Siqx20 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Wheels and tires mounted. debating if I want to lower it like a inch. This is a DD and I still want it to be able to drive to go camping and stuff. So it won't be getting slammed. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Give your very cool wagon some justice. Go to a park, have a picnic, use that "park bench" bumper for the occassion ( display your ketchup, mustard, sodas and the like ) on it while sitting on it with your significant other and after the outing, unbolt it from the car and leave it there, donate it to the park. Your wagon will appreciate it , it will lose 100lbs of fat. It is like having a nice child with awfull teeth. You have to take him to the dentist. Physically and psychologically that kid will appreciate the work. Your wagon will appreciate it performance wise ( less weght ) and physically it will look like a million bucks ahead ! 1 Quote Link to comment

Siqx20 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have to have a front bump by law... I agree its ugly. it will prolly stay until I can find something to replace it with. Thanks for the story tho. I still need to clean all the metal trim for the grill and reinstall. Its on the to do list. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have to have a front bump by law... I agree its ugly. it will prolly stay until I can find something to replace it with. Thanks for the story tho. I still need to clean all the metal trim for the grill and reinstall. Its on the to do list. What law is that? I have searched for a few hours in Oregon Law, and never came up with anything conclusive. Just "bumper has to be certain height from ground" not that you had to have a bumper. I ran around for some time without one, and never got pulled over, didnt even have a front plate (which I know is illegal, I did have 3 cops pull U-turns after me, but then I guess they saw my well illuminated rear plate and gave up).

Siqx20 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I got pulled over the first day for not having a front bump in my 620. Then he gave me a lecture on why i "should" have a rear one. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Havnt ran a front bumper on anything in..... Since 99? 01 maybe lol , ive gotten pulled over more than plenty. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hey Siqx20, have you seen that gray 710 goon in Rogue River i think its for sale but just wondering if you seen it i would love to own it. :devil: I see your 710 all the time at that shop. :ninja: Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The rigs looking really good man.. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've gotten pulled over for not having a front bumper before like almost 2 years ago, but the cop was more concerned why my front plate wasn't on the front. All I said was my car got hit a while back which is true and my bumper doesn't fit anymore until I can get it to a body shop. Basically told me not to drive it told him it was my only car and it's my daily driver so it wasn't gonna happen. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 So...... thinking about lowering it... i keep seeing these 710 goons all low and it makes me jelly. I understand the rear is drop blocks, i have some 3" blocks which i would use. I hear camaro shocks are shorter and work better? Any info on that? Also how are ppl lowering the front on the cheap? Im not racing this thing. Just driving it. So i dont much care for the high dollar performance way. Just something that doesnt ride like complete ass hole. And doesnt cost alot... cause im just starting a new job so im a little tight. Quote Link to comment
