Reeco Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Have you still for this car? I bought a z about 2 months ago now my first one doesn't look anything like this but has the Same decal on the rear brace Really? That crazy, it's quite a hard wrap to get hold of, I'm kinda gutted another Z has the same. Found out today I'm down to the canvas on my rear tyres, I'm really paranoid about this sort of thing and can't believe I didn't pick up on it, but running -4 degrees camber on a daily driver has obviously taken its toll, scarily they still look like they have loads of life on the outer edge! Ill take pictures when they're off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Bad news on the tyres dude, if you noticed it earlier you could've just swapped them over and driven on the other edge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeco Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Again no major updates but the creaking noise has been fixed. The mechanic at work thought it was the pad retaining spring, but after changing that it wasn't, Turns out a stud in my front spacer was working itself loose. So now my car is back in proper "no stance" mode again. I'm not bothering with sorting it out until the weather starts to brighten up again. Going to source a facelift bumper from work next week I think, while I have a bit of cash free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeco Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Haven't updated this in forever and haven't done too much to the Z of recent! Burned through another set of tyres ( think they covered about 3k miles) ...wasn't even sliding on them, I think the toes out a ridiculous amount since I raised it! I've had the clutch changed for an exceedy one but my slave cylinder is lazy, so my bit point is still about 3mm off the floor :/ On some more positive notes, I attempted to mirror polish the rotiforms with some success but the up keep was crazy so they're currently getting recut, hopefully to be back on my car in time for japfest next week which is also when I plan to drop it again! Hoping to roll my arches more and go lower! Other than that my tax rebate is due soon so I'm hoping that'll free up so money to finally get my bumper and change my exhaust. I'll post up pics of the rotiforms when I have them back, for now here's a pic of my car on my dad's stock wheels with no stance...

mattross1313 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Which stand are you with for Japfest dude? Would love to see this in the metal with the Roti's back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeco Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Sorry I didn't get back to you dude, I'm not on here too often anymore. Car ended up with no stance for Japfest again, which was gutting. The wheel company didn't get them done in time, then phoned me the following Monday to say there was air pockets in the lacquer! So I only actually got them back yesterday! They look awesome though, they've been cut way finer with a ton of lacquer so look really strange from certain angles! Will get some pics up as soon as they're on the car next week all going well! I'm at players classic on the airlift showcase (ironic with being static n'all) if anybody else is around.

Reeco Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 After a total of 15ish hours messing around with coilovers and struggling with getting it up and down off and on planks and jacks, and a bit of road testing I have stance again! Just needs front spacers again now! Lower than last year but I'm still being restricted by my arches and POS Japspeed exhaust!

Reeco Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE im begging you get a import 13x7 or 12x6 front plate and ditch that 4x4 plate Haha don't worry the plates going completely soon dude, was at players classic yesterday and picked up a Nismo V1 lip, test fitted it without the plate,seeing as my plate was literally hanging on by a thread of tape by time I got home for some reason (maybe even fates telling me to lose it?) and it looks a million times better so pics of that coming up soon! Front spacers are fixed now so they'll be put on this week if I get time but for now here's my car at Players classic, I love this show, it's easily my favourite show of the year for the last two years and Goodwood circuit is an amazing place, and there's just an awesome vibe throughout the whole day!

Reeco Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I don't think you should fit any lips or skirts, it looks awesome as it is Thanks I was unsure about getting one at first but it was mega cheap, so test fitted it and I really like it, just needs the plate deleted to compliment it! I won't be getting any skirts though. I think I like them rims as much as mine. Cheers dude! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeco Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Parcel from J land turned up a week or two ago but only just fitted what was inside, just in time for the corolla brotherhood gathering last Saturday at Soul RC! It was an awesome day, loved the drive there and back convoying with two 86's ! Here's a few pics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomb Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Car looks top notch man. Wheel nuts look sweet too .. Same sort of height I'm looking at running mine. What have you got in the way of camber correction front and rear? Tom. Edited August 5, 2014 by Tomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
