this time of the year its so cold and wet i had a nice day it was sunny as and the kids were not home all weekend so i decided to paint it while i could, pleased i did it has only gotten more cold and wet, it even snowed here witch happened like once in 10 years lol and to be honest bro the paint is 8nzd a can couldn't really care less about the paint lol

 

Whoa..your suspension geometry is wrecked. Why do you have it so low?

 

what do you mean its not that low apparently. i posted in drifting forum in thread about low fc's i thought it was low but turns out its not.

i like low cars my fist rx7 (a 12aturbo fb) was 47mm off the ground, its just how we roll over here buddy

 

Look at the angle of your lower control arms and tie rods..


Then look up 2 things. Roll Center and Bump Steer.

 

Coming along... I like all hate aside

 

i know what they are buddy. this is how low i want my car ok?

cheers

 

 

rears with 27mm hubsentric spacers made a huge difference, why only 27mm? could have pushed them out wider but 27mm is the legal limit over here, why spacer? because im broke and can not aford nice wheels, why so much camber? because car dosent go so when it dose go it will get a wheel alignment + layzy + cold
my rant for the day

 

There's a legal limit for spacers? weird.
Are these adapters (have their own studs) or spacers (slide over existing studs) ?

 

how are you planing on rolling your fenders?

 

yeah man buzzy right? i have no idea why though, yea they are the adapter style. **** slip ons they are a no no over here

with a hammer, heat gun and another can of paint lol

 

haha rangi as! but hey that's how id do it/did do it to fix the PO's horrible attempt

 

does a heat gun realy help alot?

 

yea bro hori as a lol but hey im just working with the tools i have and the money i have at the moment, oh man my last fc was butchered up by some **** i ended up buying wide body and cutting all the ugly out an welding it up i dont know what gos through some peoples heads to do body work like that, like the hole base ball bat trick **** that lol not keen to try on a fc maybe a little starlet or some thing but not a fc haha

yea man it really dose i have done many before the guard rolling tool came about you use a hammer with a soft plastic/rubber head and hold your palm on the out side to absorb all the impact, you can get special hammers with a big ball bearing in the head i have never tried one though use this video as a guide bro and you be sweet

 

nice I watched that video way back. I have to do that this week!

 

I just used a hammer and dolly but I was in the middle of repairing the whole body so cracking paint n what not didn't matter.

 

toke some rough measurements of the front of the car then went to a wreckers today to see if i could find a front lip that would fit. fount one that looked like it could fit off a 80s Mitsubishi mirage, hot it home hacked it up got it sitting pretty good.
how ever its to short on the sides


so i hacked up the s5 moldings i cut off the turboII side skirts and getting my dad to fiber glass them on


this is what it looked like needs some tweaking with heat gun and what not after i paint it etc etc but you should get the idea,


in other news i have finally got more paint coming have put most of the trim on and cleaned up a few things, selling the e6k haltech ecu pm if you want it. to buy the haltech sprint re
that's all for now

 

no pignose 240sx's in ur bone yards huh? i can't wait to get a pignose lip for my s4 bumper

looking good man, i still can't get over your paint color choice. i love it. j/s keep up the good work

 

there is hardly any over here bro i have found one in the last 2 years and i held off on it because the guy wanted $180nzd for it lol then when i finaly bite the bullet and deside to spend the $180 for it about 2 months ago he had sold it for $400 with the bumper lol. so i had to make do with this one i think it looks great though.

paint is ok im not a big fan of flash paint jobs and making every thing shiny lol, cheers bro

other than the lights and side skirts and front lip that just about wraps it up, onto bigger things like exhaust build and ecu wire in
oh and i want to buy these have to budget for them
17x9 18p Design r(white) x 4 | Trade Me
they look famillir? yes i had a set and i regret selling them!!!

 

i understand on the no pignose lips around, i can'tseem to find one here in florida either for a decent price, and by a decent price i mean for under $150usd for one that is beat up and cracked. i just can't justify paying that much for a cracked one. maybe i'll run a volvo lip?

anyhow, im not usually a fan of flashy paint jobs either (even though neon/lime green is my favorite color of all time) but yours looks more like a light olive green green. it's a lighter color but still subtle to me, at least in the pics.

im liking the wheels that your thinking about picking up, but then again i love the r32 wheels. are those gts-t or gtr size? just wondering lol.

 

they are just gtst's bro heaps over here they all ways good for back up skid wheels lol

 

bought a haltech sprint re off this awsome chap!!
