jalen Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah but roads in Washington don't like low cats at all especially freeways Link to comment
Skib Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah but roads in Washington don't like low cats at all especially freeways hahahaha too true. you can drive shit that low in like AZ or somewhere flat. but your fucked in the NW :lol: alot of low dattos look great, but I just find the whole "hella flush" hard parking thing ridiculous. I feel like its just the next bandwagon. the fanboy bandwagon went from F&F hondas, to jdm tyte yo! drifter 240sx's and now there moving on to hardparking.... they look good (Indy and sixty nine dime are great examples) but like Indy has said many times, its that low for pics, you cant drive it like that. and if you cant drive a car... whats the point? if I want to spend money on a car I can only look at... .... Ill spend the money on a nice frame. and I know not all slammed cars are hardparked. and props to those that still use their car..... well, like a car. lol just my thoughts and 2 cents tho. I dig this this thread, esp cuz your one of the younger dudes. and I dig ComicArtist's thread too, I stay up to date on both along with many others. Link to comment

Uber Deaf One Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Lows a lifestyle! Most people who drive slammed cars and are into the whole hard parked thing say this... why? Proof right there this whole slammed hard parked thing is just another fad. It'll die off in a couple years and all these bandwagoners will move onto the next thing. hahahaha too true. you can drive shit that low in like AZ or somewhere flat. but your fucked in the NW :lol: alot of low dattos look great, but I just find the whole "hella flush" hard parking thing ridiculous.

I feel like its just the next bandwagon. the fanboy bandwagon went from F&F hondas, to jdm tyte yo! drifter 240sx's and now there moving on to hardparking.... Next? Lol, its pretty much been here for the past 2-3 year with all the stanced/hellaflush/form>func/hard parkin blogs n forums that have surface recently-ish.

Proof right there this whole slammed hard parked thing is just another fad. It'll die off in a couple years and all these bandwagoners will move onto the next thing. Werd. Just for clarification i dont drive a slammed car, simply quoting the "bandwagoners" as you put it and all my friends who give me shit when i make fun of them for scraping over speed bumps and dogding man holes! Edit: Oh and what does hard parked mean? never heard that before Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hardparking, show queen, trailer queen, garage princess, and mall cruiser are pretty much "done up" cars that only park and goto meets but never actually USE there parts other than to show off . Edit: people forget that parts say "for racing use only" Link to comment
jalen Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 how do you remove the strut from the strut tube? Link to comment

Edit: people forget that parts say "for racing use only" some forget that parts also say "recommended for offroad use only." or just "for offroad use only!" Link to comment

Let us know how it goes, ive never done it but will have to on my 510 in the upcoming weeks Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 how do you remove the strut from the strut tube? At the top of the strut tube, where the shock piston comes out of the strut tube, there's a bigass hex nut. Its like 2 inches, you can't miss it. The shock piston goes right through the middle of it. I had to use a pipe wrench and a big hammer to get mine off. Link to comment
jalen Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 okay so one i take that off and cut my strut tube, will i have to re thread the inside? Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 okay so one i take that off and cut my strut tube, will i have to re thread the inside? Cut below the threads, weld the thread part back on... Link to comment
jalen Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I see I realized there's hasn't been pics for awhile. So ill throw some up tomorrow Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cut below the threads, weld the thread part back on... Yup ^^^ In addition, be careful not to burn through when welding back on... some struts have pretty thin tubing. ... best bet is welding with gas ... or just be extra careful without ;) Link to comment

DAT510 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 What they said, try to do short beads, don't wanna warp the tube. A old Welder told me that if you put copper anything behind you're welding you have less chance of warping it, cause the copper acts like a heat sink and absorbs the heat from the weld. haven't welded long enough to use the method though Link to comment
