And some more progress.

After forever of having my car lowered, I never adjusted the rear toe. No wonder my car drove like a steamy bag of moist dong.

Got to adjusting this POS. Maxed that joint out like a mod'fuk.

Collarz are dumb. Then finally got to do my rear springs on the coils. Shit took like 10 minutes each side. Didn't have to pull the whole coil off. *SHWING*

And lastly, lowered the shit out of the front and ran into this problem. Gunna have to do some custom shit on this shit now.

Edit: The sledgehammer's name is Stanley.

Ohhhhh.. I thought the title of the thread meant it would take a long time to build, not that you actually wanted to drift slowly. Lookin good!

I have a major groove scraped into both diff mounts haha.

And a STACK of destroyed axles. I can NOT get the boots to stop ripping.

LorenzoBayuga 10-09-13 01:56 AM

Awesome progress man, this thing is nuts!

beachFC 10-09-13 07:29 PM

Yo Angel!

Did the rear overs sit the fender lip any lower down? Like on s13's when they rock overs, they can fuckin tuck 15's and shit?? I hope you understand that. Not sure how to word it haha

yes overfenders make you look lower haha

AngelsAndBombs 10-10-13 12:54 AM

Actually wondering because I tuck rim, and it constantly smacks the rear fender lip. Wouldn't want to spend $300 on overs, and then destroy them hahaha

joshuaput 10-10-13 03:10 PM

um you know you cut the stock fender junk out right? also you can install overfenders so they are lower.

Um. Yeah, I know that they don't just sit on the outside, and cause a giant wheel gap.

I plan to install them, and space my wheels out accordingly. NOT raising my car, so the wheel lip, and fender will basically be at the same point as they were before... Where they were slamming into eachother constantly. Don't want to bust up $300-500 over fenders for the sake of ride height.

But I do understand why you said that. There seem to be a lot of people that don't understand simple things around here.(me being one of them in some ways)

Premiumriceonly 10-10-13 07:21 PM

oh btw that rubbing issue of yours got me curious so i looked at my axles and i seem to have about an inch of clearance between it and the crown mount but mine isnt flipped like yours so if you put it on with the spike things facing down it may give you some room.

in the end its just rubber so its just rubber so its not a big deal if it rubs a little

AngelsAndBombs 10-11-13 03:17 AM

Yeah fuck it. Im use to no rubber anyway.


Premiumriceonly 10-11-13 05:53 PM

A raw dog and a ludacris reference. You win points with me sir

kagoostin 10-11-13 10:44 PM

So what's the correct way to install the pbm diff mount? I put the larger side on the bottom of the diff holding it up but I see others doing vise versa?

Premiumriceonly 10-12-13 02:01 AM

flange goes on bottom correct. see my thread for pics
