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.
Keen to see this move forward Roman, stop buying cars and focus on the Crown please.
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.
how do all the bozozoku guys in japland get their big body crowns etc so low static?
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.
