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

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

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

small update
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

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.
