flatcat19 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Welcome to Ratsun! Good intro! Car is gorgeous. That motor is beautiful. FAP. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I dont get whats going on with the rear quarters. Are the quarters fiberglass flared? or bondoed? or? I say figure out a way to complete the body line all the way back and the car is a SAWEEETTT ride. Thats my ONLY gripe. I love the color, love the motor, hell i dig the whole car minus the missing bodyline. Quote Link to comment
Cameron. Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 like i said i have a LOT of plans for this car and plan to hold on to this gem for a while. my previous car was a full bolt on LS1 FC rx7, and prior to that a 400whp rb25 type x s13, and surprisingly out of all the cars ive built this one is my favorite by far! ^ and yea i know exactly what you mean. :/ I'm not too big of a fan either.. they are fiberglass over fenders though molded in, i wonder how i could complete the body line?

Twodoordime Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 ahh ok they are fiberglass. The combination of the color and the photos i couldnt tell if it was flared or just bondoed over. Well i think id prefer bre flares. It doesnt look bad just strange without the bodyline. The car is fantastic looking just wierd that it vanishes then re-appears. I love the tiny tube front bumper! its also the first car i actually REALLY liked the shaved handles and locks! Just personal opinion but fix the bodyline and this car is a 9/10...im in love.

Twodoordime Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Just watched the "first got it running video" and NOW i see how much its flared in the rear. Quote Link to comment
Cameron. Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 it's definitely something that ive been wanting to look into trust me haha and i really appreciate the kind words man. means a lot! and yea they are pretty flared.. about even with the fronts to be honest.

Twodoordime Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I dont mean to put your car down at all man trust me. its 100x nicer than my daily 510 lol. Goodluck with any mods you do and i look forward to this cars progress! Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Those mirrors you linked to might be a bit short for use as a fender mirror. Notice how fender mirrors have that long stalk to them. Quote Link to comment
Cameron. Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 they should work its just the fact that in the picture i posted look how small the "bullet" is compared to the ones i linked. they look like they rise up enough. and if not.... could just fab some spacers, cause the demensions of the base plate are listed right there on the site LOL.

flatcat19 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Get some. Lets see how they look. Keep up the good work. What were some of those other cars photobombing in your pics? Quote Link to comment
Cameron. Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm gonna contact the people first and just see if they could be used on the fenders. and are you talking about the other Z's? Quote Link to comment
