Idaho BS thread in the PNW

It is so like you to only notice the car.

They are advertising the new f-type will be there. What is the model name of the alpha you are hoping to see?

 

I hope they make a hard top, not too fond of that as a vert.

 

fuckn cars that very few people can aford.. I thought this was a taco site..

 

Well school is obviously failing because what the fuck is a feild

 

If engineers didn't suck at communcation, I wouldn't have a job.

 

pretty sure the f-type is available as a coupe too.

 

You just made my fucking day right there! haha

What kind of car are you planning to afford there man?! I don't know exactly what all of them cost, but even for an engineer I think a half million dollar car might be a stretch and even the everyday super cars like Lambo's and cheap ferraris and Porsches are getting close to that mark nowadays...

I've set my sights much lower with a diesel pickup of some sort, my pimped out taco that I already own and a Shelby GT Mustang. All are sub $100,000 vehicles.

 

PFFFFTTTTTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Actually had quite a good laugh at that.


And Ben, opinions are like assholes right? But in all seriousness, the car looks awesome up front, I just don't like the look of it being a vert.

 

The base model f-type with the supercharged v6 and 8-speed tranny is a little under $70K

 

I didn't take into account of buying a used one. haha Not sure why...

Also didn't realize that car would come in that cheap.

 

Where they using ORIs? or just other air shocks.

that is the major down side though..if they fail..you are seriously fucked..haha

Yea you can fit a 10'' in the stock buckets. figured you'd do that for MID setup anyways.

its tempting but again..idk how they would handle the super fast sections and lots and lots of abuse. Still would need front triple bypasses anyways.

gonna be sweet to see one there.

I hope there is an LFA again..was pissed i didn't have a camera last year at Barrett Jackson..

 

Eh..true..still..shouldn't matter..epic car..and sooo beautiful..couldn't believe how low it sat.

Then again, this isn't really one of those shows..this a whats new show so your probably right.

 

yea have seen a lambo or two here and such. They are all pretty low.

and Burgatti the size of a TT??...mmm..i think thats a bit of a strech..it has 20'' wheels i mean..haha proportionally speaking i don't think that would be possible..but im sure its a hell of a lot smaller then we think it to be.

 

They were Fox's I believe.

Looks like 10" shocks would be over kill though since so much of the travel would be wasted with just MT though. Hell 8" is practically too much for factory length A-arms. Looks like Jerry is trying to length the top plate though so that the shocks are lowered to fit into the arm travel range better. He's hoping to make it just right so the internal bump on the ORI's will work in place of your factory bump. You will probably still have to strap it though because like I said, I think 8" is more than these trucks can handle. haha Even the ext travel Icons are only 6" travel.

I'd like to see how my Light Racing ball joint UCA's compare to TC's uniballs. Apparently sytfu510's TC UCA's were the limiting factor for his droop. They maxed out before his CV's did. When I had my 5100's out though, I'm pretty sure my UCA's weren't, my limiting factor at full droop. Not sure what was though.

I think triple bypasses on mid travel would be overkill. haha I imagine just some good C/O's would be plenty for anything you were going to do with MT.

 

There was a veyron at the show last year. It was roped off but I was within 3" of it. It is longer, wider and lower than a TT.

 

They say when you are looking at the back of a bugati veyron, it looks almost like the back tires are a single wide ass tire instead of 1 tires on each side. Michelin unibrow! haha



EDIT: Doesn't really appear that way in the pics though...

 

Still looks pretty damn small though...

 

yea but Alex has 10'' ORIs..you don't have even CLOSE to the droop he was getting..haha

Id be willing to be the TC uniballs give more droop, but not by much.

say what jerry said. Its a good idea really.

nice!

 

I don't know man, I think I am pretty close to what he had.

This is me when I was stuck. Just look at the angle of the tire rod compared to the frame and such. My tires are still on the ground and not quite at full droop.


This is his rig at full droop (Uniballs maxed out)


Like I said I don't think I am quite there, but close enough that it shouldn't make a difference and he strapped his just above that.

Can't wait to see what Jerry comes up with and this setup works out for people.

 

Hey i said few can afford. Happy to know you will be one of the few there buddy.. Guess im just not that id ever buy one but it would mean more money for other toys that im actually into..

Just looked into it and yup gonna try and put 18" 2.5" SAW's under my truck when i SAS..
