SoCal-S13's Hatch Build

[nevertheless]

looks better lower, what color are you painting it?

[SoCal-S13]

so primer went down as planned. personally im impressed with the outcome of the body work. my old hatch wasnt even this smooth. from the front bumper to the the back s*** looks amazing. gonna snap some good pics tomorrow but heres a peek

[SoCal-S13]

charcoal metallic

[S14Kouki10]

shouldve primered your wheels too.

no i shouldnt have. theyre getting powder coated bronze.

[SoCal-S13]

ahh finally one color. as she sits now...





and i got a question. in these pics both front and rear coils are max'd out. low as they can go by adjusting the lock nuts and s***. but i still have wheel gap. is there another way to make them lower, or are my 18'' wheels the problem? i know when i dropped the rears they didnt look too low, but after i put some miles on em the coils compressed more and it got lower. hoping i can get a little more drop w/o changing my wheel setup.

[nevertheless]

Get new coilovers, If those are maxed then....wow

[NismoRTuneS13]

looks super sexy primered! Black primer always looks good

[SoCal-S13]

i also have diff sidewall heights front and rear. fronts are 215/30 rears are 225/40. thats why it has that gay a** stinkbug srt-4 lookin rear. im gonna even it out but the question is do i go 40 in the front. or 30 in the rear......

[laxands13]

i wouldnt drop to a 30 in the rear hah, i feel like it would just look too small. I like what youve been doing though man, keep going

IMO i would go with 215/30 F and 225/30 R. Though it depends on how much of a meaty tire you would want. I like less rubber, but it tends to be a little rougher ride compared to my old stock 205/60. Gotta love stock wheels!

i like how my car looks. opposed to how it used to look. when i paint it ill feel the same way. no way id trade paint for primer but it beats tri tone w/ primer patches offset by oxidation anyday.

[SoCal-S13]

funnnnnnn

[SoCal-S13]

did up my wheels today

[Lobo240sx]

[badbob2121]

[Razi]

Wow.

Good decision on painting em.

[SoCal-S13]

[SoCal-S13]

finishing up the interior. last thing left fitting the rear seat.

[badbob2121]

so is that the end result? or are you still fitting the backseat?

or your just leaveing half of the backseat in?...

[SoCal-S13]

[420sxWETDREAMS]

i got the carpet kit from Auto Custom Carpets. The mats were custom embroidered. and the green hatch....
she was my baby. this new one just doesnt feel the same [/quote]

Did you get the mats embroidered at the same place?

[badbob2121]

you thought i was gonna leave half a seat in?

[SoCal-S13]

thanks man. tryin hard to finish this damn dream before my deployment. leaving an un-finished project isnt an option.

[240sxAli4Life]

Damn your 240 is really coming along! Love the new interior, kouki tails, and bronze wheels!! I like the look of the black primer, you should paint it flat black!
