oh dude, you grabbed the setups from the forum? Those fd settings are wack. Those settings were particular because the technique they were using was primarily 'power-over' IMO. I noticed that with that setup it was hard to get the rear to kick out for tight S turns and for tight banks. It was great for full swooping and high speed turns tho. Sucked for tracks like Tskuba short.

As soon as i manage to unglue myself from tekken 6 i'll pop in forza 2 and get you my settings....

the only thing I ever bought at Autobacs were a set of tires as they were having their 'Going out of Business" sale.
It's how I got the front two tires for my Advans at a great price.

pretty sure I'd never buy wheels from there just based on the prices to the rest of their inventory.
It would be nice for them to get some wheels in there but they'll need to be more competitive on prices.

are they finally accepting online orders? I always thought that was one MAJOR drawback to Autobacs.

I would love to get one and do the whole aggressive fitment thing with some low offset TE's - probably takata or something similar, depending on car color, drop it, just a catback, and a pair of Brides or Recaros. Ughhhhhhhh do want!

How much do stance run for that car? My first mod was Tein Drift spec coilovers, which was slightly annoying given the open diff.

I think I'm going to make the time to cruise by the DMV tomorrow and just sort everything out.

Time to go knock out my philosophy essay. Later guys
