Oh I get it.

I think Reverse Rake is getting somewhat popular right? It looks 100% horrible, especially while drifting. lol

cars will also reverse rake because the front of the car lifts up from caster and the rear compresses under load/traction

i've adjusted thing now and i believe my car is now "level" whatever that means.

edit: sike.

I agree. Whatever steps need to be taken to avoid this should be done.

[!Zar!]

I need aero so bad. Wanted to get greddy roll center adjuster but they sold out. Now imma have to get moog. Anyone else using this set up on their car? After I fix this will align the car, more fender roll and more low.

Also need to check out where my exhaust leak is coming from. Cant wait to drive my car more.

I like when guys drive around with reverse rake because they are on air bags.

how are da partially blind supposed to know i have a drift car, when i roll through? stickers should be enjoyed by everyone, even those with disabilities

[mad-ass]

yeah, almost done taking stuff off the S13..just small little stuff needs to be taken out..and then bye bye it goes.

5 Lug swap is done, I am going to install coilovers and RUCA's tomorrow and roll the fenders on the black S14, gona go for minimal camber while being low..so we'll see how that goes.

I'm not sure what I am going to do with the exterior yet..I am gona put my D-Max Trunk spoiler on this car since I don't want to put it on my purple car..

[Mister.E]

anyone found a solution for lessening the gap between the headlights and the front of the hood on the D-Max hood? i just picked mine up tonight and, of course, there is a big ass gap there.

the obvious solution would be to not buy a D-Max hood, but that is out of the question.

[icedsole]

^ heat it up, put bricks or some form of weight/ something to shape how you wish.

let it cool down. tada.... hopefully

[mad-ass]

Brick isn't heavy enough, put a wheel/tire on it

do you have the clear headlight covers or stock plastic/glass??

i know the clear covers are narower than stock so if there even was a gap it would be even more obveous..

Try taking out the rubber stoppers for the original hood that are on the core support, then if you have hood pins you can adjust them were it closes at just the right spot and and the hood pins hold it there, thats what i did with my kouki dmax hood when i first put it on and had a small gap as well. If you don't have hood pins i dunno thats all i got haha good luck.

ok, thats what i was thinking about doing. it seems as if the area where the hood latch locks, the hood is just way too high. i was thinking about removing the latch, installing hood pins and smashing that fucker down.

oh, and i have the stock headlights still, no clear covers.

So does Big Stickers = Drifting Car?

Modding cars is so confusing, geez.

[Zach-sr]

I think they might just like stickers.

[venom_5]

[DKZenkiS14]

I still cant find any pics of my old zenki but i did find this vid. Forgot i had it on photobucket. Never got a chance to put on my kit, hood and add real power. But it was sold soon after this the kid put it all on and crashed it.

[mad-ass]
