ratty shakotan Z (i love pics)


Recommended Posts

Ok. I started in similar fashion by lowering my car with cut down stock springs. You probably want to baby it across any type of seam in the road like a bridge abutment or train crossing. That metal to metal feeling really hurts. It was at that point that I started developing cracks in my A-pilar and B-pilar. I know those cracks are common, but before I cut my springs I was crack free.

Well i have bump stops in place so I don't get that metal on metal hitting

Good job with the coilovers. Haha, the whale tail should be interesting. Bet this winter is killing you. I bought my Z last winter and couldn't drive it for a few months. It was horrable.

What's worse is I'm away and can't work on my Z. I think I have all the info to get it running when I get a chance. And I'm excited for the whale tail, you don't see many and it will set me apart.
