Not to disrespect anyone here but has anyone else been paying attention to some of the news casts? I'd say the majority are VERY overweight, and the rest are all smoking cigarettes... As for the looters and the idiots shooting at the people trying to help.............. Leave them there to rot. Consider it cleansing of the gene pool.

The ugly woman would be enough to scare me away...........

Jesus H Fuckin Christ! How fucking hard is it for people to comprehend how bump steer works in relation to objects you hit on a trail/track/road/what ever WTF do you think is going to happen when you hit an object with one tire? This was taken from a website to describe how its caused and what it does A. Definition Bump Steer is when your wheels steer themselves without input from the steering wheel. The undesirable steering is caused by bumps in the track interacting with improper length or angle of your suspension and steering linkages. Most car builders design their cars so that the effects of bump steer are minimal. However, you must still take care to bolt on your suspension carefully so as not to create unwanted bump steer. Make sure that you are always using the correct components for a particular car. Bump steer must be designed into the car and cannot be adjusted out if improper parts are used or if pivot points are moved without considering bump steer design principles. In order to accomplish zero bump the tie rod must fall between an imaginary line that runs from the upper ball joint through the lower ball joint and an imaginary line that runs through the upper a-arm pivot and the lower control arm pivot. In addition, the centerline of the tie rod must intersect with the instant center created by the upper a-arm and the lower control arm (See diagram below). The instant center is an imaginary point that is created by drawing a line from the upper a-arm ball joint through the a-arm pivot where it is intersected by an imaginary line that extends from the lower ball joint through the inner control arm pivot. Where the two imaginary lines intersect is the instant center. Sounds complicated? Really it is very simple. To achieve zero bump the front end must be designed correctly. The tie rod must travel on the same arc as the suspension when the car goes through travel. Simply matching lengths and arcs to prevent any unwanted steering of the front tires. To exaggerate, if the tie rod were only 10" long and the suspension were 20" long then when the suspension traveled the tie rod angle would shorten much quicker than the suspension arc. In this scenario the tie rod would shorten much quicker through travel than the suspension and the car would toe in drastically over bumps. The shorter arc of the tie rod would pull on the spindle and toe it in through travel. Bump Simplified - When designing a car, if the centerline of the outer tie rod lines up with the centerline of the lower ball joint, and the inter tie rod lines up with the lower pivot point then the length and angle of the tie rod and suspension will be the same resulting in zero bump. Most car builders design their cars in this fashion. Check out google if you want to see what it is http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bump+steer There is even a link to a program on how to eliminate it. Its mainly for automobiles but also works on anything w/ 4 wheels.

neither could I

Jesus H Christ "BHQ should stand for Baby Sitting Headquarters....... Its no wonder why the GOOD members have left here.......... Waaa Waaaa my pussy hurts

Or winning 20% more races by having the mid range needed. Who said all races were in a straignt line up a hill?

broke instead of lowering port timing by decking the cyls, you could also alter it with epoxys. (go ahead and tell me thats wrong too sandstar) And I think the choice of words "detuning" is what pushed sandstar over the edge. Now to me I would call it nothing near that, but if we all had endless bank accounts like sandstar then it wouldnt be an issue. We all would have 2 or 3 machines with specific purposes at our disposal. Now after everyone has already spent the bank modding their banshee, who wants to go out, sell it for WAY less than you have into it and take a major loss, to then go out and buy a 7500$ YFZ and drop MORE into it? So how would spending 800-900.00 on a set of cubs, or even 1000.00 to get yourself gobs of midrange with still way more on top than stockers be a wrong choice? I'm sure we all wish we were as smart as sandstar, but as of yet I dont see any of his credentials, so why is it everyone is getting all worked up over someone that as of yet hasnt made any credible points?

Tell me this.... Who says you HAVE to deck the cyls to lower your port timing? I know of other ways, but why should I share my secrets? On another note. Who says that by lowering your exh duration a few degrees will hurt your top end THAT much? With the overall port layout on the Cubs, I honestly think you could get a much more ridable power curve without sacraficing top end. Just my 2 cents worth

I will take some pics tonight. I have 2 sets of lowers in good/decent shape.

I've got a pair... 50.00 shipped

Why would you have to use the clutch a hair? and what would make any difference in being fully or partially engaged with this mod? How do you make sure your fully in gear? As for beiing expensive? I did mine just like on that site and had a local machine shop chop them for me.. Only cost me a case of beer Hands down its been one of the best mods, espcially if your heavily modded
