That looks so much better on the car then I actually thought it would, and +1 rep for helping out a fellow motorcyclist.

I think you have convinced me about the spacers! Car looks great Phi.

Those x-rays looks just slightly worse than mine did but i didnt have nearly that much tissue damage. Got hit at an angle by a woman in an SUV on her phone. She put me in a wall and my left leg got trapped between the bike and the wall. Only took 3 surgeries and 1 yr to walk slightly normal again. i got to keep the leg but the ortho surgeon said with was a 50/50 shot for a while there in the trama ward. Also, I had on full gear so nothing else was damaged except for a broken toe, ankle and hand. Helmet took the full brunt of the damage to my noggin. If i hadnt had it on along with my armored jacket i would have had the skin on my head, face, back and chest pealed off. Paints a nice picture! I had tons of good Samaritans like you stopped or stopping for me. People like you make me proud. I thank you for your efforts to helping that guy.
Oh, and the powder coating on the wheels looks friggin awesome. |
Got the wheel caps, turn signals and badges back from the pinstriper!

Dude car looks great. I can see some copycats emerging soon. Plus rep for you. I admire people that have the type of courage to help others. If there were more people like you in this world, it would be a better place.

Car looks good, if I had a Pearl White I would do the same, only make the orange BLUE. About the x-rays, did the tibia go all the way up to his butt? Cause there should only be one bone up that high in the Leg:icon14:

Now this is what tuning is all about - Good job man!

Nice looking ride man. A little too flashy for me personally, but it looks awesome :)
I wanted to pick your brain about the tire size setup though. How does the sidewall on the 275/35's look up front on the 9" wheels? And in general, do you think either end (the 275/35 on 9 up front, or the 305/30 on 10 in the rear) are feeling loose in a hard corner, like they would roll over too much? I'm still debating tires and tire sizes with myself for my upcoming 18x9.5 + 18x10 setup, just looking for insight into how much oversize is doable without affecting the tightness of the car on the road, if you know what I mean. On the conservative end of things I'm looking at 265/35 and 285/35, but you're making me think I can be less conservative if those sizes are working well for you :) |

In looking at these pictures, remember that the tires have a recessed bead to save your wheels from curbs. The tread on the 275 is still not a wide as the wheel. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k34/ldmcnutt/0017.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k34/ldmcnutt/0027.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k34/ldmcnutt/0036.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k34/ldmcnutt/0046.jpg Oh, one last point. You can see how far out on the edge this tire has been scrubbed, and this was after a hard canyon drive yesterday. If you watch in the video below you can see mid corner steering adjustments, but it is because of slip angle, not double apexing. The video doesn't give you the sense of speed, but the slowest point in there is 3,000 rpm in 2nd gear which is 28 mph, despite numerous corners with 15mph recommended speed and with blasts up to 75 mph between corners. |
Look pretty good sir. + rep on the tire size info.
|
Yeah thanks for the info. I'm definitely not going 265 on 9.5's up front then :)
|
Hadn't seen your thread before. Excellent work on the Z. VN! :tup:
