Vivek's Vert.

Update time!
Rolled the fenders with a slight pull on the rear. Alex Rodoni did it for me. He fixed my front lips which were all pulled out and fucked up too. All for $100...not bad at all. I put the spring pads back on since he said there was no way in hell I'm fitting the 15mm spacers that I got at that height.
Before:

After:




Bad pic of the clearance with the suspension mostly compressed:


Sorry for the amazingly shitty shots. The fitment is actually much tighter/closer/better than the pics make it seem. I took them all so that it kinda exaggerates the pretty minimal gap between the tire and fender. Headunit(s) go in on thursday, which I'm pretty excited for. Still gotta deal with my exhaust problem...

Man, if this had beefier tires it'd be so awesome.

[Vivek]

They're wide for 215's. They really don't look skinny at all from the back and aren't extremely stretched.

[spike68]

hmmmm. That fender pull looks uneven in some spots. unless thats just a weird reflection.

I doubt you will be able to fit 15mm spacers too. Whats the offset on your wheels?
You might be able to do at least a 10mm (probably pushing your luck) in the rear.

That's already with 15's. I'm not going any more than that. The fender is really fucked on the inside and jagged and just all messed up. The guy who rolled my fenders said he thinks it's been replaced, but there's nothing on the car fax or anything else to suggest that. The passenger side fender looks good, but the driver's is all weird. There's like some shit that seems permanently stuck in the fender lip and it rubs slightly. I'm gonna try to pull that crap out with something and push the lip back a couple mm myself to stop the rubbing.

Wait. Do you mean there is stuff up under the lip that was rolled? cause i think i have the same thing. Ive been waiting to buy something to cut it out with so i can roll more. Its a strange rubber lining.

[Vivek]

It's only on the driver's side. I haven't felt it much, but it feels like theres a very dense rubber block or some shit in there, and then like a bunch of other crap that's stuck inside. The other side just had a ton of soft dirt that came right out.

So much reverse rake.

[Vivek]

Frame rail height is 2.75" front and 3.25" rear...If the arches were the same on the wheels (like when I got the car) it looks stupidly leaned forwards.

Looks ok to me...



Just buy a skid plate, lower the front and profit.

Edit: Maybe with a little ????? thrown in there somewhere.

[Vivek]

It looked terrible in person. The stance was like a muscle car. The lip was <2" off the ground and the back wasn't even low. I plan to drop the front about 15mm, at which point a plate is sorta out of the question because it'll be too close to the ground (less than half an inch). But to do all this i'll have to modify the adjusters so that'll be in a little bit.

in anticipation for lbv creating a thread titled 'vivert's oil pan is nomo'

[Vivek]

Of course I'm gonna break my oil pan eventually.

[Vivek]

I have MUSICCCC!! Install looks pretty nice, done by custom car audio in San Jose. I absolutely detest the look of almost every single after market headunit, so I shoved the stock one in the dash and had the pioneer with an iPod/usb/aux hookup and cd/mp3 put into the glove box. I also have a remote for it.

[spike68]

Nice move with the HU!

Im getting a new one soon too. I found one that actually matches with the interior lights this time lol.
(My current one is green...)
