yeah so the rear is done.....I got the gears swapped but haven't had a chance to put them back in the housing ........found out she did break my nose :crying:  .....lol but I forgot to update the front .....my plasma is gonna be wore out ..... hans was nice enough while working on the rear to blow apart the front end and trim all the stuff I trimmed off his frame off for me ... no more droop snubber,   no more stock snubber mounts ... re contoured the arc of the crossmember mount to allow for more articulation of the front... between the raised shock towers I did months ago and this it should be Cadillac low and ride good too .....im excited ...

lets just say in 15 years I prolly did something to deserve it but I like my beatings to be seen when there coming.....getting blasted when u don't see it sucks ....heres the worse part,   dried bloody boogars that I cant pick so I cant breath and every now and again I shoot one out during a conversation....I fucked up the shower this morning with gross ass farmer blows ...so back to datsuns .. prolly get my gear set in this week and the air shocks on too ......I need to see this btich on the gorund to see how much we fucked up the back and hopw much lower I will have to go in the front to make it sit level .... that's when I will know if I just sacrificed turning for the lows... which I hope I did...

remember ratsun is my facebook so I share things on here I would only share with my friends ....I like to think I can come here let off some steam joke a bit and tell u guys some things that maybe I need to get off my chest ....thats why I miss the nwd boys .... I don't like telling storys twice ....maybe we can laugh about it at the fest red,  I definitely got caught with a shot....been awhile since I had to take sometime to get my vision back ....... I told my buddy it was a 100 bux if he didn't pick it up personally at the fest ....

holy moly you cut all the stuff off the frontend!

 

if you sit on the front does it get the engine crossmember on the ground, or do the tires or anything else hit before then?

 

i almost cut out everything on my 620, but the firewall and the clutch master are in the way now. ive angled the clutch master up on mine to keep it clear. with the 17s it would still barely rub on big bumps.

 

i figured i needed to have some sort of failsafe position, in case i bust a torsion bar or somethin...

 

oh yeah, did you move the rear shackle point on the frame up? i like that idea.

the 18's already rub the inner fenders .... the crossmember wont be able to touch it will lock out before that happenes and the tires would be barking the inner fenders first too ....its all in the name of the lows..... plus if its totally fucked up I guess I will just bag my extra frame real quick....should be ok .... im most concerned with how low he rear is and if I will have to come down in the front and how that will affect my ability to steer ....... its making it to the fest if I have to back around ever corner on the way there...
