Did more work on the car...or rather "in" the car. Just touched up on the interior a lil bit....and a lil on the exterior actually. got the front end plus doors and trunk, polished,buffed and waxed. Treated the windows to some waterspot remover and Rain x ( works GREAAT). Attempted to clean carpet using nearly 15 y/o cleaning solution (which worked) but not pristine...but at l east i got all the random remnants of my aunt's mess out. :gaah:

Image




Yes sir...the 14's ass all up in the air getting her tires switched..:beer2:

Image



This beast snuck up on the kid and nearly gave him a heart attack...so we burnt the ish'...:eek:mg:
Image

SMALL UPDATE!


I picked up a few parts from a guy i meet on a local forum...

Supposedly this is a Cusco bar, but i highly doubt it.....there's no engraving anywhere....supposedly .."the sticker got taken off"......:scratch:..

Image



Image


ell i got that bar^ and this here bar for $20 bucks. looks ebay....but w/e...beats paying for shipping. will upgrade to legit GTSpec or something later...
Image


and i picked up these Tokico lowering springs. $40 bucks. supposedly they have only 300 miles on em...:scratch:....but w/e they look okay.

Image


So next update in the future will (hopefully) be of the car and inch or whatever lower and a bit stiffer. if you're wondering, these springs are going on the stock struts. like i said.....pockets ain't deep.:lol:

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

So the other day 240kid and myself threw the lowering springs on the car. Initially i was gonna rent out a spring compressor kit from Checkers (O' Reiley) or NAPA. But they we're asking 60 bucks as collateral.....which i didn't have :gaah:

So the kid called up his cousin, and we drove out bout 20+ something miles and picked one up.

Here is pics of the install:

Initial measurement of the rear.


Image


Brakes off and strut removed. That's moisture from a leking power steering hose:gaah:

Image


This is what the stock strut compared to Tokico spring looks like........compressed.
Image


HOLY MOTHER OF *****
Image

:lol:

so during the install 240kid was using this:
Image


so in a fight of Bolt v.s Impact gun:

Image

isn't that all sort of f***ed up?:lol:

well anyway here is the front driver side completed:

Image


and here's me working on the rears:

Image


AND FINALLY: THE END RESULT:

Image

Image

Image


So i got a fender gap of 3 fingers in the rear:
Image


and two on the front:
Image


and some camber/other pics:
Image

FRONT:
Image

Rear:
Image


This is what my tire and fender lining looks like when it's slightly turned:
Image

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Image



AND finally as promised, random shots from the night of the install. This is after i took it for a few slides up our local "touge".:rockerdud

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


and a random pic the kid took of me taking a piss::beer2:
Image


that's all for now 240sxforums. next update....mmm not too sure. i really dunno what's next for the coupe. i'm still in the process of cleaning it up some. so perhaps more shots of the car a bit cleaner will follow. thanks for stopping by for now! :dancer

Haha, didn't think you'd post the last pic :p

Drop was about 1.5" Front and ~1.0-1.5" Rear. I didn't measure the Rear yet but front brought it down 1.5"
My thoughts on the spring, nice drop, too soft. Sadly over 90% of the Springs sold out there for our chassis at least are mis-matched. Take these for instance, 1.5" Drop but the Spring rates are only 10-20% Stiffer then stock (According to Tokico). Suspension travel was about 1.5-2.0" before using the bump stops, which now is very often. The only springs I think suiteable for these kind of drops are the RS*R Race Springs and the MR Springs. KG/MM's also but nobody knows about em ;)
But he is planning on coils so, meh...

I'm just glad the gun didn't explode. Stupid me still used it after it separated :p lmao (eh dummy)
