The Fluid MotorUnion 500SL Build Thread (56k, no bloody way)

Great work.

Like you could even consider doubting those welds. Hell Im on the other side of the world and I could tell the strength they held.

Is that it for suspension modifications? Or should I wait for the wheel and tire set up before I say "needs more lows" ?

If we add our secret wheels to the SL, and it needs "moar low," then we'll end up buying lowering springs for it. They do sell lowering springs for this model of SL; the only problem is that their drop is only about 1.25-1.5". That's why we modded the suspension. But if we need to drop it more after fitting the wheels, we'll buy the springs for the next inch and a half or so.

what you guys doin with them wheel when youre done lololol

love the height!

Haha thanks, Vegas. And I don't know what we're doing with those wheels. You should buy them, paint them Takata Green and put them on your E30

cant wait for the next update, you guys dont cut any corners, would have never thought about modding the arms like you chose to do

I'll give you one of the dimensions. I'll give you the number, but I won't tell you what it is (offset, diameter, etc.)

14.

That's all you're getting...
