[kouki240]

yea some might think im crazy for rebuilding it :/ and i even wonder if i should have, but i made some great friends and learned a lot. in all honesty it probably wouldnt look like it does today if it hadn't have been wrecked and pushed me to get it done.

thanks for the compliments

[kouki240]

im sure theres lot i left out but blah blah blah its all the same. this car is my life and i love it

got some jdm rain visors and ruca's for the -3 and above camber in the rear






then after being addicted to goiing low i ended up maxing out how low i could go. also started rubbing on my upper rail some. soo i decided to lower the profile tire by 10 percent in the front. stock size is 205-55-16. so i decided to go with a 205-45. and omg. it brought it down alott. and i loved it











so me and my buddy started thinking of ways to go lower like we always do and decided to remove the locking collars on the coilovers. theres the perch the spring sets on, a locking collar for that, and a second collar for the base itself to lock the height adjustment.

so i removed all except the perch and came to this






ended up sagin the rear spring since the height was maxed out and the tire size was still factory to get it a little more even rather then the severe rake it had.




did some fender rolling a buddy of mine lent mew his tool in preperation for wheels to come




been thinking long and hard on correct size and offset and what not. was really hoping to get som work equips with a deeeep lip or vskf's but did towrk out. hopefully some day i'll have a set of equips.

now for wheels i decided i have to have no bigger then 17's in order to keep the tirsize ratio im running up front. and bigger rim size would result in too small a sidewall to keep my current lowww.

si i ended up going for a set of battles from mb. size is 17 x 9.5 with a +15 offset. from the calculations i made and measurements i figured it be pretty close.






of course i had to see how they sat right away and it was perfect for what i wanted. so i decided to go with 225-35-17's to stretch on them and match my current ratio. so i ordered the tires and attempted mounting them myself. my frist tire stretch. pretty proud of myself for pulling it off





eww you can see how sunk in the rears are in this pic compared to the new wheels.. after the new size was put on the back as well it brought the rear down even more











pretty happy with the way it sits. i scrape on everything obviously. recent discovery which is a little saddening to me is my frame rails. dragging them soo much the metal wore thin :/ i plan on boxxing it in very soonnn

Stunning work! I love the color! I am a bit odd though, I prefer the Zenki to the Kouki, but that's just me.
