Cory1750 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks good. Agree you need to raise the rear. What coil overs? All four seized? Thanks, they are ISC coilovers, not sure which model because they were installed by the previous owner. Yeah all four are seized but I dont think its too bad. Just got a new spanner wrench and plan on working them with some vinegar in a spray bottle and a wire brush over the weekend and putting some 15mm spacers on the back. Hopefully I can break them loose enough to come up an inch. Can you believe this car used to be lower than this? When I bought it I brought it up almost two inches. But to be fair the previous owner had different wheels so maybe it sat a little higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebourne Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hey, 15mm spacers need to have studs on them and the wheels have space on the back for existing studs to poke through. About 3mm is all you should run on the stock studs, although with 5mm you can still torque the nut. With 15mms you won't even be able to get the nut started or torqued. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 How-to is on the Home page. Basically, you have them hosted off-site, so depending whether you want to load them to the site for posterity, or to just temporarily post them, use Manage Attachments or the Insert Image process, respectively. For site loading: New Post > > paste your picture URL into the Upload File from a URL box and click upload. You can does this 2 at a time, which is what I did with yours. Then save your post. For temporary posting: New Post > > paste your picture URL into the dialogue box and hit Enter. Then save your post. BTW - to get to your picture URL, I right-clicked your IS picture and chose View Picture, then copied the *.jpg URL for pasting into the MA box. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 The other reason that you could load your pictures from the Nasioc "gallery" was your photos were loaded to Nasioc's server. Using enables you to load your photos from your host-site's server. And, bonus, once your photos are loaded to the site, you can them into any other thread similar to your gallery process on Nasioc. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooosh Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Epic fail? Sorry if so. I’m 39, not an idiot but just completely computer illiterate. I’ll figure it out. I’ll play on my new member post so I don’t muck up the thread. Beautiful cars btw. Makes me jelly. Thanks for your help .

seanyb505 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I get the whole body swap deal is neat and all. But I'm a fan of the big butt by comparison. Yeah most jdm bumpers make it look like the car was rear ended then hit the car in front. Everything is just smushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooosh Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah most jdm bumpers make it look like the car was rear ended then hit the car in front. Everything is just smushed. I get that. Kind of agree but my goal at the end here is to make this more of a “sport wagon” and not a “station wagon.” My main point to swapping bumpers anyways was the cohesion of the side profile from the rockers to the rear bumper with the rear valance that comes on the JDM bumper. Nice clean flow from sides to rear. Also the USDM bumper shows the exhaust cans from the side profile as well and that just bothered the hell outta me. And at a price tag of $250 shipped no other options compared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 No need to justify. Totally understand the look cohesion. Just a personal preference. Nice price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
