ou812 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 And on top of that, i've seen the dyno runs of the supras that put out 900 HP, don't know about stock bottom end, but they won't last 2 trips down the quarter mile, never! Throw in the juice and they are really not gonna last more than one trip. Funny thing is, you never see those mythical supras actually run the 1.4 mile..I've seen some dip into the 10's and 11's, but they certainly didn't have 980 hp... owned, I think not.www.highboost.com/movies/TitanRace/titan9sec.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my dad told me that they sold it somewhere out of the state. Besides, I have the 2 for a joyride now. More torque, more fun. Ill let you drive it when I make a few mods. Its going in the shop next month for clutch and brake upgrades. This one will be way more of a project with WAY more mods. I can't wait to get started. *lol* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all4tribal Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 suggestions for suspension:leave it stock for now. You'll see why the first time you take it out on that AutoX course. Learn how to handle the stock car first and THEN think about moving up to modded suspension. Modding a deuce's suspension transforms it more from a "getting close to the limit" feeling, to an "on/off" switch... as if the 91-92 MR2's weren't infamous enough for being tough to control at the limit.Just freshen up any stuff that's worn out and needs replacing like balljoints and tie-rod ends first, then go get an alignment. I recommend looking at this page:http://web.mitsi.com/autocross/faq.htmlfresh balljoints and tie rods, a good alignment and MAYBE fresh struts if yours are shot. The car will feel great. If you want to leave strut replacement for later, or get a coilover system, that's cool too. Just enjoy it as it is for now www.twosrus.com has some little toys for your Toy and yes we want booty pics.what a coilover system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
