rayray 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 i think the mb's look more tits and will probably end up costing the same in the end since it's shipping to canada eh. they're probably in stock too and better offset than the XXR's plus "taking orders soon! avail winter 2009"... winter 2009 ends in 1 day. got a hunch they won't be shipping any time soon for those gullflame knockoffs. worth the wait for some decent/cheap drift spares though in the future.

shawley 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 Well have not figured out my wheels yet, big bump in the road came today, my Vertex kit came into my work, the rear bumper came cracked in 2 pieces, and the front bumper was nearly cracked in half, thanks to customs or the shipping company. So the stuff got sent back. now i'm left waiting for this claim to go thru, or for the claim process to start. And then get a new kit shipped out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mats 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 is it really worth sending it back adn waiting all that time? if its just broke in 2 peices, just fiberglass it back together. i was seriously considering having my contact in japan to cut the kit in half to save on shipping.

I was on the phone with the president of vertex when it got dropped off, and he told me straight up, do not accept it, send it back, I could of kept it, hell, it got delivered to my stereo shop, and we have a full wood room/custom shop we could of fixed it that day, but it's still the point they fucked it hard, went thru 2 freight companies, one from vertexusa to canadian customs, then one from customs to my shop.

shawley 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 So i'm still figuring out wheels, bought some tenzo dc6's for fucking cheap for 18x9.5+25 localy test fitting Then started to install my Serial Nine solid subframe bushings They stock ones were a bitch to get out, didn't have a blow torch so raceready improvised, about a half hour after i went and bought a blow torch Bushings are all in, same with the weld diff bushings i ordered back in 2008 before G had the X90 parts, but I think i'm gonna have to talk to him about getting the S9 solid mount diff bushings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cbass 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 Oh shiit. Those subframe bushings look identical to aristo parts. Better message G and see if I can afford some lol. Those wheels look alright I'd say. But I do think the battles will look better since the have less of a lip. Keep up the good work shawley! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shawley 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2010 And a bit of my vinyl Trying to figure out what color to paint the cage/interior Thinking either all bright green, or gun metal cage with a black interior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudgetVIP 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2010 Gunmetal will go with the car perfectly. It always seems whenever somebody paints something bright green on their car, it fails in some way or another but it's not like the cage can get rodknock or constant flat tires. Looking good so far.
