So very awesome!


Our cars are twins, as well. Mine just has 2 more cylinders and 1 less turbo.

SLR V4 Angle kit with E46 arms just shipped. Wont be here till around Monday, and I will install next weekend. This is the same kit (minus the tubular arms) that Denofa is running this weekend at Long Beach! Cant wait to see what this car will feel like!

Ive gathered a few things that it could be.

Unequal Caster
Tie Rods
Ball Joints
SAI off
Rear subframe tweaked (highly possible at this power level)
Wheel bearing

Going to get it on a lift soon and check it all out

When I drive normal like just cruising, the car pulls to the right, pretty hard...

The car lines up though on the alignment rack though.

Are you sure about that? Sounds like you have unequal castor.

Full chassis stitch weld!!! DO IT~

[unevolved]

If it's pulling right, but has a "good" alignment, have you considered taking it to a good collision repair place and having them put it on a frame rack? It's real hard to get a good alignment if your frame is all wonky. May want to rule that out, or you'll be constantly chasing your tail.

Lets talk chassis strengthening.

I feel as if my chassis is flexing under acceleration. The rearend has solid Condor Mounts in the Diff, subframe, and trailing arms. The rear sway bar is disconnected to allow for a little more rear grip in the corners. The trans crossmember mount is solid. The motor mounts are poly.

Here is whats going on with the car:
When I give the car a little gas (and I mean very little, just enough to make it accelerate a little) I notice it pulls to the right a little bit, and then when I let off it pulls to the left.
When I drive normal like just cruising, the car pulls to the right, pretty hard. I thought it was my stuck caliper at first, but I fixed that and it still pulls. The car lines up though on the alignment rack though.

Axles have seen better days. The diff doesnt whine, but it makes noticable noise, but it may just be the NVH coming through the solid mounts. Im really stumped on this one. Im checking it out on a lift soon, but Id like some advice on what I should look for, and what all should be strengthened.

Thanks!

That is clean. Well done! :)

Almost done with the engine bay!

Before


After






Custom harness started up first try too :D

Made it too our first drift event too. Worked on the car till 3am the day before!

[SLEEPYDUB]

Made some headway yesterday thanks to ol greybeard (Xackgrill). We have most of the harness loomed with just a few connectors remaining left in the engine bay.

We made a bracket for the LS1 coil packs and relocated them, along with the MSD 3bar map sensor, and my Injectior Module inside the cabin behind the dash. There is a panel in the engine bay that we can remove to access all of those components very easily. We have pulled out tons of unused wiring and unused components.








Should have the wiring finished Sunday and the interior put back together with fresh black carpet finally!

Also Hans came by (Airfed) and hooked me up with some LED interior lighting that is brighter than it legally should be haha. He set it up on the door switch and we used an unused switch to power it when the doors are shut. Also turns on the trunk lighting. We will have the engine bay lit up with a Hood switch as well for those low light days.

One of my bushings on my subframe failed during install so I need just one more and that will be in.

I only have 1 week before our first event. Its crunch time!
