turbo2 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 One of the photos I took of Kai's LGT while cruising with him and some other subies while I was in Hawaii. If you're on Facebook or Instagram check out my other work @synergymediaco, it's specifically automotive photography. Man, I wanted to come to this. I drove by while everyone was still at the nex but I had a family thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good! I'll probably see you around the Seattle area when I move back up there next spring. Good old mostly stock days on Koni struts and H&R springs. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh bummer, it was a really good time! It's cool to be able to go damn near anywhere and meet to with people who share the same passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzors25 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just tossed on some ISC coils and the whiteline KTA124 kit. Pretty content with the ride height.

elvin315 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Hopefully this lip lasts as long as it took to put on. NYC is completely unkind to anything lower than stock I know what you mean......I'm a Bronx Boy myself, though I don't live in The City now. Back in the '50s and '60s a lot of cars had Curb Feelers, wire whiskers that touched obstacles before any real damage could be done. The scraping noise was your warning. Good idea but too tacky for the 21st century. Naturally there's an electronic solution, but it's pricey. A DIY solution could be rigged up with some type of micro-switch with a stiff black feeler extending out from the front lip, and a buzzer or light on the dash.

derp Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/ltKq1Yw.jpg Just a personal taste in aesthetics thing, but did you contemplate running your supports for the front lip a little farther out from center? Seems like it would look better out there. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yes, but it won't have the same strength as this. I can stand on the middle of my splitter (200lbs) without it bending, so if I were to spread them out further, now that area becomes weaker and will flex. Now, I have contemplated adding two more supports further out like you're saying, but Idk how I'll like 4 support rods up front. Those two have welded mounts on the splitter itself, and welded mounts on the crash beam. I'd have to weld new mounts. Maybe later down the road. That would make 8 mounts in total, lol.
