So I have been away from the car forum thing for a bit. But I wanted to start a build thread to document my journey to aggressive front camber race/track stance as well as functioner..
A little history on my car is it was purchased from a guy on here, paul. It used to be on bags and have oz futuras. I then purchased it, and put it on chrome staggered 18" style 32's, Shortly after putting those on I broke the oil pan driving around Seattle streets... Oops. Anyways fast foward a bit and the engine began to develop rod knock, 22x,xxx miles is a bit for a car that has broken probably 5 pans in its life time haha. Anyways it ended up throwing a rod out the side of the block after getting worse and worse. So it was time to pay up. I purchased a 6x,xxx mile swap and swapped it out on my own, which was a task in itself and I would for sure pay someone next time.
To make a long story short, its had a bit of a hard life in my hands. I got discouraged for a bit and just wanted to sell it. However ive been bitten by the car modding bug again and I would like to just document it properly for once, which is something I always wish I would do when building a car.
Here it is stock:
Here is it when paul owned it and the front was bagged:
More:
Another local guy and I when I had style 32's and on coils:
This is a somewhat cheater pic, but it was low. I broke the pan once:
And another shitty cell photo since I never really had time to take pictures:
Anyways, you get the point. The car has had a few other stages too but the future is a little different. Like I said I would like to have a lot of front camber 6 degrees would be nice. But there will be no stretched tires if possible I am going for more of an aggressive track/race car look.
This will be added to periodically as I get more things in for it. Camber plates and arms will be on order shortly along with adjustable sway bar end links. The build will come in stages, suspension will take priority for a while though.
Any input is well received.
