There have been pics of my engine bay, but I figured I haven't posted full pics of my car in a while.

4 year-old P&S camera + no experience =

godfather2

i don't care about cameras, only cars. on that note, you've done very well

TRaNz

meh, who cares mate, the car looks brilliant.

DAYTA

Thansk for the comments, guys. I'm thinking about picking up a DSLR down the road, but not until the market rebounds.


They're Advan Kreutzer Xis, which are essentially the same design as the RS. The only difference that I know of is that the Kreutzers come with centercaps (the RS does not).

You take pictures as well as I take them.

However, you mod cars like I mod them, which is much better than taking pics.

Car looks great as always. I actually do like the third pic down.

BERTSX

car looks gud. another clean SSM.

Tsx536

I like the 4th pic down

Cars still lookin great! I think a couple of pics from a little farther away would be nice. Also, try a couple of pics from a lower angle. I'm not a great photographer either, but give it a try...haha

^ any plans for a lip kit? interior?

nj2pa2nc

great pictures

DAYTA

Right now, I'm mostly focused on outright performance. But to answer your question...maybe and maybe .

One of my favorites on AZ! Just so clean! And I must say I'm a little surprised here. You're running a 18x7.5 +45 offset AND 5mm spacers w/ 225 tire? Do you have any rubbing at all? Even with people in the back seat, over bumps, etc.?

This makes me think I can successfully run the 18x8 +42 offset that I really want if I just use a 225 tire instead of a 235. Hmmm....your setup may just be my inspiration

cali4tsx

clean

DAYTA

Thanks man .

I'm running 5mm spacers because I need the clearance to run my Stoptech BBK. However, I've never once rubbed...even with a full load of people while going over a bump.

How low are you dropped? 18x8 +42 with 225s might be close, but I think you'll be fine as long as you're not slammed. I know Tsx536 runs his 18x8 +45 Kreuzer Xs with 225/40/18 tires and I don't think he has any rubbing issues, but he's also not riding incredibly low.

endlesswinterco

super clean looking. love the SC and the brakes!

neocrynym

Very interesting. Also a little worrying since the Stoptech kit is in my distant future, yet you're definitely not the first person I've read about w/ 18's that still needed spacers. That's another reason I'm leaning towards the 42 offset...a little more assurance that the BBK would fit perhaps. Any idea offhand what your front/rear camber readings are?

I'm not lowered yet...whenever I get wheels I will order coilovers/camber kit at the same time. I really like your stance...a couple fingers gap is perfect, IMO. Any lower is too low for a car like ours, I think.

Dude the pics don't look that bad. Your car looks great though

hawaiiantsx

nice pics...car looks good man

Thecrazytrains

Amazing pictures, love the car. What did you do with the front reflectors? I can't tell if they are clear or what, I think it looks amazing. I was thinking about doing something with my front reflectors.

EuRTSX

JDM Headlights.

DAYTA

Almost forgot about this thread...


Thanks for the comments .

I had an alignment done 2-3 weeks ago and my front camber is -0.2FL,-0.6FR (we can't adjust the front stock) and -1.1 on both rear sides.

Maybe my pics are a bit deceiving, but I'm at just over 1 finger gap all-around. I would love to go lower for performance reasons (lower center of gravity), but a lack of daily useability supercedes my preference.


^^^ What EuRTSX said. However, if you don't want to spend the $$$ for JDM headlights, you can find USDM headlights with cleared reflectors and turn signals on eBay for much cheaper that will give you a similar effect.

TommySalami

I like the last 3 pictures a lot

The morning you come to find your car up on blocks and the wheels stolen, you'll know who took 'em.
