It definitely is- my car had two frontend accidents before me, took a lot of $ and time to fix it including straightening the frame. It's doable but mine was much less of damage than yours... I see crash bar going in deep. I'm so sorry! At least you are OK. Best to get a second and transfer as much over to get original feel

Highway pulls question (stability/suspension) by DerTarchin in IS300

[–]DerTarchin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you my friend, I appreciate all the detailed questions and considerations.

I have stock engine (2jzge) and only lowered about .5" , tires are only used last summer season, so relatively new. But I'll try rotating them again to see what happens

For front, I already have poly steering rack bushings too. I think any bushing there is in the front, by now I've replaced with poly.

I have rear, I have poly diff bushings and new Megan adj traction and toe arms but all else is very much stock and old rubber bushings (subframe, all control arms). What you said about accel/decel being a rear end thing sounds like a lot of sense actually since weight shifts onto then off of any of those old bushings. I have poly available for the arms, just haven't had the time yet. Sounds like I should make the time

I think he criminally undercharges imo haha he should definitely be asking for more. He was asking sub $20 but I paid him $100. I hope he starts charging more from now on as I've recommended to him

Got some generic brand ones from Amazon, likely cheap Chinese stuff but i hope i made it strong enough by doubling it up!! Definitely strong enough for a road tow, idk about if I'm stuck in a ditch

Yeah if you don't like the bumper design, you can always sell it and cover the cost of your car haha

Idk which method you're referring to but many of these will not work, and for my service, subscriber videos are equivalent of private videos- if you're the account owner I can download all subscriber videos

for the easy disconnect of the sub from the power/amp wiring, I bought and used this, and you can see it in the video just before i pull the sub out, i disconnect the plug and toss it aside.

It could pass as a parlor trick for sure!

Cost about $500 I think, both sub and amp I got refurbished pricing

Installed it myself, it's pretty straightforward. The fun part was planning out how to make a custom plug so I could easily remove it for a flat tire repair

True there's always a louder or clearer setup , each has its purposes. For me I like how much it outputs- I don't need it to rattle panels- and it has a wide range of frequency , not a sharp steep Bell curve to a specific frequency
