Draker Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Where at in Oregon are you? and where did you find such a beautiful car!!! Quote Link to comment
illest Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks but thats the good side, plans for now are lower much lower and I'm still trying to decide on what motor to put in it, any suggestions?... but ya I'm in Eugene and I got it from a guy in cali. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Woah... nice! I'm in Eugene as well. Where in California did you find this? I ask because I am so jelly.. lol Did you buy and drive it up here, did you ship or flatbed it? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 . You physically can't go much lower, and the motor you choose will affect how low you "can" go ... I haven't seen a shell that clean for sale in Cali for 10 years ..... lower=less driveable/valuable Quote Link to comment

illest Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well its time for an update I picked up a pair of SSR MK-II but had to order lug nuts from Japan (they took over a month to arrive came in today) So until then I decided to clean up my floors before after cleaning and prep POR-15'ed full floor shot after 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Love the updates. I've got a tool that can open those locks in under 10 seconds.. And yes it would unlock it... Not break it. They are a good replacement lock but I wouldn't call them better security. I saw someone post a guide to rekeying old datto locks. I was planning on buying new locks, now I'm going to rekeying them all so they match again. Quote Link to comment

If someone wants to get in a car and plan it, they'll do it regardless of locks. Quote Link to comment

Honestly, most people wouldn't be able to open them because they would be planning forms datto key. But they would probably then break the window, lol. Quote Link to comment

Dat510_Chris Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think the $6.50 per lug nut was worth it, the tires look nice. Quote Link to comment
