ProZac Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ahhhh, how does it drive you ask? Well... I have no idea. Still waiting for my drag link to come back from being reconditioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 From a view to aesthetics, I'd say it certainly needs to go lower, but if it aint functional and you're driving it a bit then stick with what you have. Would look sweet another inch or so down. How close are the various undercarriage/exhaust bits to the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 shit that looks so sweet! cant wait to get mine driving agian. reckon you could get any wider than a 9" on the rear? i was gunna buy those wheels but will have to get something different style but similar size now.

ProZac Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Just get em man, they're cheap enough, quality doesn't seem too shabby either. Could definately squeeze a 10 under the rear, but would need to be careful of offset, and probably require some guard rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Never found the spacers man Car is looking great. Nice job with the radiator, just recored one of mine ($220) but the Silvia one must be a heap lighter? Mine is now running 8's all round and tracks abit but not annoyingly so, need to reco my centre drag link also. Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cheers man. The alloy one is pretty light, but the quality of them leaves a little to be desired... Still, one is cooling DJZ's 280zx, so I'm sure my little Starion wont tax it overly much. We deal with Znoelli through work, so I can get them to make up some spacers for me. I'm thinking 20mm on the rear actually, after considering it, 25mm might just be that little too much... I bought that guard roller, need to put it to use! .

ProZac Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Oh, and would love a picture of it sitting on the 8's all round! that must look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Paint that front guard! Looks rad lower. You do a good job with your cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah, that guard does look a bit naff being all matte and shit. It had a clear coat on it when i got it, but it all came off when the steam cleaner hit it, eugh. I need another passengers guard ideally, will paint both, the later side vents, and three piece spoiler all at once Chur bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looks boss on those wheels - also chuck some rubber like a cut in half bicycle tube between the lower bracket and the bottom of the radiator - if its even slightly loose the 2 pieces of alloy will rub against each other and wear a hole pretty quickly..

ProZac Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Chur. Should have mentioned, I glued some 3mm foam rubber to the bracket, so it holds the rad snugly on sweet cushiony goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Re 8's all round, fronts are shp 8's, not much different to look at. Need some slip on spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must hold on to this feeling and remember it when something just isnt going right with it, hah." Make a sticker of this^ and put it next to the bonnet release.

felixx Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Zac I have some 5mm slip on spacers if you want em, I could drop em into work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Alex - Hah, yes, that would work wonders. Just remind me of my writings when I;m cursing and swearing at it for some reason . Felixx - Chur man, but it seems to all be okay for the moment, the tyres just kiss the locking nut on the struts, but after a coupe of hundred of k's of driving today, there isnt even a mark. TBH it would probably be fine like this, but I've already committed to the 15mmF and 20mmR bolt on spacers, hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Must say Zac, was suitably impressed, rather like this car indeed. By the time you're done, will have one hell of a tough stance about it! Was brilliant working on a car with new bits, makes it so so easy to do it by hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Cheers bro. Yeah, new stuff is always nice, will have to sort out a time to take you for a skid . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
