Caliperrssss

Not the ones for your brakes dummmmyy. Order a digital set of calipers today. Hope to be able to make my own adjustable-heim-jointed traction rods for my 240. Once I get my measurements from my spare subframe I can order up some parts and see if I can make em myself on the cheap. We'll see what happens I'll keep this venture updated here.

Wheelies

looking at some wheelies recently. Also been seeing alot of pics of low+snow dudes. Making me think maybe putting the coils back on might not be that bad as long as I take car of em. So I'll see how my wheel search turns out and maybe i might be gettin a job plowing snow for my town part time in the 240

Epic lows




Bought me some Stance GR+ PRO coilovers, decided to put em on the car to see how low they actually went. They went lower but only marginally compared to my current setup(cut springs on stock struts. That kinda depressed me but I know I can get more low from taking out collars and turning the bodies up to the spring perch. The rears go epicly low, I still have a shit-ton of room and a helper spring in place in the rear and they tucked tire like crazy. I wish the fronts were the same. Oh well maybe I'll buy shorter springs for the front and get the moar low I yearn for.




Enough chit chat, its picture time

ups and downs

Well the kz, 240z, and hardbody pickup I was tryin to purchase all fell through. I figured it must be a sign, I must invest in the 240. Parts are waiting to be ordered, gotta wait for money to show up in my account first. Im starting to want to go a different way with my 240. A cleaner, lower, better way. I love rat rod style but I got an aggressive front bumper for free and I might pick up the matching skirts and bumper next weekend. Then I need to get wheels and coilovers this winter to go along with the adjustable suspension arms I have on order. Time to get stanced and have a car that looks bad and drives ever badder...is that a word?
