Me and a few friends went Canyon Driving over the weekend and I took some pics along the way. It was a very nice drive. Although I found out that my back tires were rubbing on some sections of the road. A few cm of sidewall was rubbed off, would that mess with the tires structural integrity? It really sucked as I backed off a bit when I found my back tires were rubbing. I also recorded the drive so when I get it upload to my computer, I will put it up, but here are the
pics

one car just doesn't belong

 

I think you need all new tires

 

I like your grill and bumper config.

 

Is that sunroof aftermarket? I miss having one on my Maxima! I like your Maxima and it looks like a really nice place there.

 

Thats his stock sunroof

 

are you boosted?

cause it looks to me as if you would be playing catch up the hole time...

nice pics tho.

 

no boost no juice. I just think that it was rubbing his fender since he has like 25mm offset and its pretty low back there.

 

Ha, Nismo answered everybody for me but nah, I wasn't playing catch up to everybody. My buddy with the STI was killing all of us but I kept up with everyone else until I found out my back tires were rubbing and I just took it easy after that. I will post up the vid soon but it is freakin huge, about 300 megs, dunno if u guys would want to d/l that as it would be boring if u weren't there.

 

thanks for your kind words.

 

arent you on D2's?? i dunno why u are rubbin because i am as low as u are and i never have rubbin issues. specially in the back

 

Actually, still on the GC/AGX combo, my D2 is sitting in the garage wating to be installed with my other mods that need to go on before I move. Although you are as low as me, offset of the wheel also play a part in rubbing and I have 10mm spacers all aound so my offset is 30 resulting in me rubbing. I raised up the back, one finger height and the rubbing seemed to be gone.

 

There's no way to get that file down? I'm not as experienced as others when it comes to vid posting, but maybe someone can walk you thru getting that file down to a managable size.

 

Correction, you are on 15mm spacers bringing you down to 25mm offset.

 

nice pics...too bad those "other" cars are there

 

I will post up a section of the vid to bring down the size of it.

 

How did the BBK feel out there? Im going to try to put them on sat. Give me a call if you can come help me out or something. I mainly need help bleeding them.

 

More pics of the bbk please.

 

BBK felt good, I feel alot more confident in braking now. However for some reason, I think my old tires felt better then the Toyo's I have now, Dunno, maybe it could had been my ride height or the STI made me feel slow, ha, oh well. Jeff, I will try to take some pics after I wash my ride, it is pretty dirty right now.

 

How'd you do against the SRT-4?
man you got some good competition.

 

those are some serious cars to go canyon carving with...

 

Funny thing is that there was a beat up Ford Ranger that was staying with the STI. The WRX guy said he could not kept up with the Ranger and I didn't try because I was behind the WRX.

 

dam bro your car is hot, making think i shouldnt have converted my bumper

btw i love those rims? te37s? i hope they didnt splash too hard on you

 

That is hilarious...but how did you do against the SRT-4?

 

The SRT-4 was behind me the whole time. He was a bit tired from work probably so he wasn't trying as hard he couuld.

 

This thread is worthless without vid

 

For real I want to see the beat up Ranger hang with the STI! I'm surprised he didn't flip his damn truck.

 

I didn't get the ranger in the video and my radar detector and pda was kinda in the way but you get the gist of it. Here is a shorter clip of the video. Video

 

Looks like fun! Wish I could have gone but too busy plus I got that left turn axle problem going on. Maybe next time.

 

Sweet vid!
Looks like you guys have a good system with the walkie talkies. Did you bottom out a couple times? ouch.
