    The hypocrisy oooooozes like rancid molasses around here…

    Oh and next time someone makes a thread about changing the sacred z31, and you immediately get incensed because you think it's perfection incarnate, DON'T OPEN IT
    Next time you make a thread asking for peoples opinions/reviews, don't get pissed when its not what you wanted to hear.

    next time think about a more civilized way to go about it rather than barbarically telling people their design is "flawed". see how this works.

    I love my Z31 with all my heart and i constantly throw money at it like a stripper but that doesnt mean i don't enjoy it. The difference is I KNOW my car is not the best for the money i have in mine i could have bought and evo and be just as fast as anyone here round a truck or a subaru or a turbo miata their are better platforms out there but i love my Z31 and choose to improve the chassis because it's a type of addiction you get from making it better then it was from the factory.

    i know and acknowledge the weaknesses of the Z31 and want to improve those points I.E Z32 rear multilink suspension and a complete suspension overhaul because thats a weak point for the Z31's. some people like bone stock cars. but ffs it's Z31 PERFORMANCE for a reason.

MikeP is a good guy, but opinionated. On the other hand, you, dragging his girlfriend in on this conversation and insulting them? Class-A douchebaggery. I get that you are defending G-E. But seriously, back off. You are only making the pissing contest worse, and ruining what WAS at least on topic for the most part!

    Can we skip to the "does it work or not" part?

    i have a friend with a 85 turbo white Z it's holset hx35 he has bits here and there, it is a quick Z with only 10psi. he spikes to 14psi but it's still fast, i was behind him when he pulled 1 and a half cars on a 2012 challenger R/T. iI'm surprised he's swapping to something smaller.

    Hence billet steel quick-steer/angle increasing steering knuckles that were a project of a few of us who commented on this thread.

    Back on topic, G-E. I'm interested to see it aligned and tested. Good luck!
