Long Travel BS Thread

i met a guy swapping a lexus v6 in. drive by wire and all.

 

thats too far..the wrong direction haha

 

Hows the transmission? Our principals out our firm have those and although they are nice and have good power and mpgs, 3 out of the 4 have had transmission issues within 30,000 miles.

 

mine is the 10 speed, so far so good. Although it does slam gears once and awhile.

 

I've got a WRX too. I'm moving when I'm not stuck behind slow traffic. I hit 80-100 mph all the time passing on the 2-lane roads I have to take on my commute. My commute is 90 miles round trip if I drive to the office and don't go anywhere else. 100+ miles per day is normal. I average 25-26 mpg.

But this is where it started after I ruined my Tacoma as a daily driver.

1997 2.7L 5-Speed manual 2wd. Awesome daily, this thing ran soooo good for its age. 22mpg no matter how you drive it.

you can't die happy until you put some air bags or something on the diesel to tow the taco properly haha

Any of you nerds running a 3.0 coilovers in the rear?
If so what springs?

 

Not I, that’s a big coilover for tacos

 

You would run the same spring rate as a smaller shock. People just typically add a bypass if you need more damping

 

Agreed
But the price difference is about 200$
So I was looking at it as an option

 

Well I'm doing a short course link setup so I am wanting to run primarily just the coilovers and tune it well and then add a bypass later on if I decide I really need it

 

No worries. You'd still run the same spring rate as someone doing a 2.5" CO. The calculator on filthy motorsports site is how you find a good start point to what rates you need.

 

Well a quick run looking for a jump yesterday was unsuccessful. Nothing in the hills behind my house. But did learn that shortening bumps down to 2" and down to 100psi I need to mess with bypass tuning again. Seemed to make a very noticeable difference in a bad way

 

A 3.0 Internal bypass would be gangster if you’re doing the short course link. You could get away with a 2.5 with the ibp. I think my springs are 350/450... or 250/350.. I forgot

 

Anyone know how to tell if a cv axle is oem? Things I can look for?
