any ideas rick on how to wire the oil pump?or does it come plug and play?

 

It comes plug and play. However, ARC needs to hire someone else to write up their installation instructions. They are completely garbage even if you can read Japanese.

 

good to know......i´m really looking forward to the installation of my oil cooler

 

Referencing the pics from this thread may help during installation. Vo also installed one as well.

Good luck:

yeah rick i would have never got mine installed without you and Vo.

 

thx rick

 

They are true rear coilover design. I am in the camp of believing that the OEM upper mounting area of the rear suspension is a bit weak to handle such a load, however I don't mind trying it on my setup since that area of my car is boxed in with my roll cage.

There is a thread discussing it here:

Rick,

How is the ride around town in the the stripped/caged car nowadays?
Noisy? surprisingly quiet? I've always been fascinated with the strip Z but have no idea how they sound inside daily driven, aside from in-car track videos.

 

I'm used to it these days. However, i'm sure it is loud for others that are used to full interiors and windows. My brother described riding in my car as if he was "riding on wheels" by itself.

Here are some videos prior to the full cage install and Amuse y-pipe. However, at this point it was already stripped so this will give you a basic idea on road noise:

 

when i was riding in a stripped out race car: all you hear are rocks.

basically everything hitting the bottom of the car going "Ting-Ting-Ting"

 

just removing all the crap from the rear hatch and all you will hear is rocks

 

Testing the Zeal suspension out. Definitely need a fender roll and another alignment. Thanks for all of the help Jeff!

 

needs more camber

 

Sick wheel setup Rick! I've got the same +12 setup coming soon but definitely can't be riding around with that much camber. What size tires are you running?

 

Half that tire isn't even touching the ground! What is that, -25 camber?

You crazy Rickdogg, I like you, but you crazy.

 

Thanks! Yeah, I actually want to push the wheels out a bit more. However, I will see how much once I get the suspension dialed in. I won't be riding around with that much negative camber in the rear. We just did that initially to give the car more clearance when dropping it since we knew it was going to be low lol.

I'm currently running Toyos...245/35/19 and 275/35/19

 

LOL That's why we were were cracking up too. I'm not sure what the camber was set at in the picture. We just did it for more clearance when dropping the car lol.

 

how long did you wait for those wheels? Or did you get hooked up. I didn't wait.

 

Nice...I got a new grinder...let me know if you want to borrow it to cut those fenders....

 

I received them the day I purchased them
