Are you ignorant about suspensions or do you not comprehend my writing?

Optimizing the suspension geometry for the lowered ride height through links and/or different wheel carriers cures the bumpsteer issues. Or do you not know what that means?

 

I fully comprehend, just pointing out what you said wasnt true, just giving you a hard time like i see you giving others , and for what reason? No reason at all, you are very knowledgable indeed, but from reading your post's lately they are uncalled for and sometimes irrelevant!

You said changing the suspension geometry/lowering the car cures bumpsteer, re-read it, then you said after you could ALSO change other things, you just mixed and matched up what you just wrote to me, but from your original post it can be mis interpreted!

Goodnight!

 

Sorry for coming down on you like that... it's been a long day, and I've been having to respond to idiotic posts on MBWorld, so it's eaten up all my tolerance for the day.

Nothing personal, trust me. It's all good!

 

correct me if i'm wrong, but the GT2 geometry/lowering, is not quit what ritchieswimwear started this thread for, nor for why some oppt for the high hp setups instead of lightening and what not...and the sad part is only 3/33 of the post were even relevent(my post too were irrelevent, and i apologize) so please, let us offer ritchieswimwear our knowledge on the correct subject...

sincerely,
chasen

 

Don't forget this guy.... I know Scott, Alexander, Mark and others won't...

 

I want a sticker like that LOL

 

You think??!?!?!?

It started a long time ago in my book... oh well...to each his own...

 

I know the thread went a little off subject but I think it's cool. I love the bantering back and forth. The moral on the super HP packages is, if you cannot afford a new engine (I am one of those who can't) because you bent rods or something else, then keep the upgrades modest and go for handling and cosmetic improvements. That is where I am going after all the insight in this post and other post, thanks ritchie

 

Damn Tyson, I wondered why you were dishing it out You were so polite and calm in person

 

Hey no problem man, it was just a little wake up call, a refreshing post to make you realize and you did! Your a cool guy and i look forward to reading more topic's and info from you!

I will PM you actually on a suspension question

Professor Tyson

I feel your pain. Teaching Porsche 101 to that RX-7 marine guy was a waste of time. He and that other DogBerry guy are impossible to get through their medulla oblongata

 

I'd like to split the middle and ask a varation of the question. If the engine does turn out not to be able to handle the GT700 power, what is expected to be the first thing to go wrong? How can you tell if (that) something is going wrong? What would be the extent of damage be, if (that) something goes wrong?

For instance, my guess is that the likely problem would be bent rods. What are the symptoms of bent rods? Will this ruin the engine or will the internals just need to be upgraded?

I'm assuming the worst case scenario is that the internal build will need to be done sooner than later, so as long as you're prepared for a $20-30k project, you should be okay, right? Since this is something that should be done eventually anyway, the risks don't seem that bad.

Experts, please chime in as I am not an expert. How far off am I? Is it actually possible that, by not upgrading the internals, the engine block or something could be destroyed at the GT700 level?
