- think i've deciced on an engine- just need to nip round and have a look at a mates new drag car- as that will be same engine.... researched into the roll cage- (edc website) so i know what i need for that! the dash has got to stay- (edc rules) still looking for a set of coilovers.... That wouldn't be Gethins by any chance would it mate? I hear he landed on his feet again. 3S GTE or maybe 1JZ GTE would be well suited to the lightweight and drifting premise. I still think this would be your best option as I said last time I saw you:) I'll be down one night. Things are still a bit hectic in the evenings and weekends. I still cant get on the net in the new house even:blink: Still, I'll be having a week off soon. And once I've sorted a couple of outstanding parts I need to get sent I can come over and pass you spanners:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
