Read and drool.

 

How in the **** do most of you lower your cars. I've driven my car 2,600 kms since owning it in July and I've already had to fold my license plate back up so many times now. Knowing that if my car was lowered one more inch, I'd most likely smash the front lip. My car is at stock height with stock wheels and stock sized tires.



Do you just drive A LOT more carefully? Doesn't than make driving less fun? I want to get wheels soon and lower it with springs since it's a DD and I never track the car but I'm scared I'll destroy my bumper, especially since I also want a front lip.

 

well, most of us dont run front license plates, and you just have to learn how to sweep over speed bumps, and pay attention to the road conditions......that, and not give a **** about ripping up the front bumper/lip
i cant hardly go over a medium speed bump without sweeping over it, and i dont even have my kit on yet.....

gotta pay to play

You definitely have to change your driving style.. ie no 5mph speed bump rolls, leaving driveways as .001mph @ 45 degree angles, swirvin around potholes like a drunk driver, holding up people behind you at big dips etc.

You actually get used to it really quick.. took me like 1 day to master driveways and speed bumps

 

im not even that low, but going into a gas station once sideways I dont know what the guy behind me was thinking but he went to go around me- put quite the scare in me.
You just got to pay attention. I actually had to re-do my driveway this year since I went just another 1/2" lower there was no longer any combination of pulling out to get out of my driveway without scraping

 

I already do all these things, I just get unlucky once in a while making a left turn into a parking lot during rush hour to beat traffic, etc. The size of the speed bumps at some of the grocery stores here in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario are probably 3-4 inches tall and are more like bricks instead of humps.


Yeah, I hate Ontario for that. Cop asked why I had it attached with copper wires, but said at least it's visible, which is what the law says it needs to be. That, and on the front bumper, can't be on dash, etc.

A lot of people drive trucks here in Northern Ontario, probably 60-70% of vehicles are trucks. Most lifted as well... When I slow down for turns into parking lots or gas stations, or speed bumps, they always sit right on my *** and don't have any patience.

 

ah eyegasm. loving the intake and ic piping colours.

 

This is Stella.

 

Holy huge pictures, but it looks damn good!

 

 

Its do-able. Like others said, you become more aware of your surrounding. You just have to have confidence in your driving.

If you gotta go up angles like driveways, if you can, go up them backwards/reverse helps alot since it is alot easier on the front end when it scraps the ground. It will have a pull motion rather than push when they scrape, and for me that has been alot easier on body parts. The rear bumpers on bodykits usually have a higher degree of angle too.

 

That Reverse trick is cool, but I can raaarely ever do it.. and you don't usually have time to reverse into places like grocery store parking lots etc.

I have a kit on, and am like ~1" of the ground I find that going a little bit fast at a high degree angle is the easiest. The slower you go, the more friction you get, and usually when I'm forced to go slow, the bumper gets ripped off.. and when I smash into places going pretty quick, nothing happens at all, but it does rattle the nerves a bit

Also I dnt fly up the driveway like I might have made it sound, I slow down as soon as the front bumper clears the transition part of the driveways. And then creep into the parking lot until the car is in. God its a ****** hassle sometimes

 

Need this turbo in my engine bay

 

^plan on turbo-ing ur N/A or doing a tii swap? either way, really clean engine bay

 

was there any special reason why the intake is on the passenger side with the n/a? i understand it would be too crowded to have the intake, turbo, and exhaust all on one side but i dont know why it was flipped for the n/a.. seems like the exhaust heating up under the intake would be a bad idea.

 

^since the FC originally came with a turbo... my guess is that they didnt want to construct another intake box LOL

 

battery, power steering, and ac lines are on the other

Clean vert


My current 3 cars.
Vert about to get overs for the rear
GTUs that is about to get a front half bumper and maybe some front overs or a REA hood?












And this little little thing is going in something with a th400 behind it...

 

oh my ****** **** I'm in love.


what skirts are those? and tire sizes?

 

I've never understood the intentional make your car look like a junker look. with that aero and a clean paint job that car would look awesome.

 

Look like the Shine Auto RE replicas

 

Thieves won't give it a second look?
