WagDatto Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 What are your plans for rear flares? Interested to hear, since I'll be doing mine sometime in the near-ish future Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I got to take a few pictures before the swap meet yesterday, while we were waiting for Chris to show up. Tell me what you think of my rack (no homo) Quote Link to comment
VRTSid Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think it looks pretty sweet Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Here I come to bring this thread back. I felt quite sacrilegious, so I copped a Bluebird grill, and I'm rocking it hard. Pictures taken from the Hella NorCal BBQ Crew meet last Sunday. Anybody in NorCal should come to the next one. Tentative date is Aug 30'th. Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 love the new grill! Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah I've had the Bluebird grill for less than two weeks and already found a screaming deal on a 68 SSS grill in PERFECT condition. Someone talk me out of it!! Quote Link to comment

WagDatto Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'll let ya's know when I hear back from him. I just emailed him back for a real price. Considering the rarity and the quality, the price is currently set at "not cheap" but I'll post up. Quote Link to comment
LeX Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 if i can afford it ill buy the bluebird grille :P Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 So I'm ready to finally replace my shocks on the Boso Goon. Here's the issue: I'm pretty much slammed as far as I'm going to go. That means I have very little travel before my shocks bottom out. I want to get something that has a shorter stroke, is a fairly direct bolt on and has adjustable damping.. I've heard one person mention short stroke Camaro shocks being a pretty much direct replacement, giving the correct travel and available with adjustable damping. That being said, is this a mod ONLY Sedans can use, or am I able to rock the same upgrade as well? HELP!! Quote Link to comment

HELP!! i saw your question answered in the other forum :) but I was wondering, didn't you fit 7.5 width wheels under stock 510 fenders? Think I can fit a 16x7.5 +15 with 280zx brakes and rolled or rolled and pulled front no problem? I can use a small spacer too if need be Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The actual wheel specs are 15x7 -12. The thing is, 7" wide and 12mm negative offset pushes the lip out, so fitment is JUST ABOUT the same as a 7.5" wheel with a zero offset. Fitment would be the same as 15x7.5 +0, but my wheels are 15x7 -12. Confusing, but hope that helps! EDIT: to answer your question, the only fitment issue I could forsee is against the strut/coils to the INSIDE of the wheel. After a spacer, you might need to roll/pull a little, but you can prolly squeeze things in there with a 195/50 pretty easilly Quote Link to comment
