And that picture will never occur again. :(

So sad but true. Hopefully we can get a bunch of people to come this year.

Chicks on proteges is over rated...they belong on some mainstream cars like 350z's or EVO's or something lol...jk

I disagree :)

i think if u had the side skirts and the bottom of the back lip painted black too, it would look pretty sick. lol thats jsut me. thats what i thought it was.. but its jsut the front. =( but it will look sick when its painted.

I pushed the spring up, and then lowered the excess thread back down into the bottom cup. I have no thread left. all i can do is compress the srping up, and roll what ever silver thread that shows down into the bottom cup. Im skeptical they sent me different length dampers

Because no one cares? lol

I only voted for him because one of his ideas was to pull troops out of the middle east and now his stupid ass is sending 30,000 troops to afghanistan and pulling existing troops out of iraq to send to afghanistan. Oh and he wants to extend deployments to 18mos instead of 12-15mos because he doesnt think its fair that National Guard and Reservists do 18 and active duty only does a year....maybe thats because we work a trillion times harder than the weekend warrior bitches do?(eekfu)(eekfu)

Ya I know right, typical piece of shit. I guess I just shouldn't be so trusting...you'd think being the first black president that he'd keep to his ideas and what he says he wants to do...but I mean honestly I give it a year before another homicide attempt is made on him. The day after Election day a KKK group was plotting to murder him in Nashville, bout 45min from my house and apparently the police caught them before they could leave the city.

But ya I guess we will just have to sit back and watch everything unfold.

I always try to find a spot near a curb and park as close as possible to it so I give as much space as possible for whomever parks next to me (hopefully far away enough to not get hit by a door)

Search for the user Arnhem.

i'd like to say that after a year and a half of curb hugging or parking so far away from everyone else that i forgot how to park close & next to cars and kind of hate looking for people before i back out of a spot. my friends used to laff at how close i used to park next to curbs lol

Thanks guys. Yes it still needs rims. (can anyone spare cheap rims??) Amazingly the mods have only costed me just over $1000. (crap i never realized it was that much.. haha) which includes the tint and coilovers. I got the MSP bumpers and skirts for free from swirlfx... and paid around $350 for the spoiler of ebay.... not to mention the countless hours of installing and adjusting everything. The interior is next!

Drifting, whether in a secluded area or busy area, can be ticketed as reckless driving and possibly trespassing depending if the cop is hot or not.

wow, reckless driving...once i did a few- okay a bunch of doughnuts in a church parking lot... maybe if i get caught i'll tell the cop to talk to the church ministers or w/e and they said it was okay... or better yet, i'll say i own the church and that its my private property...
once i accidently forgot to take my domino's car topper off after work and went to my neighborhood where i did a buncha drifts... not cops around but i felt pretty stupid once i realized i still had my car topper on.... bad for the company....

true that.. thnks for the +comments... when you do these wheels it takes alot to make them look decent... rolling your fenders is a must...... thankfully my brother owns a shop so he did all the work and i got the stuff at a discount lol..... but if you dont camber it or lower it low enough it looks like crap... trust me we spent the whole day adjusting it... if you do it right you'll be turnin heads like i did last night at the spot

red95_240sx

Tires might rub the strut before the camber gets where it needs to be. Cud try diff. tires if that doesnt work.

Considering the width of the wheels, I doubt he'd b able to go lower and not hit the tires & who wants neg cam?

we was hopin to lower it one more inch and the camber bolt doesnt camber it too much... but the back camber bolt still hasnt come in. people tell me that the coiloves will begin to adjust and it might get a little bit lower and start to camber a bit... but in the end i still love the changes i did

Sweet! I like how that looks! Not as nice as the foglight deletes, but you still have functional fogs that don't look like crap with the MSP fog light brackets

Just smoke em ty, much easier and if you do it right, it hardly even reduces visibility.

02-27-2009, 04:41 PM

i'm still torn

put stock fogs back in and do what you did, or, throw a set like Dub did, but i'd use a real low profile and long foglight instead of a round like he did

that is a hard choice haha, i know when i first did it not many people were liking the look of it so i took the lip off but its back now haha

xDJ DUBx

02-27-2009, 04:47 PM

killed it right there

On a 1 to 10 level, un-smoked being 10 on visibility, smoked fogs would be a 9.9. You wouldn't even notice any light gone it would be so little, I was just being technical.

When I had my tails smoked, they were black as hell during the day but at night my brake lights were just as bright as everyone else.

No to rag on you directly, but I never understand why people don't cut the center part out of the bumper? I think it would look a lot better if it was cleaned up.

It does look better imo but some people like the option of putting the lower grill back on at a later date.

Yeah that shot looks great. The only thing I don't like about the BC2 kit is the front bumper cover.

I loved my bc-2 kit, well how it looked any ways, but man was it a piece of shit. I don't know if all companys make them shitty or if I just picked the wrong one but damn, the thing cracked so easy, glad to be rid of it.
