  1. DJ, just to clarify I am Not making light of all your hard work. You did a great job and I understand it did take a lot of time and effort, and was most definately not bolt on. The a-arm idea popped into my head while reading what you had done. And I was just curious if you had thought about it and if so what your opinion was.
  2. Ok, I'm not too knowlagable about suspension setups, I find suspension somewhat intimidating. But your conversion has caused me to spend alot of time online lately doing some research. So I have a few questions for you (and anyone else); Now, would a negative camber (unequal) A-arm setup be possible with the 240 rack & pinion on the Conquest? If so, would it have to be custom made, or would it be possible to use a unequal A-arm setup for a 240? If it did need to be custom made, what are the variables that need to be considered? I figure unequal A-arms are the best suspension tech. to date, so for the serious performer, why not? Especially since: "Most factory vehicles have compromised suspension geometry and several problems can occur when a car heels way over in a turn. First, the suspension can gain positive camber. This is worse in cars with McPherson strut suspensions. With strut-type suspensions, the car rolls, but the tires don't. This forces the tire to roll onto its outside edge and reduves its contact patch - clearly not the best way to use a tire."(http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26050) *I'm not trying to hijack the thread, if needed I can post this seperately*
  3. Ok, I have: intercooler off of an 86' Conquest: make offer Greddy Profec B EBC: $100 Greddy Turbo Timer: $50 Everything is used, but in great shape. I'll get pics up in a few days. Rene motorcyclecuban18@msn.com
  4. Hello, I'm looking to purchase a stock FMIC. Hit me up if you got one. Thanks in advance
  5. I have one. How much were you looking to spend?
  6. Ok, thanks for all the emails and responses guys. I worked out a deal with Kreal for a TB. So I'll get the Vac. Adv. and TB thrown on and hopefully that'll correct my problems. Thanks again, for all the responses.
  7. Hey! Autozone came through, the Vac. Advance was only $40 and it got here next day.
  8. I just looked up the Vac. Adv. on Advanced Auto Parts, yea they want more like $68.99 (GP Sorensen), $76.99 (Standard Motor Products), and $89.99 (Niehoff). Cheapest I've found is Misupartsdirect.com, $55.04
  9. I'm in need of a Throttle Body and Vacuum Advance. Both in good condition. Pm me or email at; motorcyclecuban18@msn.com Thanks Rene
  10. If you still need one, I'll sell you mine. Email me at: motorcyclecuban18@msn.com
  11. How much for the the throttle body and vacuum advance? And do they function properly, I assume they would if the motor is recently rebuilt. But just checkin anyways. thanks.
  12. If "button" falls through, I'll take the collant lines, my return line is cracked.
  13. How many miles? Any shaft play, blow oil?
  14. Ok, so far by the time I get there, the Turbo is gone! Anyone else got something for sale? Please let me know!
  15. What about a not so good turbo? One that is rebuildable perhaps? If so, lemme know. Thanks
  16. My stock 12A/TD05 is going out and I attend school full time and work full time. So I can't afford the downtime of shipping mine off to a rebuild, so I'm trying to avoid that option if at all possible. I've been looking on the boards for four weeks, but I'm always one PM behind so far. 1.)I need a 12A/TD05 in good shape (no shaft play, leaks, or oil burning etc, etc). 2.)Or a 12A/TD05 that's in rebuildable shape and cheap (i.e. so I don't have downtime to have that one/spair rebuilt) 3.)Or any other turbo that has been modified to bolt on to a Conquest. PM, Email or call me at 419-699-0943. If I don't answer leave me a message. My Car is a 87' Conquest TSi (widebody). Thanks in advance for all your guys help, Sincerely Rene
