Car on jackstands. 12-foot length of steel pipe tied onto something solid at one end or the other (usually bumper support).... tied in a way so that I have lots of leverage to the side. Simply stand on the pole, and observe the testing of the car's torsional rigidity. You'd be surprised how little force is needed to twist a chassis. Especially a cavalier. And in regards to my weight 'problem' the hyperthyroidism is still rampant, and I refuse to go on medication for it. So yeah, I'm still a light-weight despite my ridiculously calorie-and-protein right diet. Stupid thyroid. scott |

So yeah, I'm still a light-weight despite my ridiculously calorie-and-protein right diet. Stupid thyroid. scott I was considering testing my car the way you mentioned (except I would secure the rear support points so that it couldn't lift off the jack stand) but I figured that I wouldn't really want to know that information or else I'd knowt just how bad of a car I'm working with. Did you end up calculating the amount of force required to twist the chassis? If you knew your weight, and knew the length of the bar, and had some way of the degree of twist, then it should be easy to calculate. And tell your thyroid to straighten the out... at least you don't make up 10% of your car's total weight, like I do. Maybe that's why your Cavalier was so quick... power to weight ratio yo |

4A-GE swap? Who knows. Leaning towards a 4E-FTE right now (JDM Starlet Turbo)..... but the 4a-ge is cheaper to swap in, just requires a bit more work (something like putting a B16 in an EF, only 10 years ago when there weren't aftermarket mount kits available). Anyways, I'll be out and about racing cars that shouldn't be raced this summer. |
maybe im lost but jdm? is it just me or is it lhd? why do people keep calling lhd cars jdm, unless it used to be a rhd car and it was converted then fine, or else its a usdm like everyone else.
