So I just got back from the shop and I finally after 3 months of the stuff sitting in my house got my rims and drop installed, plus I splurged and got HID's lights for the lows. YESSSS!!! They dropped it pretty low my tires are just barely tucking. I know when I say this it's gonna cause in uproar but I may have them raise it about 1/2 an inch!! I know I know it's blasphemy, muntiny at the least but right now my tires are rubbing against the wheel well and if I turn it's rubbing against the fender. I'm going back on thursday to have them align the tires plus they said the rubbing was gonna get worse when I align it but I'll probably have them roll the fenders and see what good that does. I wasn't able to get a dyno tune today but while I was waiting the owner took me to get some fast food and I had a chance to pick his brain. I asked the difference between a street tune and a dyno tune and he recommended a street tune cause he said a dyno was unnecessary for my car since I wasn't running FI and a street tune shouldn't cost you more than $60 and that a dyno could cost almost $250 for an hour after all the extra cost. He also said that you could get the same gains from a street tune with my setup for much less. He had a turbo boosted silvia that I got to ride in and that thing hauled some ass. He said he only was running 6lbs of boost cause his boost controller was broken but that his car went up to 22lbs of boost!! The kid who was working at the desk had the best car he had a bad ass supra (god I'd love to have one of those) he had intercooler and everything. basically everyone working there was boosted he said. So here are pic of the silvia, supra and of my car:











Yea I know my cars dirty, everyone I showed it to that was like the first thing they well second after they said how much the like my rims, even the mechanic said my car was dirty. I'll try to get my car washed and take better pics tomorrow. The last two pics are for everyones knowledge but especially blackack. black if you look closely in the upper corners of the connectors it will say how many pins there are notice it says 32p, 25p, 31p and the last is 16p. I believe the obd2a doesn't have the 25p but I can't guarantee it.

Now my problems is my brake calipers which I knew this was gonna happen, they stick out now and they're all rusted and shitty looking, what should I do?


On a side not I happened to see a bunch of engines sitting in there garage and one was wrapped in saran wrap and on the wrap it said V6 Honda which immediately caught my attention so I looked alittle closer and it said J32. I then proceeded to ask the owner if it was a Type-S and he said it was and that he'd sell it for cheap!! I'll have to get more info on thursday about this.

P.s. sorry for the big pics I tried to downsize but I screwed up and I'm too lazy to re do it.

 

clean that shit,

get some tire shine,

i donno what else to say,

im not such a fan of those wheels...

 

nice S15 and supra. is that the Do Luck body kit on the supra.

nice CL. but the wheels are kinda to thugged in my opinion.

but the pics kinda suck.

 

yah, learn how to take some pix...

tripod helps

 

did my computer screen just shrink? or are these pictures from the imax?

yea clean ur car....and if ur gonna have open faces wheels, watch out for that rust its looks like stright doo doo

 

ya gonna need some better pics but Supra FTW

 

whoa those are some massive pics. looks good but you need some better shots.

 

not crazy about the wheels either, but now that means you gotta paint your calipers now.

How's the ride on your ksports? U got special spring rates right?

 

Resize ftw, c'mon kip get on it!

 

resize those bad boys. its easy.

 

I swear, everytime I see a supra I fall just a little more in love, if it is at all possible...

 

I know it's easy but not now I'm just frustrated it didn't work the first time. Yeah I got custom spring rates? 11 in the front and 6 in the back, they were supposed to come 13/6 and excelerate was later notified that it'd be 12/6. I must say the ride isn't as rough as I thought it'd be which is good, I was really worried about it being to stiff. It's definitely stiffer but not too stiff. my friend who had a WRX STi his stock supsension was definitely stiffer and the 240sx I drove in today I believe was stiffer. I don't have much else to compare it too. Now my problem is, is it stiff enough cause if it was stiffer that'd help stop my tires hitting the wheel wells, this is another reason I want to raise it just a little bit. I should have all this worked out i a few days.

 

can you make the pics bigger and more blurry please. thanks.

 

Good lookin out Klepto I'll see what I can do and get back at cha!!

I guess I should've waited until tomorrow to post pics, sorry!!

 

check out this xp image resizer

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

 

thats not an s15. its an s14b.

 

Klepto I got Photoshop CS2 I don't need tools to do it, it's just that when I uploaded using imageshack.us and set it to 1280x1024 size I didn't set the screen size and check the box saying I wanted to resize, I didn't notice the box and thought that all my pics had been resized when they hadn't been and it had taken like 5 min to upload and paste and I didn't want to do it all over again. I'll take new pics tomorrow during the day and then ask you or another mod to remove the first ones and problem will be solved. No one likes these pics anyways so why should I resize them. This is my first time using this camera at night (it's not even my camera) I didn't know it was set to such a low speed and that the pics would be this blurry I couldn't really tell the pics were blurry by looking at the small screen on the camera. Again I'm sorry if I offended anyone!!

 

oh man, i hear that..

supras own me

 

I love me some supras

 

ricey supra..

 

wow, those pics are fuckin huge, rims are ok

 

It's not that bad, except for the hood and body kit, atleast he got it molded.

So I got bored and took the car for a spin and I'm gonna have to do something since I can't get in and out of my driveway w/o rubbing like crazy and I think my car is bottoming out also. I think I'm gonna raise it, roll the fenders and get a street tune on thursday.

[rant]Speaking of ricey while I was waiting for my car this guy comes in and wants to swap his civic engine for an F22b1 and I'm thinking to myself isn't this the engine that everyone on here wants to get rid off. He's talking about kicking some guys ass with this F22 and I'm thinking :shakehead, then I mention the H22 and he's says that's played out. Then he was looking to get new rear lights for the Civic with LEDs and i'm like :shakehead. Then they start talking about putting graphics on his car and he's like naw that's ricey I ain't a ricer and I'm like sure ok!! Sorry I know some on here will disagree I just don't think you can make an older civics (I like the 06+ civics) look classy and nice. Just like I don't understand people that put chrome rims on their kia's or hyundais. In fact the store right next to the tuner shop was a rim store and there was a bunch of ghetto ass people pulling up in baby blue ford escort with 15inch chrome rims on them thinking their car looks hot, like all the cars in the rap videos!![/rant]

Ok so I need to do something with my calipers,
1. Should I just get new calipers? Do you think mine are salvagable, prolly not cause I should get new rotors too since those are rusted also.

2. Should I get a BBK in the front? Man that'd look hot!!

I'm thinking of getting my calipers in glossy black however I end up doing it, I think it looks classier than red, I'm not so much going for the real sporty look. I think black is still a little sporty but still classy at the same time. If I get BBK I don't want to get BBK in the back it's not worth it, but I'd like bigger rotors.

3. Is it possible to get front rotors to be put on the back? I'd only do this if I got BBK in the front.

 

Damn son, resize those pics yo!

 

smaller pics ftw

 

yea we dont all have 20+ '' computer screens out here you know

 

We don't?!?! Speak for yourself!

Triple Screens FTW!



Really easy way to resize! At the end of the Image link add "imgmax=400" then the [/IMG]

 

I Dont Think The rims are Ok!, I Like Them! Your Car Just Needs To Be taken a bath

 

huh?

I'm having a hard time telling if I like them on your car or not. Take some day pics and make them as least blury as possible and resize them and you'll be good.

 

What I Tried To Say Is That I Like The Rims!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some-1 Had Said Earlier In The Forum That The Rims Were Ok And Im Saying That There Real Nice (not Just Ok!)

 

You don't need to spend 2 grand on a bbk cuz your rotors look bad Just paint them like I said before. You can't put front rotors on the back. Just clean the rotors with a wire brush and paint them, it's a $20-30 fix

 

absolutely correct.

 

eh... the supra did nothing for me.

i would choose the silvia over the supra

 

That's a toss up for me, but that's def an s14

 

yea i jumped the gun thinking its a S15. i got confused with the front ends.

that supra looks so 00,01,02. id say the look now is as little flashly body work as possible.

 

i would take a stock supra over a stock s14 anyday. But those 2 cars in the pix, i would take the s14. That supra is fukin riced out.. i wnna throw up on it..

 

True true. I wouldn't be getting them just cause my calipers are rusted. Is there a DIY anywhere to paint your calipers. I do need new rotors front and back and I may need new calipers in the rear so I need to spend the money anyways so I might just spend the extra for the pimpness. I'm thinking slotted and drilled in the front and slotted in the rear or maybe just slotted all around. I like how the BBK fill the the space between the rim. I saw Excelerate is selling BBK kits for $1300, what's the difference between 1 piece and 2 piece kits?

 

I love fawkin supras, there's a few 1000 hp supra's around here, I know one or 2 of the owners, and they're not all riced out. I could whore out pics, but I don't wanna fawk up his thread

 

do iT!

 

Might as well, he whores my threads out with pics all the time, and this thread isn't about his wheels anymore, but about supras anyway

1000 HP



Another tt supra, 800 HP dyno'd i believe





These pics are from a car show from 04, I have newer ones from 07, but they're not up anywhere
