    I do both, and honestly probably use mig for most things, but whenever I get a chance to pull out the tig I do it, I don't care if it takes longer. It's so clean, and such a concentrated arc, the heat distortion is extremely minimal!

        dont really see why mcferson setup has been and still is the leading suspension style in every racing series minus f1. The big advantage is airflow but who am I kidding, the car is a brick

          Oh, wait, is that a 2jz e30 already? Should I keep linking the others? Seems like you are just doing what others are doing. Now if you put a built VR38DETT in, you'd be doing something not evrryone has done, or seen specifically seen on this sight. ;)

            Love how so many jerkoffs on this site think they are entitled to crap on people's parade. "I'm just saying i haven't seen specifically what I'm doing on here." Now that he has seen one, scamper off and go crap on someone else's thread.

                It's only the leading suspension architecture in series in which it's required. Most of the series you're thinking of require the stock architecture as they're based off production cars. From a dynamics standpoint, SLA is far superior to McPherson. I can recommend some good books on the subject if you're interested.

                    Pretty much anything by Carroll Smith is worth reading and taking to heart. Tune to Win and Engineer to Win are some good ones.

                          Such a cool build! 2jz engines are boss, can't wait to see more. Do you have more pictures of the process of shaving your bay? It all looks too cool.

                            bay shaving has been put on hold because I dont know how much Im going to cut out of the firewall. but the sides are finished and primed. looks just like the previos pics I posted


                            now 2j is gone for one reason, no really a good powerband for road racing, shitty powerband for corner power and exit power, plus I change my mind more than underpants. for instance, I decided yesterday that I wasnt doing the 2j, as I evaluated my options I looked into the builds of about 6 different engines. But my mind is made up because I bought one. picked it up tonight. Yes it has been done before. not sure to what extend im sure its been plenty, but dont care. so lets see if anyone can guess whats under this tarp. It will have 450hp when finished, and a flat power curve. Thats all for now
