Yeah we should have. But the rain was kind of annoying me. Haha. We'll go back for HDR pics when it's dry.

That's what I figured, but looking at my car if I lowered it it would only be about 5 inches all around until my kit touched the ground..and I would still have nasty wheel gap. Maybe its cuz I run a 30 series tire

Well seeing as I have never really spoken to teddy - I will firstly say this. The cars look great man. I remember reading about the 510 when I first joined NICO, before I knew what an SR was. . .Much less what the sh*t a datsun 510.

That must put you near my age then? Anywho, great looking cars man. . .Hope everything is well.

And question for spooled, What is that front lip on your kouki? Looks cool from the side there. . .I figured I needed to spice the front side of my car up to detract the damage from the quarter panel. Maybe then someone will pay attention to the side mount located in it

5 inches from the ground? That's where you're going wrong, druggy.

I mean, buddy.

No, that's exactly what I'm trying not to... for the moment. Plan is put the SR that is currently in my coupe into the hatch after the new SR is built and ready to go.

Then we'll see. For now, it's a reliable (yeah right), clean (yeah right), comfortable (yeah right) daily driver.

I'm beginning to notice that 240s aren't that reliable..but more reliable than my last pos car (98 eclipse gst) that damn thing would have new problems everyday... now my 240 only has one problem and it won't go the hell away, lol

Wow havent been on here in forever. Love the cars Teddy and great stories to go with it all. Also Matts car is actually kinda high from the ground, the side skirts make it look really low.
