datsunfreak Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 on a four door or goon i found its not the intial lip its the stepped jamb lip that's hard to clear.. I hate those step lips, but loooove 4drs. So conflicted... ^_^ i liked the 175 55 on his wagon too ... do u think that would be enough on a goon to clear that inner lip...i know the rear camber aids in fitting some pretty dope wheels...goons no camber u run into new fitament issues On a sedan, totally. On a goon, probably not. The 15x8 +0 with a 195/50-15 would roll down the road on my 4dr, but rubbed like crazy. Switching to a 7" wheel with a 175 is an extra 10mm of clearance, so in theory it would totally work. I might find out soon... :lol: ps still loving your car a day later....i used it in my back ground screensaver bomb i do to my customers when at there shops... your car is featured on every monitor at a company that builds water treatment systems company across the street... I like this one better... :) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 And one more pic of a dime I built that I miss a lot... :wub: After owning 23 different 510s, that white one is still my favorite. Maybe because it had A/C... :lol: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 John, out of the ones Ive seen you own, I like the bamboo posted earlier. Clean, simple color, flag fender mirrors... only think I dont like is that its a 2dr, but most prefer those over 4drs cause theyre "sporty." 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 John, out of the ones Ive seen you own, I like the bamboo posted earlier. Clean, simple color, flag fender mirrors... It was the best daily driver of the bunch. Leather '02 Maxima interior, A/C, tinted windows, nice stereo set-up and reasonably good ride. The white 2dr was just more "fun" to drive. And I loved that is had original paint. Haven't owned too many of those... only think I dont like is that its a 2dr, but most prefer those over 4drs cause theyre "sporty." 2drs are ugly. All the cool kids prefer 4drs. B) A 2dr sedan is kinda the worst of both worlds to me. Useless back seat, but tall roof. If you want "sporty", get a coupe. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 . There's alot of DIY kits, pre-made frames , or make your own frame Locusts with anything from Miata suspension/motor donors to Hayabusa cars under 900lbs .... I wish this was a pic of my dime ... :lol: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 how much did the frame cost? that might have to go on my list of future projects....it's too cool not to... "Complete" car minus engine/trans was $10k. Bare frame starts around $2200-2500. This one was "some assembly required" though. :P Side note, the newer versions are set up for IRS, using a Nissan R200 diff. B) Quote Link to comment
