After putting on my Stillen kit, I always thought it would happen in my own driveway, but I guess after adding air to my tires at Speedway, I didn't pull out at a big enough angle, even though it wasn't that much of an decline.

Damage isn't too bad, and you can't notice it unless you're on the ground, but still... I guess I can touch it up with some paint. I went 1 month, 1 week without managing to damage anything.




And now to the game...GO BUCKS!

 

wow... whoop dee doo man..It's going to happen if you're lowered and have the lip kit. It's bound to happen. No Way from preventing it.

 

I'd be more concerned with your mis-matched tires than unavoidable scrapes.

 

Hahaha yeah I knew it was going to happen.
I got a nail in a tire a while back. Just replaced the fronts and kept the rears.

nismopc, where you the guy at the quaker steak meet last time?
Are you coming to the meet next Saturday?

 

I feel your pain. My max is not even lowered and I had several miscues. There was one driveway where I thought I was good but me and my friend heard a loud scrape. Augh! As a result I decided to have some crown to ease my pain.

 

Crown FTW!

 

You should have seen my 89se. I had the stillen kit on with sprint springs in the front and I would scrape so much, sometimes there was no helping it at all

 

How many people see the bottom of your car...

I did worse to mine the first day I had it on, on the way out of the body shop as a matter of fact. I would get used to it, and you cannot see it while looking at the car standing up.

 

yeah, i did worse the second day i had mine. well, maybe worse. after a month i know i had done worse. get used to it, some things dont look nearly as steep as they are

 

Atleast you dont have a pearl white max

 

my stock bumper has 10x that many scratches... im on tein coilovers

 

wow...I thought this was going to be something interesting. Hell, I had scrapes like that on my car before it was even lowered, or had any lip at all....

 

thats nothing...a few scratches...nothing to worry about

 

is that all?

 

Yeah, it's not that bad.

 

Sharpie it..Also buy the neck-lace sharpie for the next time

 

That might work!

 

How did you like the Nitto 555s? I hated mine. Finally changed to Pzero Neros and saw what a much better tire feels like.

 

I actually had the Pzero Neros before the Nittos when I had my MM EVO5's. the Pirellis were outstanding IMO. Nittos came with my wheels...they're so so.

 

HAD MM Evo5's????

did u sell them cuz im still looking for some.....

 

Yes, 97Whtse has them now. But he has been trying to sell them.

Yes I was/am. I did not know about the upcoming meet, but I'll be in Indiana for a wedding. Maybe next time.

edit: Ah I just saw the thread. Hooter's off 270. I haven't been on OhioNissans a lot lately. Been toying with the car too much, playing with some different installs of Linux on my 2nd PC, and spending a lot of time with my kids (soccer, gymnastics). Ok I'll keep my eye peeled for the next meet.

 

Cool, sounds good.
