bLinded_ Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Looks great Marvis. Love the 2 tone paint job and front lip. More neg offset should toughen it right up :) Quote
adam-__- Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Long list of mods there mate. Wider wheels and she'll look awesome. :) Quote
marvis Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks guys :) I have 7's on the rear and it scrubs like crazy haha. Need to flare the guards a little bit.. Quote
Mybowlcut Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Dildo shifter? Hello kitty? Haha. Awesome car... nice paint... what do you call that when it's got two colours? What shocks and springs would you buy if you could? Quote
marvis Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 ^no idea. two tone? Probs sierra's in the rear as i'm running ~170mm springs. Would probs get spja or OCS springs for the rear, 6KG. Front, TRD or some brand of MR2 shocks. With 8KG Custom Compact or undecided springs. Quote

marvis Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Because my rears have to be really short stroke and TRD don't make a really short stroke from my knowledge (which isn't much). I haven't really looked into it. As for the springs i would probably go Custom Compact all round as they are local, but i think they only make coilover springs. Maybe spja for springs..

adam-__- Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Sierra shocks are REALLY short. You've seen pics of my car's height out back (well at least I think you have, you posted in my thread :hmm: ), it takes the factory jack probably 2 whole 'proper' turns for my tyres to lift off the ground? Something like that. They keep the springs captive, they're about 180mm or so in free height. There's barely any bump in the shocks, but heaps of rebound (edit: I might've got that the wrong way around. :) ). Edited July 15, 2008 by adam-__- Quote
marvis Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 Sweet, thats what i need. Thanks for the info :) Quote
marvis Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I lost my license today.. Got done for unsafe vehicle again.. Lady was like, do you have an exhaust? ME: it fell off yesterday, I'm getting it fixed tomorrow (zomg lies) Her: the car looks a bit low, did you do that? (cross member is ~50mm or so from ground) me: i bought some springs off a guy because my old ones where soggy, it's too low, i don't like it and I'm getting some new ones this weekend (moreeee liieeess) her: those tires are a bit bald me: i have new ones in the back (had rims on my backseat) i just need wheel nuts for them, which is why i was just a bobjane. She later said 'oh that car looks about standard height' i won't put it on the ticket' she got me to turn my wheel so she could take a pic of my tires and my guard was sitting on my wheel hahaha. Don't know how she didn't notice.. So yay, i will probs put a 4AGE in it while I'm off the road.. Edited July 17, 2008 by marvis Quote
