chees- Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 So if I get you a can of hot pink paint, you'll paint the bumper with it?Sweet... you'll need roughly 3 cans, and 1 primer(i've already got one, and i think 2 will do), although i might 'temporarily' matty b it in the next few days so might not need primer also sam, i've definitely thought about selling it, but i'll regret it. i'm the same with woman, i suck at letting them go plus on a good day i love it and get shitloads of fun out of it, and will have 3 months to pull it off the road and rebuild it in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Looks good man - keep like that or possibly get some tyre stretch happening. Just don't fuckin park it on your street - how many cars have been wrecked down there now?? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Was amazed at how low this thing is in real life at Burger Fuel last night. I thought I was standing next to a Civic! Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 what width are rims? pics above make tyres look a bit more balloon spec than last night? You said tyres were 205/50's yeah? When you got the original alignment done was it pre/post slam and how different is the height now compared to then (seeing you had to raise then re lower it) This might be your issue with steering geometry and the new wheel/tyre combo just amplifies it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 that was my ex's bloody street, not going back there needs moar slam, like heaps more last alignment was post slam on 175/65-14s(5.5 +45ish), i have since lowered the back an inch or so and switched to 205/50-15 semi slicks on wider and lower offset wheels(7 +35), did some 'tests' on the way home, basically what happens is it doesn't return to centre, it does the exact opposite it pulls you harder an further into the turn, when you hit bumps it dives into a turn and then above ^ keeps trying to turn in further, so i've gotta wrestle with it to keep straight. definitely think its alignment, but if its not i'm guessing tie rods?

Brock-Lee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Shit I laughed when you drove over that little wall at like 20ks. What are the wheels? Cant see them on my screen hah/was that the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I bet you will find the toe angle is really high if it's spinning the steering wheel round on you. Toe out in my experience. Toe In would make it twitchy as. This could very much be caused by a tie rod end issue if there's something up in that department. But changing offset wheels fucks with all that anyway, changing the leverage angles etc... But be glad your tyres don't look cheap...
