underhood is currently quite embarassing... i guess its not bad apart from the vacuum mess but i want my damn mikuni side drafts!!!!

 

Need some 40mm Mikunis? I got some for sale. PM if interested.

 

BTW, awesome job with the truck. Nothing better then seeing a truck auto-x'ing. Do you have anything done to the rear suspension?

I didn't see details on your suspension. What did you do to it to allow it to handle so well?

 

I did some work on a static drop on a 620 before. It still seemed a bit soft compared to even a stock Nissan car (late model)

 

torsion bars always seem like soft coil springs to me

the suspension is just generally stiff mainly because it is meant to be for a truck and with how light mine is it makes it stiffer to begin with... on top of that i chose a stiffer shock as well

are you running the factory front sway bar? Any different bushings?

 

I ran the stock 620 bar in front, poly bushings, and some lower ball joint spacers. The lower arms were still too flat and allowed more lean in the turns. Would have been a lot better if I had drop spindles.
