I'm running -2deg of camber in the rear.

It seems to fit fine everywhere - I tested it yesterday with 335/30/18's and 50mm overs.

I'm going to lower it a bit more - maybe another 1.5 to 2".
My frame rails are 4.5" from the ground in the rear.

ok well i dont get on here much anymore since my wifi sucks at my house and i tend to rage quit since the internet doesnt work. i have a few new things that have happened. i finally rebuilt my front equips, purchased ganadors, still havent finished my wiring, and purchased lots of things from japan that should be here end of this month to mid february.

heres a picture of my car getting stuck trying to push it onto the driveway

[Lil_D]

ok so i guess its time for an update. well i moved back to norcal, been working on my wiring as much as possible so i could get driving again.

day i got back to norcal my buddy john (Chuki91) stopped by to hang out





later that week i went to johns event CLub drift and hung out and caught up with everyone. got a couple ride alongs with friends but ended up being a flagger most of the event so i didnt get any cool videos or anything



kam came up from socal for this event


rus' awesome miata


picked up this new head unit so i can finally have music when i drive


then finally mounted my wing properly im pretty happy with how it looks.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

The last couple shots of your car get me pumped man. You've definitely come a long way, hopefully this thing will be ready in time for the bbq!

[Lil_D]

So cars kind I been just sitting for a little while I threw money at it. It runs again and got all my aero together so it's being prepped to be one color finally. Can't add pics on my phone for some reason so I'll post later. With more details and crap.

[Lil_D]

ok so i sent my chassis harness to my friend palmer (wanabe on here) to modify it for me and delete a bunch of wires came out amazing.



he came by and installed it for me and helped me clean up a bunch of other shitty wires



next day my buddy lowney came up from san diego and brought me the last piece to my suspension my pbm forged knuckles so i decided to install them



the following weekend i drove down to socal to pick up my rear bumper and hang out with friends. went to NO RUSH and hung out with everyone, finally met derek slyter and brndck









cool guy dpomps came down and wanted to hang out. heres a pic of his car even tho he didnt bring it down



got to making room for activities on my car so i can turn and not rub as much

before



after



was trying my hardest to make a local event i worked for 2 weeks trying to figure out wtf was wrong with my motor and why it wouldnt rev past 3k after i had swapped mafs. rich from daft innovations came out and we found out that one of my maf wires had broke from the solder and then he timed the motor for me



so i put all the aero on finally and drove it home so i could start prepping for paint





i love my spirit rei rear bumper



went to club drift even tho i couldnt drive hung out with all these cool guys



picked up this vertex wheel, cusco 6 point cage and bride zeta 1






and this is how my car sits now


sorry for the shitty pics my potato sucks at taking pics

[Lil_D]

update 2/1/15

so back in november i started my car and it didnt sound right so i pulled my valve cover off and noticed that my dowel pin on the intake cam was almost out of the cam gear and the cam gear bolt had loosened. then i noticed the springs on cylinder 3 were lower then the rest. so i pulled my head and noticed the bent valves.







as i was getting the rest of my parts to put the head back together and everything else i need to get my car ready for tune i bought a pair of work amkreads from japan and got my front equips chromed.





got everything together motor wise slapped my new hks turbo on and the rest of the supporting mods



got a cool picture of my car where you can finally see the spirit rei rear bumper taken by my friend palmer.



and here are some awesome pictures by my friend eric from september

[TheRealSy90]

I think the slightly crooked bumper cutout gives your car the right amount of character

[christforeman]

Sucks about the bent valves, car is looking awesome man!

[Lil_D]

UPDATE 4/25/15
picked up some super cool headlights from a friend
i sold the lips and barrels from my front equips to find my *new wheel set up. decided to go a little less aggressive up front so i dont rub everything and so i can actually drive my car.
got a picture from alex from wheel flip when he finished putting them together

i finally got my car tuned with its current set up. im happy with the tune i need to get a boost controller then re tune to get more power

got some tires put on the new wheels and put them on to see how they looked



super excited about how they look
also did something dumb to the doors

well car is loaded up and ready for club drift tomorrow. time to finally drift this car

[KevinEdgar]

Fuckin A, the day has finally come... I must be there, don't disappoint me.

Not sure what hood it is all I know is it's not masa. It was pretty difficult for me to find this hood but I'm happy with it

[Lil_D]

UPDATE 4/29/15

club drift this past weekend went pretty good had a few little problems but nothing too major.

first run out i initiated and my battery ripped the shitty autozone box set up and ripped my power wire so i was stuck for a minute while my friend helped me strap my batter down better



did a few more runs trying to get a feel for the car since it was my first event with it. the car kept bogging and i got frustrated so i asked my friend palmer to take a run in it and help me figure out what i was doing wrong. not sure how he fit in my thrash seat but he did and went out and did work in my car



he basically told me i cant be under 5k rpm since it had basically no power until then. so i started driving as much as possible and finally started getting comfortable in the car.
heres a couple pictures of me driving


i broke my axle with an hour left but over all i had a fun time. cant wait till the next one in june. i have to fix a few things and pick up a boost controller so i can re tune my car and try to get more power in the lower rpm's

[BAKATARE]

Sweet! looks so good in action!
