AndyGal Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Is it certed yet? I want to see full slam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi-ichi Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 no sadly, stoodent life sucks ass for getting things done. When NicT saw me the other day, i was taking it for a test drive with my mate in the car (hes 100 odd kg) to see if it would bottom out more than it does etc... so sadly it seems that with anyone else in the car, the dumb 55s on the rear hit the top of the arch / guard which won't get me a cert. I'm going to just cop it and get myself a set of Falken 195/45s for cert, they will add slam and get rid of guard clearance issues at the same time. I have NO clue why I didn't do it to start with, it was probably something to do with being scared of too much low and getting stuck, now idgaf haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hachi-ichi Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Update. (pictureless unfortunately ) So I purchased a set of 45s all round, they will be on the car very shortly which should provide some Fukuoka specification LOW to my car. The keepers still have 20 mm of low left in them fortunately too which means maximum slam on 15s for my car looks to be around 60 mm F and R. My exhaust will lunch itself at just the idea of this much low which is why some time next week I'll be visiting TTT to get it pulled up, while I'm there I'll get the brake hoses attached properly to the struts which will mark Everything on the list of cert issues attended to properly ~ Once all of that is sorted, it will be time for that cert.. again. The eventual look of my car ( i hope ) should resemble Kazu's Cresta, the Papanpu Squadron 81 has headed in a pretty extreme direction so I can't really say I'm using it as inspiration haha. Kazuki's has decent amount of low yet he has kept it fairly road friendly and road car looking. Im not finished with the interior yet too, full Showa specification details and necessities will be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hachi-ichi Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 You've seen my garage, I have it pretty good and if I need to park, then on the street it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Didnt you say it already scraped going down your drive? Or is that just your exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 And just spray paint around the ends of the boards to make it faster setting up g.I wouldn't leave it on the street..but maybe thats just me? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi-ichi Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sorry, I meant that my driveway is 100 % fine ( its flat ) however If I go anywhere and need to park but find out the car park is unaccessible then I'll be forced to park on the street. and yeah Kurt, the zorst scrapes on the lip of my flat garage entrance...

ANT Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 oh lol. Changing to skinnyer tyres and lowering this thing is going to make a huge difference to the overall look. Should be swell. Nats2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I wouldn't leave it on the street..but maybe thats just me? wish i had the option, /a garage also this thing is gonna be fucking sweet, zaust can fuck right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi-ichi Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Once it's certed and only then will I start committing to more meets and even OSNats, This car has a way of throwing up blocks in front of me when I get close to cert haha. I don't think I've currently grasped the idea of 60 odd mm myself, cruising across Auckland to get the zorst raised is going to be brighter than Chinese New year for the cars following me.
