reason why its parked?? lol

why is it growing on me

mike[piston eater] 03-19-2011 12:35 PM

i dig the wheels. just not the 2 tone

tiltmode43 03-19-2011 02:35 PM

Ehh, this must be before work, I don't think the owner would try to drive with shoulder like that. As far as specs, no one has really gone all out when it comes to stretch + width + low offset. I like to keep a decent sized tire on because I can't stand not being able to drive a sports car fast, which is largely why I never went that route. Mike from Vegas' setup is sick but I know there's room for more. Hopefully this guy can make it work!

tbk 03-19-2011 02:50 PM

I dont even remember where I got that picture from or what the specs were.
drunk posting ftl lol

SebastianAlmeda 03-19-2011 06:12 PM

does anyone having any problem with there transmission being to low cuz my shit hits a lot......

Ross_Dawg 03-19-2011 07:09 PM

My only problems are the rear exhaust piping, diff and the front lip and the little metal plates that hang below the front wheels area. Oh and the midpipe bolt connecting to the header, that always likes to grab a bump (pretty sure it's cracked now).

Ouch, full lock to the right, and fucked up the passenger side fender/or vice versa? When drifting I'd imagine the weight may be tossed over to that side - luckily with grip, the weight stays off of the danger side of the front fenders.



Heh, I think that's tbk's car - I mean, how many PB's are there in his area with shaved badges? :cool:

tbk 03-22-2011 08:25 AM

and tacky two tone paint jobs and a silver pin stripe :p:

pdxhak 03-22-2011 10:30 AM

Ross_Dawg 03-22-2011 11:00 AM

tbk 03-22-2011 11:34 AM

J8635621 03-22-2011 11:35 AM

J8635621 03-22-2011 11:36 AM

tbk 03-22-2011 11:43 AM

Correct sir, I did end up beating into submission with the hammer still looks like shit. The pic doesn't show much cuz its a black car but its still creased in the
middle and all the little creases around it.

BTW found out wtf was bottoming out back there, check this out, talk about shitty engineering, I haven't received a calls from D2 yet but supposedly they are getting it worked out.. told em an easy fix would be to send me 8k springs but you know, what does John Smith know about his own setup.

Ross_Dawg 03-22-2011 07:26 PM

I hate to say you get what you pay for... but even for bottom end coils they shouldnt do that :(

Wow, so the coil was rubbing on what looks like a control arm? Sorry I didn't reply back to your question earlier, I haven't experienced such issues. As far as the fender goes, that doesn't look too bad... Did you already have them pulled out before?

Reminds me of this ->
Attachment 247379

hotdoghogie 03-23-2011 09:13 AM

Naw its not rubbing on the control arm, the springs are too soft and the coils are actually bottoming out on each other.

Those fenders though are hidious lol, my last car had pulled fenders similar to that but that is just too functional.

Ross_Dawg 03-23-2011 11:12 AM

Do you know the spring rate of the springs that are on there now? Just curious what they used...

tiltmode43 03-23-2011 01:14 PM

RX8's have traditionally used pretty soft spring rates, are you sure full compression is the reason? If so, you sure your dampers are all in good functioning condition? Hope you get things sorted out soon!

c1oud 03-23-2011 03:19 PM

From hawaiiiiiii!!!!!!! Here is my BB with ame cx 19x9.5 F +22 19x10r +28 I believe http://http://gallery.me.com/turkhoi...13008811190001

Ross_Dawg 03-23-2011 06:02 PM

tbk that made my day :D:

hotdoghogie 03-23-2011 06:14 PM

Holy shit TBK!


But yeah pretty clear that the coils are smashing on each other. Dampening is fine rx8's have an awkwardly short spring.

Im running 8 & 6k's

tbk 03-23-2011 06:51 PM

lol

You know I actually really like that. Very clean and simple and not overdone :icon_tup:

J8635621 03-23-2011 09:27 PM

I'll even out Ross's props by saying.........nice lip but the wheels are how do I say it....not really styled for a car like the 8. Nice job though

mike[piston eater] 03-23-2011 09:36 PM

i love it a vip 8 :D the shinka color already makes it better

Grace_Excel 03-23-2011 09:36 PM

c1oud 03-23-2011 09:50 PM

Lol thanks for the opinions, I had to really look and look if it looks nice but i like it. As for VIP I'm totally not going that route, I have a BNR turbo with a lot of extras so I take Yolanda up the mountain and we do the nasty :D
