really contemplating painting my LIM, or just polishing it. it seems less intricate than the upper, and i think paint will get messed up pretty fast down there with the heat.
use mass amounts of a good top coat though |
buckey, do you still have the coilovers? our pm'ing has been messed up in the past so i'm just gonna ask on here.

just grabbed my spindles from forrest. hooked him up on a baller stainless Apex-i Exhaust.
i need to drop the lower balljoint, and extend it outwards still to help with clearance. going to spray these up tonight, and post more pics! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01268.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01269.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01266.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01267.jpg finally will be able to roll my car onto the trailer and take it to the new shop, and start cutting out the floor pan, and making it into a bro-truck. |

UPDATINGSSS: you can never go wrong with Cusco Blue Metallic.. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01276.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01277.jpg getting ready to throw the brakes on, and get it rolling so i can take it to the shop tomorrow and start cutting the back end off! |

looks great.
|
thanks! tried taking my time this time with all the paint/prep. i still get lazy easily though lol
so i threw on everything. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01289-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01291-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01292-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01294-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01295.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01282.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01287.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01286.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/DSC01285.jpg i have a TON of angle left still. i didnt have anyone to hold the wheel AT lock. the wheels were bottoming out on the front/rear frame rails (both sides turned each direction) so until i space them, thats all i have. also i have cut PS tie rods, so i gotta pick up factory un-cut tierods to adjust my toe straight and that should make it better than Conrads Hankook Camaro. the tierod end is practically on the rotor but not hitting. i need to get either a 50mm bolton spacer for the front, or just stack 2 25's to get it to clear. (or buy wheels, but that's going on later) once i get it running i'll post videos. i'm really excited to give these a try. |
Yo Buckey, I've got a pair of 50mm and a pair of 30mm ... if you want either or both pairs, let me know, $50/pair and they'll be in the mail.
Progress is looking good man. That is some killer angle. |

I believe they're 12x1.50, I'll have to double-check ... had them on my Starion with Gorilla lugs. How many 25s do you have? We can work out a trade deal I think.

haha random! lol that name is pretty uncommon, or so it seems anyways!
Goals for this week are to track down some aftermarket fuel rails, and figure out what to do as far as re-locating my lower balljoints outwards, or what to do about them.. search option on this forum shows nothing but forsale threads these days. |

I solved one problem for you: http://www.risingrpm.com/products/pr...rail_set_a.asp Ball joints are easy to do, get ready for STUPID amounts of camber though either way i gotta pick some spare ball joints up, and i'll probably swindle your idea on lengthening them and try it out. i saw a photo of someone who lengthened it vertically also to clear the tierod. i'll try to show pics in a few minutes. thanks for the rail kit. i saw that and need to email them to see if i can get just the rails instead of that ugly ass oil block/fuel line holder deal. |

here's some photos of why i'm trying to relocate shit.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01291-1.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC01292-1.jpg what to do about the angle of the tie-rods? should i mount the rack higher up almost to the frame rails? or should i have the spindles re-cut and lowered like haraguchi's 326power spindles?? easiest would be to mount the rack higher. *no im not raising the car. not an option* as for the balljoint issue: should i lengthen it, and make spacers to drop it lower from the control arm mount to help with the tierod angle issues? obviously that will raise the front slightly, but the camber plates i got should fix that as the factory upper mount is 3" thick where the camber plates are about 1" at best. this balljoint setup is what i was trying to ask about. the balljoint looks taller, and the bracket looks slightly lengthened. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...t/DSC03030.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...t/DSC03022.jpg |
^^ wow thats serious angle
