Kaido Crown

Roman, why you do this?

Needs 15's and proper shit done.

[180roman]

Ha ha, just kidding.
I was bored and waiting for tires, so I fitted the 19*9/10 +19
It was funny to drive so much scrub and rim lip touching guards.

I chucked the 17*9/10 +25 SSR FMs on for now

I wanna see this thing demon cambered out!!

[SebastienPeek]

SSR's look better, but still, get busy making this oni cambered as fuck man

A few people might know but my progress has been quite slow since I decided to acquire more cars.
So a fair bit of my time and money has been directed to getting those cars registered.

I now have a Honda City and an R31 Skyline added to the stable as well.



Oh and of course I couldn't resist and had to buy some wheels for the City.



4x100 Star Sharks like a Boss

Been hunting around for a D16Y1 sohc VTEC motor to swap into it

Both the City and the R31 are not registered, with the R31 becoming my cheapskate drift car, so I'm dropping S13 front suspension left over from my 180 in it and a few other basic mods.
But currently it just sits parked up while I save for a HD clutch.



So the Crown just patiently awaits while I figure out what I can do with the suspension to get it lower.
At this point I need to be figuring out a coilover setup, so I've been on a look out for some free blown coilovers, preferably something like an MX5 as they have really short bodies, so I can do some mock ups and figure out what to order.

[SebastienPeek]

MX5 shock bodies are small as, should be good.

Keen to see this move forward Roman, stop buying cars and focus on the Crown please.

how do all the bozozoku guys in japland get their big body crowns etc so low static?

Thats what I'm thinking.

The front shock is damn short as is, so lowering I recon I will end up with like a less than 300mm coilover length.

Technically I don't necessarily need a coilover setup in the front, just a shock that can cope with a high spring rate. But I also want the height adjustability which is why coilover is a much better choice.

Most bozo Toyotas sedans are based on the *X** platform which is Crestas, Mark IIs and Chasers

They have a McPherson front end with a primitive IRS very similar to the Crown.
The Crown has a more complicated double wishbone front end though and there is virtually no aftermarket support for my model other than some slightly stiffer shock to go with like 40mm lowering springs.

There are only a handful of *S12* Crown shakotan/bozo/kaido cars out there and most of those guys would just make do with whatever they got and make up their own suspension.
Kinda like I am trying ha ha.

There is nothing that can't be done, it just needs more time and money thrown at it

[electricalbox]
