Its a great looking car. Assuming its not on the bumpstops..... Do you think it will come down more once you fully load the body? Full tank of gas, doors, all the glass, etc.

I think the front looks lower than it is because you have it parked coming off a curb. Let's see it on level ground instead of being on a "V". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Folks we have a winner!!! Yep, that was basically my point, but everyone started going off in - [love it - bumpstops - articulation - drill holes in it - buy a spare - mount a tow hook] - so many directions, and not looking at the pics. I figured I would wait for someone else to point it out.... Its got a good 2 1/2 inches of clearance, when laying flat. Thanks for all the comments guys...

I only did the firewall - I scrapped the engine pad in the engine bay, and wanted to decrease noise and heat. Should work fine. My floors have the factory tar on them - no rust.

Sound proofing should be outlawed in a 914 with a 2.2S motor... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I know it was in a dip! Its still way low! You will still have to sneak into any place that is not damm near level. My car is 4 1/2 up and I am so carefull its crazy! I have had to find my way out of more than one place to continue in my journey in the same direction! I like my car low! But it does come with some problems.
Michael My car has 205-55-15 with front snow type spoiler. |

What is the name of the color? What is the number you used to determine the color? What brand paint did you select? What type of paint did you use? single stage, single stage/clear coat or base coat/clear coat? Well its custom so: It dont got no name. So, How bout' "Socal Orange" I started at L20E - No formula for L20E in two stage - So we wung it? Winged it? We have been sprayin Glasurit for 30+ years in this family... Glasurit Acrylic Enamel - Base Coat Clear Coat ***I got close with the match to L20E - and then just decided to kick it up a bit. Its close to tangerine, but way less red... So, either you like, or your building a case??? It has not even been finish sand and buffed yet... Thanks for all your answers. I'm about to have my car painted and have similar decisions to make and I wanted to hear how you did yours. |

I just thought it was funny how everyone just jumped to that last pic - and then started educating my ass. I love it. I knew eventually someone would look closer at the pics. I really do love sharing my car on here. Video of it running soon - I promise.
Sean was giving me alignment tips on the other board (and he has seen my car in person). Yep - I posted those pics on all 3 boards. I got all sorts of useless information. However - if its any consolation - The World figured it out first... Pics of interior next week. I really need a build thread - they are just so much work... |

Of course you aren't going to drive a street car with 1/2 inch clearance on a fglass spoiler. 2 1/2 inch clearance on an Fglass spoiler isn't going to last long on the street, IMO. I'd still get a cheap LE spoiler and have your paint guy spray it while he is doing your other parts. Won't cost much, and at least you'll have it. |
