ha thanks man!

ahhh damnit ive been spotted!!

Ahh even better now the fronts come down

ha thanks man!

this leads to my next update...Cutting the towers for my UCA

So the time has come where i finally mustered up the courage to cut my car up. I wanted to lower the front to close that ugly gap i had before


But before any of this, i got my first ticket for my exhaust being too loud


Pansy ass cops...



Back to my story, anyways after the ticket i decided "fuck cops" and go lower. couldnt go lower cause UCA would slap towers so i said those fuckers gotta go!

Tried and failed badly with a 3" hole saw, so i asked my dad to help, since he worked in a sheet metal factory in management for over 15+ years, and he grabbed his cutter and got to work



After the first cuts we started pulling and yanking till it came off



Final product(didnt get any photos of the other side)


Yes i know its huge for such a little problem buttfuckit cause ill get it fixed soon. The other side we cut a little to far forward so it still hits about 2-4mm of the UCA

After that was done i dropped the front 1", before/after:




If you can see it, my front bumper is holding up my alarm buttons


So now i scrape going in a straight line on the flattest ground, believe me i am more than happy with the fitment and look,but... the coils are shit so im bouncing everywhere, i already have stiffer springs on there and maxed out the dampness sooo....... new coil overs soon..and hopefully some 30k+ springs for extreme stiffness and then im getting all new rear arms for more camber and then RCAs for the front

And thats it for now

damn you got an exhaust ticket? thats fuckin gay. my car is loud as fuck too and i havent been pulled over for it. a cop even gave me a thumbs up at a light haha

[keenan]

this is nice man. keep up te good work. now i gotta step my game up lol

[Kennyy]

thats so fire...quick question for the uca hole do you think a square cut will hold without cracking on the corners over pressure or is it better to cut in more of a round shape? I've been wanting to do this to my z so i can go a little lower when aired down and i **** the noise my ucas make when driving

[Randomofodication]

Looks so awesome at the new height. Love the two tone paint

I would go with circles, I cut squares cause I was impatient. Ya my UCAs made the same noise, but ya it helps a lot!

So as some of you guys may have seen on instagram, Stank LS claimed its first oil pan victim the other day...

I was coming home from Pole Position around 1030 at night, going about 70-75 mph, if i was going slower i would of missed it. But it hit and it sounded like a bomb went off, i immediately pulled over, turned off my car and called my friends.

Friends came, and helped me push my car to a better spot to get towed, was not fun.



The culprit:


The towing company knew their lowered car shit lol




Got dropped off at the specialist..


Annnddd, 4+ hours and $600 later my car is back on the road



Yes i know it sounds expensive for a oil pan fix, but the part alone is $250 brand new, new oil drain plug, new filter, new oil, and then labor. Great work and amazing customer service, love this shop, they are Eastman Toyota and Lexus in Murrieta,CA. highly recommend them!

And thats my story

But now the car needs new spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, flushed out tranny, and little things to help it run better.

[FunfGang]

It looked good before, but now that the front is down it just looks absolutely on point, love it!


Also I **** to ask a question that's probably been asked 30 times or more, but it's 3am and I'm lazy, any plans to bring the rear down a tad?
