  • Awhaddap!

    My friend (Daviticus on this site) posted up pics of his Shelby Lancer on bumpstops, which led me to joining the site before I sat down for a nice long gaming session. With that said...

    A little bit about myself: I live in the southern end of the Salt Lake City, Utah. I'm a DJ on hiatus, attempting to get my life in order. My daily driver at the moment is actually a long board, thanks to a little financial trouble. However I still own my current project, and hope to resume progress on it as soon as possible. Now, this is the part where you'll understand why a well received Dodge Lancer would make me feel alright about joining Stance Works (aside from an unrelenting obsession with wheels that make better cereal bowls)

    My project is a 1988 Camry Wagon.



    It's main feature is the ES250 nose conversion. This, to my knowledge, is the only wagon with an ES250 nose. It's also been dropped on a set of Tanabe springs, which were originally intended for an FC RX-7 (that Daviticus used to own) I want to somehow find some more low, or craft together a kit that'll bring the ground clearance to a minimum, but these cars don't seem to lower well.

    The goal with the car at the moment, aside from getting it road legal, is to create a Bosozoku cruiser. More specifically, somewhere between Shakotan and early VIP. But really the inspiration comes from 'holier-than-thou' function-over-form guys, and my urge to distance myself from that mind set. I want the car to put a smile on my face, and that's simply the only concern. Even then, thoughts are much appreciated.

    I look forward to lurking through the boards, and if you have any questions, I'd love to answer.

    Word good sir. Welcome aboard. Though I should clarify about the springs, they're Tanabe Pro-210 springs used on coil-overs, I just happened to ham-fist them onto the FC, and subsequently, the wag. If I remember right they are 10k up front, and 8k in the rear.

    It's only a matter of time now before Jason officially welcomes you to S/W. Then, you're as good as in. Baptism with fire, so they say.

        Si and si. Was planning on specifying in the eventual build thread, but hey, there you go.

                Thank you sir. Hopefully it'll be more interesting in the coming months. When I have some things to do, there'll be a project log.
