OverKILL!

I think it's a good plan to keep the engine in this car and just dial it in. As long as the chassis isn't twisted or rusty or something. Who wouldn't want a B6t show car and a BPT monster? Lol.

So motor needs to got more driver and some forward?

Ill look at the car in a few to see what is on it. i think thats its just coilover sleeves on stock struts. I would cry if whats on it was a kit that someone paid money for.

The stock struts don't have enough rebound dampening for the stock spring rate, putting stiffer springs on them is asking for trouble. If that's the case on this car, you've got a simple fix right there. You're also spot on with your statement about the springs floating around. It sounds like you've got some simple things to address, but a lot of the problems you have had with Lucifer have been taken care of.

Lucifer will very soon be very well off. I will have to make a new suspension kit but i need to have my guy weld in an external wasgtgate flange then Lucifer will be back together.

Yeah. The drivers side frame rail needs to be pushed in almost a half an inch for it to sit where it's supposed to for full adjustment and no binding. We dialed this in on our LeMons car. It took a LOT of heating and pounding. The next time I do it, I'm going to cut that section out and box it in like Gomez did.

Thanks bud!

I got the car doing rather good over the weekend. It oulls mostly straight stays straight and only gets torque steer when really moving. Then on the way home from town i started to get a weird vibration. Its almost as if a belt broke in the tirs and at speed it gets a lump on it or something. Im not sure what it is yet tho. Will have the car in the air tonight.

[Advancedynamix]

What did you do to resolve the TQ steer?

[mikemounlio]

Well its not gone. But to help i took out the bushing that mount the cross-member to the front lower support. I replaced the bushing with some washers. Tonight i will look at the rear bushing and see if they need replaced as well. Also i swapped my suspension from Lucifer over to OverKILL. I adjusted the front end alignment a bit as well.

Drove the car all weekend and it was great. Went out of town in it and got on it pretty good and at about 85 got really bad wheel vibrations. Now at like 75 or so i get the shakes. Once they start they get super bad if i turn left. If i slow down they go away.
It might be axle bind on the passengers side. Its very clear its only the passengers side tho. Bad tire or axle bid is all i can think of.


How would i check for axle bind? Tire feels just fine on the ground with no bumps or bad feeling spots.

[Advancedynamix]

Check your IM shaft bolts and bracket/adapter. That sounds like a loose IM shaft carrier.

To check for bind you need to put the car on blocks, remove front springs, re assemble front suspension (without frontbsprings though), adjust camber further negative than you normally set it, and cycle the suspension up and down, while cranking the steering wheel all the way left and right, while trying to spin the wheel hub (you'll need a helper). You want to make sure the CV axle isn't in a bind at any place in the suspension stroke or knuckle angle on both sides. The axle shafts should have back and forth play.

[mikemounlio]

I will check it out. Might have to wait till weekend to do the axle bind test tho.

Work might send me to canada till xmas tho! So might not be able to platy much for a while.

[ryanprins13]

Also if you dont have hubcentric rims the right size theres a small possibility it moved over on the studs to be off centre. Maybe, i really dont know, lol.
