how much did the front wheels move forward, i can sense some larger than 27's being able to fit in there now...

ahoy bro....coulda told u this in person, but maybe with the 'new' paint scheme you're going to go...

dont paint up that far on the front end of the guard (leave above the bumper the original gold??)

not sure yet.. gonna do some fotoshoppin to see what looks good...

27's without more cutting, but 30's needs more front n some rear cutting...
bout 4-5 inches forward and 2 out, the front moved...

Looking nice, kinda like what I want to do if I can find a coupe... Used to know where 3 were, but they are all gone and I can't find one now that I want one.
Stick with the 27" IMO. Gearing helps on and offroad.

2nd guard cut n welded... broke 2 grinders so gotta wait to get a new cheapo one to clean them up for painting...

been cruizin around a bit, seems to handle like a gokart, shiteloads of camber untill i can sort out new front suspension to level the front out a bit... rear at lowest = 2" higher than front at highest.... lol... thinkin either coil over sleve kit n longer inserts or longer inserts with "airbag" above or below current spring...:P

got much negative camber?

2coupedup · Post by **2coupedup** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 11:02 am

heaps of negative damber... and with standard strut tops, need longer front suspension to compensate.... gotta sort out some kinda adjuastable strut tops and better height adjustment...

found a nice straight rippley dirt/rocky road got a lil confident testing at 100 in 3rd vibrating away lol...then hit a pretty S bend with deep pot holes (like deep sharp pot holes) all through it at about 60 sideways rally style and hit em all pretty hard.... and no bends or buckles or movement or anything so pretty happy so far....
