Ask ALEX PFEIFFER Something!

TopSecret240 · 05-25-2005, 12:06 AM

Hey Alex I have a s13 that is lowered over 4 inches with welded diff and 0 offset wheels, it is hairy at high speed drifts right now and snaps around quickly because of the alignment(obviously we ran out of adjustment), anyway I just ordered all of your adjustable arms can you please let me know a good drift setup alignment? pm me if thats better.

Aiki-Drift · 05-25-2005, 08:25 AM

Wow. I'm honored that you would reply. I'm gonna just stop being a cheap bastard and spend the extra $30 bucks. It's Battle Version I want and it's Battle Version I shall have!! (insert sinister laugh here)

P.S.- It's still unacceptable on JSPEC's part; not answering multiple emails and fax. Don't forget the DON"T CALL OUR STORE policy. That can't be good for sales Mr. Pfeiffer. You should talk to them. It affects them mostly, but some costumers might decide to buy a cheaper product cause there's no response and they want to save as much as possible. Thanks!

AlexPfeiffer · 05-25-2005, 10:08 PM

Aiki-Drift, I know the guys (there are one 2 people who work at jspec performance) and I know how they are with customer service. Most of the time people are just trying to get JDM information from them since their business name is jspec, and it gets to the point they dont want to answer the phones anymore. They spend most of the days running around picking up and droping off parts to the local shops. Thats why email is best, but yeah, I dont see why they didnt reply if all you are trying to do is make an order.

TopSecret240,
A basic setup to start with would be -2 to -2.5 front camber with 0 front toe, for the rear, start off between -1 to -1.5 with a little bit of toe in.
I really need to do a write up on the 240's as far as suspension settings. I will work on that when i get a chance.

TopSecret240 · 05-26-2005, 06:08 AM

thanks i will use that for baseline setting with 1/8" toe in in the rear.

CrazyBadger · 05-31-2005, 07:34 PM

I was just looking at your site and I'm wondering why you do not have battle version products for the S2K?(at least for sale anyway)Is it because of the market...

j.r. · 06-01-2005, 07:27 AM

Alex,

Do you ever think you could beat me at poker?

See you soon buddy I had a blast this weekend!

LAter,

JR

AlexPfeiffer · 06-01-2005, 10:28 AM

CrazyBadger,
Yeah, I know, I really should make some parts for that car.

JR,
I'm going to get you next time you lucky SOB!!!!

pony · 06-01-2005, 11:40 AM

oh man, i wish you guys had more time here. then we could have a poker tourney or something.

CrazyBadger · 06-01-2005, 03:17 PM

Yea, i geuss. So you don't even have them for your s2k?

AlexPfeiffer · 06-01-2005, 09:04 PM

pony,
I'm always down for some poker. Maybe I should get a set of plastic chips to take on the road.

CrazyBadger,
Yes I did make some custom upper control arms for the RS*R s2k. I could always make a fixture and make more. List price I would estimate to be about $800 for a set of rears, $900 for the fronts. Not sure if there would be enough people to buy them at that price if I made more.

drifterd · 06-02-2005, 02:50 AM

sup man? hey i know u re adamantly against this. but i was really considering swapping an sr20 into my 86. i am in the poses of doing the s13 rear sub frame and diff as we speak. i ordered the kit from my friend in Tokyo. it should be her some time next week. but no matter how I look at it i just dont see my self building enough power in the 4ag. unless i spend ridicules amounts of money to reach the 400whp mark i am shooting for. were as an sr can reach that with stock bottom end. i only ask u because u are like the 86 man here in the US. and i value ur opinion. please let me know wut u think on this matter.

thanks

CrazyBadger · 06-02-2005, 08:10 AM

Yea thats what i figured, you had them but you didnt make them for the public because ther market

thanks

your spending ALOT of money to make an s13 with a shorter wheelbase

drifterd · 06-03-2005, 12:00 AM

ya but then it is still just an s13. 1 in a million. and i want to see a monster 86 just distroy a gto or viper. besides. a short wheel base s13 means twitcher and crazy angel.

hatebbobbarker · 06-03-2005, 01:50 AM

id rather build an FD

drifterd · 06-03-2005, 01:54 AM

ya wouldnt we all? but alex i would still like to here wut u have to say on this. that is y i posted on ur forum. so i could here from u.

AlexPfeiffer · 06-03-2005, 07:26 PM

drifterd,
I'm also thinking of doing the same swap, but I keep asking my self why would i do all that work for the same results for much less, and the only answer is that its still my ae86. I have gone way past my budget and keep spending money on a car that may never see another competition. Maybe you have to ask yourself if building it makes you happy. Sometimes its not about getting there, but about the journey.

kidynomite · 06-08-2005, 08:26 AM

Are you bringing your S2K to Drift Day Competition 4? Or just coming out to instruct and Judge?

See you in a few weeks.

Jaggorri · 06-08-2005, 09:43 AM

Alex-
Are you going to be at DD NorCal on July 2nd?

btw, nothing will ever be more pathetic then furbies, NOTHING.

Maybe pokemon ??? i dont know what was up wit that guy but the second i get my dream car (240) ill be puting battleversion on it

CrazyHawaiian · 06-13-2005, 07:04 AM

Alex, where is the best place to build a cheap drift track and live in the garage??

ZoltecRules · 06-13-2005, 09:11 AM

Alex, heard you will be at Drift Day Chicago Comp 4 up in Elkhart Lake, WI. Will you be there for the open runs on Saturday too or just the comp on Sunday?

AlexPfeiffer · 06-13-2005, 10:13 AM

CrazyHawaiian,
I'm thinking of switching to drifting RC cars. Then I could make a track almost anywhere.

ZoltecRules,
I think we leave on thursday night or friday morning, so yeah, I'll be there all weekend.

wannafc · 06-13-2005, 07:39 PM

Hey alex i was just curiouse
i have a nissan 240sx that im thinking of equiping with tein drift spec coilovers and there edfc controller i like the idea of having a electronicly controlled susspension and i was curiouse what your opinion of that setup is ??

also do you listen to music while your drifting and if so what kind

a tech question and a fluff question im of to watch the drift society vol 1 and marvel at your skilllazz lol

AlexPfeiffer · 06-13-2005, 08:28 PM

I like the tein HE's with the edmc. Makes it way easier to adjust your stuff.

I used to listen to hawaiian music when i drift, but laity the cars dont have a radio anymore.
