The LS1 would be lighter would it not?

All alloy. :)

With all the rest of the bs there i doubt the f/r weight balance has improved at all. Its still more than twice the capacity of a 2.5, double the turbos etc. more pisons more rods etc etc. Just because the block is alloy doesnt make it all good.

A rotor would have been a better choice

However if it did end up with a weight balance same as stock or better i would be a huge fan :happy:

btw gotta love the chopped rad support :)

Also im sure cars like this are great at getting people from both worlds together and into their workshops spending money. But how great will the car be in a drift comp, i dont rem the pink s15 every achieving much...

an ls1 weighs about 400lbs, where as the RB weighs around 700lbs

it is only as long as an I4, so it sits further back in the engine bay

so not only is the whole car lighter, there is better weight distribution.

no matter what way you try to skew it, it will come out lighter

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
