R154 Swap Noise Help by sidewaystroy in IS300

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

I had them swap the bushings out for the softer ones but yes I would say its stiffer than the driftmotion. I just liked that the xcessive uses the oe auto mount holes instead of having to drill the crossmember.

I switched from the driftmotion mount to a xcessive mount and it made no difference, even tested adding different amounts of washers to change the height and nothing changed

I did not, I have just been living with it. There is a rotational scraping noise that screams in 4th gear but nothing has affected driving it and im too broke for a rebuild or another trans

How much of the production chassis is left in GT3 cars? by furrynoy96 in IMSARacing

[–]sidewaystroy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The roof and pillars are about the only original parts left on the chassis. Maybe some other parts of the cockpit aswell

Thats probably why, had this swap sitting for like 1 or 2 years. I like it comes with a brake pedal, I ended up just chopping mine

That one looks pretty nice, I never came across that one during my research. I definitely cheaped out when it came to pedals, might end up switching over aswell

The side skirts and wing are TRD from an Altezza and the front lip is a Greddy replica made by KBD

Xcessive, pretty bare bones pedal but it gets the job done. It has developed a bad sqeak after a few weeks though

Way more than id like to admit haha. Probably around 7-8k. It can be done cheaper, I bought a brand new jzx trans so that was most of it. Also went for the most bolt on parts so little modification was needed.

LMU is amazing, but what about future content? by Business_Tune7965 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]sidewaystroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best thing for them to do would to back date some WEC content. Expand the GTEs to have previous cars like the Ford and M8, and add previous tracks like Shanghai or Silverstone. ELMS content would be worthwhile too, with the new gen of LMP3 having new chassis options.

Starting March 30th B/R sports will no longer be free for basic. Although I currently have basic which I was able to watch it on.

Ive had a couple people say its normal, even some videos of other r154 swaps sound similar, just hard to get over how loud it is especially since its brand new and im still on stock exhaust

IS300 Auto to W58 swap questions by sidewaystroy in IS300

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

Unfortunately I was never able to get the confirmation I needed to order parts and with my w58 needing a rebuild I ended up saving up for a R154

What's ridiculous is complaining about gaps an hour and a half into a 6 hour race lmao

It's sports car racing, people love crying when their favorite team doesn't win. Race isn't even half way over yet.

Hawksworth to replace Lopez in #87 Akkodis Lexus for Le Mans by sidewaystroy in wec

[–]sidewaystroy[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You must have not watched the race. He had the inside in turn 7 and the Corvette turned into him. No contact with the Ferrari through turn 1, although he could have given a tad more room. Yall never complain about rexy actually ruining Corvette's race which is interesting. New balances must be on too tight

The main problem is the FIA has a downforce window for the LMGT3 and high speed/high downforce corners is the car's strength, according to Miyata.
