Thanks guys! Chris, I saw some of his videos recently. It looks like the track marshals down there are idiots leaving oil spills on the tracks :(
purdy! Did you polish her up for us? :pQuote:

Still need to paint the roof and back half and probably re-clear the whole thing. The tires are horrific looking, they could definitely use some tire shine. The underside of my hood is still mostly red, so I need to get some black gelcoat or something on that. I'm going to have to get larger lighter wheels for bigger brakes. I'm not sure if I'm going to add a spoiler or not. Apparently I'm buying windshield wipers on the installment plan.
Look what I spy in my little mirror :p

well I like it, I just don't like that you'll be stuffing your wheel-bearings and have very little suspension travel before contacting the panels
"stuffing wheel bearings"? i have practically the same amount of rubber in the well as stock--the only "addition" is a little extra rubber outside.Quote:

I like it, with the side skirts on it will look very nice, the fact that they are not there is why it looks so tall.
Any more pics?
you like this look? :DQuote:

let me see if i can find a good pic of mine...
coilovers tend to have very little travel...not a fan, you could get longer travel ones though which'd be cool...but you still have the rubbing issue...Quote:

from a few months back. i now have 7/16" spacers up front, as the tt brakes won't clear anything short of toothpick sized spokes.

but inside centerline is ok? htf does that work? i understand the rationale behind it; but at the same time, if you start with 45mm offset (inboard) and you now have an identical amount inboard, and just added a bit to the outboard, how does that "stress the bearings"?Quote:

with the ride set to the softest setting, the ride on my d2's is pretty much identical to the stock non-ecs struts i had on previously. the rear is a "tad" firmer, but it's not uncomfortable. i could barely fit 1 1/2 fingers between tire & fender in the rear before; and i had the fender score marks on my tires to prove it. i now have a solid fist of gap; and i'm happy with that.Quote:

Looks good just needs a 4" drop and fender flares
just picked this one up
think i'm just going to use it for parts
bodywork might be more work than its worth

That's sexy.Quote:
