love this style of tuning. obscene quad tip victory pipes sticking out of a stock rear bar, angled 30* to the left and upwards... sounds pretty cool. You'd never get away with it though, not in this country. for the flares, IMO just roll your guards so hard they're paper thin, then flare them. the paint'll come off and it'll rust around the edge. then add 18x11's with a 225 or so tyre (talk to mr zed x) and ~3.5* negative camber. this won't be cheap! coilovers, control arms, tension rods, etc... certainly enough to make me cry (I'm doing it) while we're on it, what're the legalities regarding victory pipes in this country? nothing that mad but like I looked up the ADRs, 10.2 that you mentioned in the op but that was stuff on steering columns :S prob'ly illegal due to the inherit decapitation which would undoubtedly occur in the event of backing into a small child/llama how's this for some inspiration? I personally love this car except for that stupid spoiler paint job out of a spray can pulls this off pretty well, like that matte khaki 240z on the last page (read the build thread) pretty much just do everything half-arsed and for as little as possible and you'll get there
Just paraphrased this doc for the appropriate section: Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulations 2000 Subordinate Law 2000 No 12 made under the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act 1999 I might have to trawl a bit deeper to find if this regulation is in fact the one that would need to be complied with. Can email you a copy if interested. ****** As per the flares... I've always wanted to try my hand at lead wiping. with excessively rolled guards, im sure that would way more rigidity to the thin metal
i don't understand what the deal is with all of them mounting their oil coolers on the front with long hoses back in. I guess it's a fashion thing with those style cars. ...or to make people think they're I/C's... lol.
That's the car. It's a NA 93 slicktop... Has the AVS wheels, but they are a pearl white as it is, and no dish. I've spent the past hour trying to drive the freeware / open source 'gimpshop' photo editor, but have had no luck. Is Photoshop any easier to use??!
I can't understand why you would purposely want to make a car look rough.. there is already plenty of sh!t box zeds getting around.. but thats just me.. reminds me of scrapheap challenge honestly
I would just drive round with them until you're told to take them off, there some drifters round my way with pretty serious flutes, and they have been on their cars for a while now
To keep it legal in the rust department, you could bond strips of thin metal to the painted bodywork and let that rust, instead of the actual body panels which would be considered structural.
My photoshop skillz need improving... But, I reckon it looks good Having red vinyl decals would be ideal, and can be easily fitted (straight edges, and a circle)
This makes me horny. I'm sure you can get it somewhere, its the welding and heat treating to get the colours that is the hard part
They'll change colour again when they are used, specially on the elbows. Titanium isn't worth the hassle on street cars.
MMMMMMMMMMM im hunting just the tips... something like this with one of those new 300zx diffusers some guy in the states is making
