Aaron Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 good choice on wheels. get them powder coated a bright 80's Fluro pink or yellow black wheels just look like big black dots to me. unsure about sticker bombing and rainbow nuts- a little too loud and proud for me... but if being openly gay is your thing then all good. Actually, I was thinking of painting these white. Fluro colors are for the future Widened Steels. Oh and the stickers and wheel nuts are all part of the plan. But regardless, wanna grab dinner some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 **UPDATE** So I managed to finish 1 door card off, and this is what it looks like. I might respray the top half primer, but not sure yet. Also, the springs and struts arrived. BUT! I tried fitting them this morning, and they didn't fit They are off an EF Civic so I assumed that they would work. When I have the strut screwed into the tophat bit, the spring rubs on the inner guard bit. So not too sure what to do there, any help would be appreciated.

DB8-TypeR Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Strange, your Shuttle IS an EF and its front end is the same as an EF hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well technically it fits into the strut hole thingy, but it rubs against the dust shield thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Alright, so I finished and fitted the second door card. But I think I might go with a gunmetal grey for the door cards now. Also, I am a HUGE n00b and was putting the suspension in wrong, so now it fits BUT, still no low. So I looked on the tag that came attached to one of the springs, and it turns out they are just factory springs But not to worry, at least I know now that I just have to get lowering springs and extended top hats for low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 can you measure the width and length of the front springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah I can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 So the springs on the new and old shocks are both 27cm x 7cm. So I'm on the hunt for EG Lowering Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
