This is the test vehicle im building to protoype all the SERIALNINE parts. Basically all the parts i've done for my car, but now im doing X8 stuff. . The product line will consist of basically suspension shit that X8 owners need to be competitive in the track/drift, and stuff to make 1J's easier to swap. We'll be hitting all the local (inc. USA) events and car shows etc.
The concept for this car is basically my style of drift car. . More like the oldskool underground japanese street style rather than the D1 or pro style. . Big phat rims, super fuckin low, clean but withh lots of chrome vinyl . . Ghetto bling if you will. .
Car is from USA withh passive belts SOOOO GAY!!!
(they're long gone now), was purchased for $150 and will be BLACK.
Stockness
Checking the front clearance withh a 18x9+19 and 225/40 18. I wanted to clear it withh a bigger tire than what we are actually gonna run. . We will run 215/40 on the front.
What we do is take out the springs and lower the supension to full compression, then turn the wheel from lock to lock withh the proper wheel/tire on. then where it hits the fender, we utilize THOR.
Back of front fender clearance @ full lock. (you can see the prior damage from before we bought it.) Remember this is a 225/40 18 on a 9J+19
Front of the Front fender clearance. This is the killer one as you see all the poundage inside the engine bay.You gotta pay to play. . (That's what bondo is for
)
After that the Harnesses are disconnected and Re-routed to the Top of the inner fender and secured via zipties through drilled holes. This is a VERY important step unless you want your harness to look like this.
18x10+11 and 225/40 18 . .
Fender seam Cut, and Oh Shit. . Rust and Bondo. . Nothing nicer to find inside. .Fucking Rust. Fucking Bondo
Inner fender cut about 2 inches up. There is actually a third piece in between the inner and outer that supports the inner fender on the very top of the inner fender, THOR had to deal withh this. You can see the INSIDE of the outer fender now. . allowing you more freedon in forming the fenders since you have direct access to the backside of the outer fender.
The piece that got cut out.
Voila, Fenders are a little rough and the front fenders missing right now. . will be on and modded soon. But you get the picture. .It will only get better from here. .
