Looking good. Was the car on a slope? Just the back looks higher than the front? Or is it not lowered?
dJdC - October 5, 2006 03:41 PM (GMT)
Na I havnt lowered it yet.. yea its on a slight down hill. I gotta wait till I get the side skirts on before I can lower it. The fronts only about 3 1/2 inches off the ground now so when and If i do i think it will be a 3/4 inch drop to an inch cuz I can barely pull out the drive way with out scraping the front bumper on the ground

Thats like a 10mm drop aint it? Hmm. Suppsoe it'd be worth it for the handling though atleast!

Yea but like speed bumps are like what 2 1/2 to 3 inches high? Im screwed for getting over these if I lower it

Lookin' good Mr Dj! ^_^
I know sod all about cars - but this looks really good!
What speed have you done in it then?
Otacon - October 5, 2006 08:47 PM (GMT)
Thats what I mean. People would consider the lowering a bit pointless. But if you can make it look low then it's worth it. And plus it'll handle much better.
One of my mates had is lowered 60mm and wants to drop it down to like 100mm :o

Fucking hell, that'll be scraping along the floor before he knows it, Ota.
I've got a mate who is looking to get his windows tinted, any idea how much it costs?

Well I know the people at Auto Image so they hooked me up.. but you got 2 types.. crappy tint that youll save like 100 to 200 on or 3M which youll pay extra for.. Get the 3M youll regret the cheap stuff because youll be driving and watching it peal and bubble as you drive over time.. As prices goes, it depends on what kind of car hes got.. probly like $400-650.. I paid $100..
The fastest I ever went in my car was I think a lil over 135 and I was shitting my pants.. Its one hell of a feeling

krypton_ls - October 6, 2006 02:21 PM (GMT)

Here's a suggestion - someone could make a cars/motor vehicles chat thread maybe??

MPH .Well the motors stock its just 1.8L. But I got a Ko4 turbo upgrade, Chip. Intercooler piping, Complete Cold Air Intake, Full Exhaust, SSQ HkS, and a sneaky Pete. the chip I got is programable so I can run on stock setting or by the flip of a switch go right to race settings which elimnates the Govenor. I push 21 pounds barely with out detination.. So I usually run 17. The cars really not that fast I dont hit 135 in 5 seconds or anything. I ran my car at the track and i ran 14.144 at like 98mph.. I know I can do better then that but still pretty quik for a GTI.. Im probly going to lose a lil bit of time from the wheels but I could gain though If I can grip better. Thats why I got the sneaky pete

:o Sounds good. I was a bit sceptical when you said 135 at first but didnt know you had the engine mods :P
14.4 secs (Quarter mile I guess) aint that bad though to be honest!
Krytpon, Yeah there is one I think. But Were just commenting on his pic :P

Ive beaten 5.0 mustangs and camaros.. I raced a newer trans-am and he only beat me by a fender. It really has to do with the driver.. I ran a 14.144 i think I can get a 13.9 but we will see what happen because the track is closing soon so Im not sure if i'll be able to get a run in. When I hit 135 I was on the park way im really not sure how long it took because time wasnt really on my mind I was just freaking out because things are moving by you preety fast
