Daily Driven Bodykit Thread (s13s)

[silviaS13lover]

lol. if it was decorated in rhimestones or something. wa FTW! rain sucks though.

[sloweighty]

dam......if you guys daily this low then my driving skill going over speed bumps and other road hazard sucks

[S14toRPS13]

If your bumper isn't atleast 4 inches off the ground. Then you'll eventually scrape and crack it, if you daily drive it. That's why you don't see too many clean kitted out and slammed cars driving around. People find out it's just not practical for dd.

mines!!

soooo tight I had to quote it.

while were on this topic I was learning about how to make urethane aero and parts from these youtube vids...

any bumper can be copied and made into urethan this way...

[sb253]

hey lonely, are you north or south of seattle?

what are you like, 17?

[Onizuka]

I will not apologize for my first comment. I was under the impression we were talking kitting cars so they dont end up looking like a** (missing bumpers/unpainted parts/massive cracking/etc). Re-read the first post, he says right in there, "from a practicality standpoint" Even the cars you guys posted ended up having f***ed up bumpers, which I thought we were trying to avoid. I realize my first statment made it sound like I was telling how it is for all s13's, but that was not my intention.

Sir, please stop trying to talk people out of having cool cars.

Fact is, when you have a low car, especially with aero, you will be the safest driver on the road. You will have every bump on your usual routes memorized, and you will drive the speed limit, constantly scanning the road with your eyes and paying close attention to everything around you.

Both these cars used to be daily drivers, at those ride heights and with aero.Modified by Matej at 7:42 PM 5/6/2009

I'm doing nothing of the sort. I actually LOVE slammed s13's. If you want to put the money into it, you've got my full support. I find it ironic that you are suggesting driving around like a wimp to protect bodywork then destroying it at the track.

You're an idiot.

He speaketh the trutheth.

ow my feewings *runs away from e-thug*

Driving safe makes someone a wimp?

And I do not care for track driving at all. I am perfectly content with destroying my aero on the street. If it happens, it happens. The reason why I am a wimp is because of my oil pan.

ditto. get a skid plate and at least it might have a less likely chance of hanging up on something and tearing off.

[georgegto]

Here is my daily, i had this bodykit for a year and still no cracks:pits about 10-15 cm above the ground!

Wonder why you haven't cracked it yet.

[koukicody]

but look at all the shade it provides under there

[S133P3R]

Here is my daily, i had this bodykit for a year and still no cracks:pits about 10cm above the 10-15cm above the ground!

if thats "10 cm", then my d!ck is a 1 m long and 10cm around.

[georgegto]

I said 10-15cm dont get confused with the inches:p i used to have it lower with the original bodykit but its not worth it for daily driving!

[ViolentRunning13]

You do know cm is smaller then inches. RIGHT? Looks like the bottom of your kit is like a foot from the ground to me. That is 12 inches fyi.

[tctomasc]

PJ, Tacoma has cobble stone roads, and they blow. I've never driven anywhere but WA, OR, CA, NV, and NY but I gotta say out of all of em, CA and WA have got to be the worst. NY is really terrible in the city, but that should be a given. s*** in SF, I have hit bumps in my DD (not 240) and caught air. If I had been in my 240 I would have lost a bumper, and prolly knocked my core support up a foot or so along with my car.

OP, why not just try a kit from a non DD'd car. I? mean no matter what you get, if its not plastic or a select few uerethanes,. its gonna get chipped, scratched or damaged. So just go with what looks the best? Maybe I missed the part where you said why it had to be already on a DD'd car

[georgegto]

maybe u got confused from the middle part of the bumper because is straight lines...how low is ur car?? 1inch??

[swift240sx]

dont be a fa g... get insanely huge aero. you and I both know its going to happen sometime and you might as well do it the first time. oh btw i think imma trade my drift chassis for that red team instant party hatch. i keep my recaro though. im in love with it. plus it set me back $1200

ps answer your fu*cking phone I know you are probably lurking the forum as we speak because you have nothing else to do but whack off to dream cars all day.

pps love you boo

[swift240sx]

get this. knock off blister kit widebody

[S133P3R]

...how low is ur car?? 1inch??

see below...

Yeah I daily my car. Gets kind of annoying but oh well. each corner I can just slip my foot under it and thats about it. The front of the side skirts sit stupid low due to 17s

VR13,do you even have an inch under it? what about ground to your frame rails?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Where's Adrian? I know his car is pretty low, and he's on 17s too.

[Space Monkey]

if thats "10 cm", then my d!ck is a 1 m long and 10cm around.

It's only 4"....so approx. the size of your d!ck

There is some wheel well gap, i say go for some 18's and then drop it back down to about 4" and your car will be sick!

[S13Teddy]

This is my current daily driver.

[S133P3R]

^^DAAAAAAMMMNNN.where was your front bumper at D1 anaheim? saw it in the parking lot but no front, what gives?

[ViolentRunning13]

Damn Teddy why does the front sit so much lower then the rest of the kit? Reckless.

[S13Teddy]

^^DAAAAAAMMMNNN.where was your front bumper at D1 anaheim? saw it in the parking lot but no front, what gives?

I was changing lanes, but I didn't do so fast enough and I hit one of these.



Sadly it broke my bumper pretty bad, so I had to pull it off so I could drive it to D1.

My front coilovers go lower than the rears.

^^if your car doesnt do this, it does not belong here.

anyone ever gotten a ticket for ride height? im pretty sure there are laws dealing with the height of the vehicle to the center of the head light or some BS. anyone with tickets?

[ViolentRunning13]

In CA your head light has to be I believe 22 inches from the ground? Or if the bottom of your body goes passed your rim its illegal.

[S133P3R]

i hate that BS, never see a dumb lifted truck pulled over for height restrictions. faaawk the :popo .

[Kalypso]

teddy why don't you align the fenders and headlight?
