haha thanks man, these pics just remind me how much more room i have for poke and lowering.

sooo many things i want to do to the car, it just looks to me like "look at all the stuff im missing" ha

so my list of things to do visually are:

Days rear bar ad-on with black center

days carbon fiber frotn bar center cover

sideskirts of some description

dolphin front grill (still undecided)

dressy wheel nuts

twin chrome exhaust tips

eyelids

fix rust

slimline roofrakcs with thule wind deflector

also i have a colour scheme which i have admired since it blew up on the "scene" which will be the following

wheel nuts

brakes

rotors

engine bits

some subtle stickers

all in turquoise .... i.e...

combine these with some carbon fiber bits with my grey such as front bar inserts, wing maby...will look porn in my eyes

got some stop gap sollutions for my wheel nuts for the time being, before i can shell out $250 for project Mu nuts,

they look better than the crappy little nuts leaving big holes.

I've got my eyelids on with some double sided tape I picked up from Repco, apparently its designed for automotive use, its strong enough that I was pretty worried about breaking the eyelids when i had to take them off once lol. And they havent flown off the car after a few years, so thats something :P

Think it was just Repco branded, there were a few different types and brands different tapes at the store I was at from what I remember.

Although I also just remembered that the very first time I put my eyelids on i used double sided tape that I got with some Ikea furniture haha, it stuck pretty well too

I've got some very strong double sided tape Glyn, we used it at work. I've used it to stick side skirts on etc and its very strong.

I often drive past your work and I'm happy to drop some off if you want. I'll bring the 34 this time!

thanks for the tape, also i realised after that i was explaning thespacers....to the guy i bought them from hahaha...long day.

gonna try and get the eyelids, spacers and nuts on today, see how my day goes.

spacers are on, painted them black to be a bit more incognito but i need to paint my hubs too i have realised, otherwise they still just stand out.

still unsure if 25mm iss too big, im thinking maby it is???

car has been lowered back down to what i think is an acceptable level.

didnt have time last night to do the camber adjustment so the wheels are still streight up and down, the top of the tire tread is now inline "flush" with the guard...which looks dicky. i need the outer rim edge to be flush.

going to camber it back in and get the full allignment setup done properly as we have done most by eye so far.

IMAG2261_zps1a04581b.jpg

if it looks shit it comming off but i really hope it looks ok.

i do like the wheel nuts though, for a stop gap solution.

Your wheels are sticking out beyond the body. Camber is not the solution - camber is a suspension setting not a fashion item. If you can't move your wheels back in a bit you need narrower wheels or wider guards.

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
