Finally, Some Pokage Pics...

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

Ok Guys and Gals, the moment you've all been waiting for. I finally got around to installing my coilovers, camber plates and camber arms. And most importantly, my new wheels.

So, on to the pics

New set-up -

The wheels you've all seen -

During the install -

And after a good wash -

Just one b&w -

Here, you can see how muchy pockage there is -

And Finally, some night pics -

A new decal -

As you can see, i removed the tint from the headlights. Replaced my Euro tails for another set with clear turn signals. I still need to repaint my front clip and doors. And my lip, i scraped it already.

In all honesty, i really like how it looks, but not how it rides. To rough, bumpy. I had to not use the rear adjusters nor the front helper springs to get this low. I'm maxed out at camber, i'm safe if i add some positive camber so i won't ruin the tires so soon. But since i won't be dailying it, i can live with it. My streets down here aren't really that nice to drive on in a regular car, so these don't help :lol:
I'm still trying to figure out what air pressure i should be running. Any thoughts? :dunno:

Anywho, comment on.

As hawt as the car is, I have two things to say that you may want to think about...

1. Have you considered Roush side skirts?

2. For the next set of tires, my tatse would tell you to go about 30 or 40 mm wider. Just too much stretch IMO.

Overall, I would give it a 9.8 out of 10

Re: Finally, Some Pockage Pics...

Thanks buddy.

As for the skirts... yup. I have that in mind but haven't come across a set. So i have my eyes open for those. And as for the stretch, i have now found out that i can run a 215/40 tire. I have no rub with these, so i can safely upgrade when these are toast.

A 9.8 is more than enough for me

Great looking wagon!!!

Re: Finally, Some Pockage Pics...

Once the tires are wide enough to actually fit, I'd say it would be a ten!:lol:

Jonathan...you know that I love your car...but I'll never buy into this Stretch and Poke thing! It looks like that tire isn't even on the bead!!! I think those wheels would look SO badass without spacers and just with fatter tires. That's just me...

Thanks Man.

Yeah, i know. It's just a temp thing i guess. I do like it, but like i stated, the ride isn't my cup of tea.
It'll probably not last for long. I'll probably ruin a tire soon :lol:

I'm not running spacers. So a beafy tire would fub like crazy.

Thanks for the comments. I know it's not everyone's style, but i'm enjoying it :thumbup:

Very nice on all fronts. I love the rear lip on the wagon, really adds to the car. I like the euro estate tails also.

Awesome! i <3 camber

bigdaddyG8 · May 17, 2010

Re: Finally, Some Pockage Pics...

I used to love everything about your car...

and now I don't. :lol:

I'm just not feeling the wheel/tire thing at all.

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

Re: Finally, Some Pockage Pics...

Yup, wheels are 20 offset.

j20000 · May 17, 2010

Re: Finally, Some Pockage Pics...

That's what I had on my 350z. But with a 9.5" wide wheel. :lol: What width are those wheels?

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

haha! 17x9. Tires are 205/40's. Maybe a 215 would look better.

Fixed

j20000 · May 17, 2010

yeah...I had 275's on the rear of my Z! :lol: That was a 9.5" wheel, I had 8.5" wheels in the front with a +20 offset, and 245's on them....they were 18's though.

Drama · May 17, 2010

I love it!:wub:

sanzx360 · May 17, 2010

I too love the look of this. So it isn't for everybody. Who cares....

zx360 · May 17, 2010

i like it a lot

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

Again, thanks guys. I know it's not for everbody. So, positive and negetive feedback is welcome.

QJKXBM · May 17, 2010

how much negative camber do you have dialed in? Its hard to tell with that much of the rim poking out.

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

The LCR camber arms are maxed out. They're supposed to give you +5 and -1.5. But i think it's more then -1.5. Seems like -2.5 to me.

secondechomatt · May 17, 2010

looks like it could go down another inch or so.

Looks great!

SuperFlea · May 17, 2010

I tried :lol:

Front - Still have adjusters, all the way down. Not using the helper springs.
Rear - No adjusters, only using the spring and mount/cone/thingy with the threads.

Ray · May 17, 2010

Hey! That suspension looks familiar...

I love it. So much stretch there is a visible gap. Pimp man. Nice work.
It makes me wonder - how the **** (it's censored, but it's all in caps) did they set the ****ing bead ?!!?!?

:lol:

edit - i'm looking for a set of 17" wheels (again) for some track tires, if you need to get rid of those let me know. just be known they're going to be wrapped in some R888's...

Yup, it's the kit i bought from you

It wasn't hard to mount them, looky -

And ok, i'll keep you in mind if i want to sell them. I just might, you guys know i never hang on to one set of wheels. :lol:

Garrison · May 18, 2010

Mad =]

slverfocus13 · May 18, 2010

:lol: at the sticker....love the stance and wheels

phatcity · May 18, 2010

I still love the RS wheel wheel package. Mad drop this time around. I'm not a P'n'S guy though. Jealous as always, anyway lol.

CheckMyVitals · May 18, 2010

Absolutely love this.

Roush sides and shaving the sidemarkers from the SVT bumper and you'll be set.

02AllBlackSVT · May 18, 2010

Oh My...... I wish you guys were driving here instead of flying so I could see that wagon, one of my favorites.
