Edz280zx Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Damn...that looks good Bonvo!! I actually kinda like the front wheels you got on it, but the rears can probably fit a little bit more tire than they can. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 The strut housing or the cartridge? i would rather do the whole housing brakes and all but i might be able to get away with just cartrages i know lynch doesnt it look just bad ass Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 That is a great look for the car. Just enough fenderwell to be bearable. I had to raise mine up to get that height in the back that you've got. Very damn clean. Be careful and get the car complete, then go over the systems one by one. Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Cool. Did you start the car Bonvo??? Did it actually move on its own??? That warrants a celebration! What tire size do you have on the back?? You might need to go a size down on the front, to allow it to sit low and have no issues upon steering, but you know how that goes, trial and error. With my car I think I will use my rear set I had been using always, the 205/60/14. The front will be smaller ( tire size ) .. later on I will find out the proper size...once lowered to where we want it to be, then the right tire size can be determined. My 710 ( a different car, it has smaller wheel wells than the 610 ) works a lot better with the 185/60 than with the 195/60s. ( same wheels, 14X7 on both tire sizes ). The 195s rubbed in the front on bumps and speed bumps, the 185 never do! , feels great. Those yellow high beams look very cool.

WagDatto Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 With the struts, did you replace the inserts, or are you still using whatever was in there? I'd probably start by cracking that one open and taking out the insert and see what it looks like. I think it's PROBABLY the insert, because if the strut is bent a little, I dont think it would affect the stroke of the insert enough to lock it in place like that. I hope you can drive this thing on the 16th! I'm gunnin' for ya! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 lookin good bonvo! :fu: thanks skib its getting there :D almost ready to drive almost :P With the struts, did you replace the inserts, or are you still using whatever was in there?

I hope you can drive this thing on the 16th! I'm gunnin' for ya! im thinking its the insert as well considering the strut looked straight you can see in the pictures it looks straight im gonna try a little trick zerow told me and see what happens Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Share your secrets with us! Hopefully its rollin' around for the swap meet! The 16th is coming up quick... Does it start? If it comes down to it, fill your struts with cement and roll to the meet with a busted back! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 zerow sugested that i undo the nut at the top of the strut to see if i get travel back if i do its the strut housing if i dont its the insert no the motor has not been started since the accedent but it shouls sound cool threw open manifold :D im hoping i can make it to the meet but i may not be able to Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 At least COME to the meet! It's a party and a half down there! You've gotta cruise out in SOMETHING! Make someone drop you off in Sacramento, and you can cruise down in our caravan! Bonvo, I'll hate you forevers if yous not comings down! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 i wanna go :( i just need a ride i gots no wheels :P Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hang on!!! That nut keeps the spring compressed doesn't it. If you undo it will expand and you won't get the nut back on. Is the other side ok? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 glad to see it coming together man :D Quote Link to comment
