chees- Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you could get them out of the shock, it'd be the end thats easier to squish by hand, so if one was to go as far as cutting, they would want to cut the stiff end hmm but what if i want to make them stiffer? still a no no?

xsspeed Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 yep cutting the stiff end will make the spring stiffer overall. F=kx so you are decreasing x, so k (spring constant) increases From what the boes were telling me the numbered part on the springs, think yours must be 59 means the non progressive part is rated at 5.9kg/mm Cutting the progressive part I think does fuck all Brad/Mikuni or Roman covered a bit of a how to chop springs in their build threads IIRC If one of them or Spencer read this they could confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsspeed Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 they won't be captive in the shuttle shocks either what year is an eg civic? shouldn't be too hard to get some non-shagged shocks from one/new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Paint rear bumper and lower doors up to strip same as front imo. Needs something on the rear, looks a bit plain? Any of these have some sort of subtle spoiler? Looking good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 2nd pic has some pretty wicked depth of field, looks good, go lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the part that just compressess down on itself with the weight of the car, so removing it gains nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Also looks sweet, but white wheels suited it better. Go lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 agree on the back looking plain, not sure what to do about it, if i get it down enough that should sort it. definitely needs more low, will attempt to paint trispokes something better, gunmetal? pm sent to chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 2nd pic has some pretty wicked depth of field, looks good, go lower I am picking that is photoshopped, not even my f1.4 would do that. Has that tilt shift look to it. Stick with the white wheels, the only trispokes worth having are Super Advans or Advan A3A's anyway. But paint the white ones gunmetal, with a heavy metalflake and a super high gloss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 yeah has quite the tilt-shift look to it - I wouldn't know how to achieve that in photoshop let alone with a camera those tri's look good, but those 5 spokes suit it more I think - I just dislike the way the multistud is drilled on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
