I've never driven in a car with progressive springs... All I heard was to avoid them for track work.

I've got Kings on Bilsteins & cant fault them.

Not like any of us do enough track-work to blame performance on springs anyways haha

I had tien progressives on mine first time round with new shocks.

They were awful. Crashed about on the street then got all floaty when pushed had on the track

Worst of both worlds

Moved to my coilovers. Slightly more comfy on street and so much better on track

yeah ive got teins but the thing is, the thing has no traction in 2nd or 3rd gear with 280kw.

the thing hardly squats

Dude you've got base model Teins that are all rusted and flogged out because they're 20+ years old.......

"Yeah but I've got Teins"

Edit: Oh and don't let me forget your second hand "Semi Slicks" !

Bc it is

The Toyos were great when warm, not so much on the street lol

haha all round,

this one time i had ku36s on the back and federals on the front, doing a u turn with johno and the car went straight lmao

do you have any suspension work done to the car? Swaybars, camber, castor adjustments?

Swaybars make a massive improvement in understeering/oversteering.

Achilles all around > old semis

I call bullshit on this..

went from the old R888 to Achilles 123 Sport (their supposedly track tyres)

grip level dropped so fast it was not funny.

just ended up spinning tyres out of every corner.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
