4x4 Mazda sp20, I think so

BG1.8sp · 07-08-2012, 08:00 PM

Go got the field break kit and raise it like the offroad sport 20 that came out... Would look tough in black

maz sp20 · 08-08-2012, 09:31 AM

Well it's one of those hey, not much you can do with that driveway bud

Ben · 08-08-2012, 10:11 AM

Nah, thats the drawback of living on a hill. Parents are considering building a shed down the back of our paddock.

Ben · 12-08-2012, 02:14 PM

Small updates.

Installed my laminx. Perfect look that i wanted. A black chrome look. Wasnt keen for all black since i think it'll be too much. So i'm happy with the look.

One tinted, one not.

Both

Also have my kuhmo's sitting here to go on.

And i've ordered my rear sway bar. Should probably come tomorrow or Tuesday.

And yes, there already is stone chips in my lip

I'm going to get some paint mixed up and do some touch ups around the car.

smurfy · 12-08-2012, 03:29 PM

Lip will get alot of stonechips dude.. Mines like covered in em

JDM323 · 12-08-2012, 06:01 PM

which one's are they as they appear to be a better shade then mine.

swift jimmy · 12-08-2012, 06:55 PM

looking good :-D .. if i kept the lip painted my healights black our cars would be twins

Ben · 15-08-2012, 05:19 PM

Well you should of kept your lip matt :P

Shaley, i just got the "Tint" ones.

Installed my sway bar today. So amazing. If you dont have one, get one. I set it on the stiffest setting and i wont be changing it haha.

Also it hit the subframe, so it took a bit of persuading with my hammer.

Should of took one when it was jacked up, but eh.

Ice88 · 15-08-2012, 06:16 PM

You really shouldn't have to persuade a part to fit out cars when it was meant to be designed for our cars. :S

Ben · 15-08-2012, 06:27 PM

It just hits the subframe by like literally half a mm. I probably could of installed it, but it would then knock. I'd rather bash my subframe then listening to it rub. But yes, they should probably look into it.

BG1.8sp · 15-08-2012, 06:30 PM

I would rather file down the bush stopper on one side by a mm or two, rather than bash the subframe. As the stopper isn't structural to the bar really

JDM323 · 15-08-2012, 06:33 PM

i set mine to the softer setting and am leaving it there, i also persuaded frame with ball pein hammer but what a difference it makes, so much control now. my smoke fog films are growing on me.

Ben · 12-09-2012, 05:10 PM

So, by my calculations, if i lower the car with autoexe springs, it will scrape on my driveway by literally .5cm So, lets risk it :P

Also in other news, had kumho's on. They are now off since i got 2 bulges in 2 of them. Ovations are now on and they're actually pretty good. The kumho's will get replaced though.

Learn to go in at more of an angle

This ^^ lol

Also if you lower it you are going to need longer swaybar endlinks with that bar!
