Interesting idea on those welds... were you just welding tabs for kicks & giggles, or do you have some secret science behind them?

 

well, I welded the gussets for the sway bar mounts because I'm getting a 1 1/8" sway bar and I read somewhere that with a thicker sway bar, those tabs bend under load, so I figrued I'd overkill it just to say I did it lol

The other side, well, I did that just because it looked like it wanted to be welded lol

I'm picking up the powder for them tomorrow finally!

 

makes sence

 

ugh, the pics came out blurry or too bright, I'll get better pics tomorrow in the sun so you can get the full effect of what's going on in here

 

got more gooder pics of the more gooder control arm lol

 

why glitter?

 

Glitter FTL

 

it isn't glitter, it's metalflake, and you guys are just jealous lol

 

bought these today:
Eagle_15x10.jpg?t=1263937716
for $133.61 from the junkyard

probably just going to sell them to a friend since they really aren't the look that I'm going for with my car

 

Sorry to hear about your fender mishap :-/ Im really looking forward to seeing your build through. I really need to tear down my suspension and clean everything up, yours looks great. I have S13 hubs/spindles/brakes, I just need to pick up some S13 coils :-D

What wheels are you going with?

 

to be honest, I don't think I'd go with the S13 crap, moves the wheels out too far and you'll amost certainly have to run a staggared set of wheels (you may like, but I don't)

and I guess I could post these here as well lol
test fitting FTMFW.

first pics with no spacer:




the last two are probably closer to my final ride-height

and these are with a 1/4" spacer (I think I'll order my wheels with this offset, just to one up my friend now :P ):





wheel specs:
15x10 -44---205/60-15

I sold these already, because I want 14x10's, with a more baller offset lol
and the brand will be secret on this forum until I get them :P

 

^^ Thats still a pretty baller offset lol

Is this welded at all or is it just sitting on that little spacer ring?

 

it was just sitting on that exhaust tube, hella ghetto-rigged, I know, but it worked :P

 

Did this today along with a couple parts for my dad:




moar 'flake FTW

 

Are those the Eagle Alloy 15" wheels? Anyway if so, they were the same wheels. That were stolen out of my yard a while ago. Burns me still, when I think about it. They had center caps, that were held on by a big phillips screw. They were pretty nice shape. I only have one left. Which I can't figure out, why they took three. And left the one behind. Stupid idiots!

All aside, good work. Making progress, I am a long ways at the moment. Nice to see somebody getting somewhere with their Z.

 

So who is guna give me some lulz for this? I mean, I got it at home waiting for me, Along with a new alum radiator, and a army bonus. I mean come on, how hard will it to be to find a M50D transition, thats all i am missing now. And yes it's for the Z people. come on

 

What does that have to do with my build? lol I turned this into my build thread after a while :P

got a small update:

pics of the valvecover




undercoated the fenderwells and stuff too
(before)

(after)


I think I ditched the idea for Z32 calipers again lol I'll probably just use stock stuff because I know it works...

 

Lol, use stock brakes until they fail and send you into the guard rail at 120mph at 3am, right? That was a fun 4 hour hike that morning.

 

lol no, I think I only went over 120 once, and that was on a straight stretch of highway in the middle of the day, nor am I ever driving at 3am :P

I am going to get braided lines and rebuild the calipers though, one's leaking as it is anyways so I kinda have to lol

 

hey im still curious give us the scoop on the accident!! im mostly curious and kinda want a lol


just tell us...

 

I'll tell it to you in the other thread..

 

I think he was talking about my accident lol

and too bad :P

 

This car is so ghetto fabulous. I love it! Stick on wheels weights...... on the lip. Makes me smile.

You need to keep those wheels and paint them with a clearcoat mixed with rainbow metallic.
