My 89 MI16

2 minute(s) of a 84 minute read

AVO's installed:-)

I forgot too add picture of modified AVO's. I added thrust bearings,helper springs and cups,top heat and camber plates. I could not reuse previous hepler springs,cups and bearings as they were 2,5" and AVO's are using 2 1/4 springs.

I'll lift the front for about 10mm and leave it as is. I'll roll fron fenders just so it gives me more clearance in case I'm running negative camber,that way alignment shop can set it at factory spec. At the moment it's not rubbing and drives good,suspension travel seems good but typically coilovers have very little suspension travel. About 10-30mm on DD is all they travel.

I installed Flex sensor on Thursday,loged it on Saturday and filled it up with E85 on Sunday. Runs just about the same as it did with 91. I may need to adjust SD table a bit before WOT tuning.

Finished Savo spec XU9J4 1g DSM CAS adapter. Intake is still at powder coater so I couldn't take any pictures of entire engine bay.

Front spring rate on coilovers are 250 pounds and they feel too soft,could be because most European models are not fully loaded and probably much lighter so I'll order 300's tomorrow.
