I picked up some flares. I really liked how the corolla was looking with the 10j's up front. But after actually going out and seeing how it drives. It is just not possible.
I am not a huge fan of flares but these were 100 bucks and if I wanted to go overs I would have to cut the guards anyways.
Basically I mocked them up, thought they looked decent. Fully installed them and absolutely hate it. I pretty much think it looks retarded. If I put them on the front my 14x9s are so sunk it just looks horrible. Soooo I either get custom lca's and spacers or another pair of wheels and lca's. But for a bit at least I am going to be hating the looks of this thing..
Pictures. I also put on some side skirts.
More cutting.
I think the term I am looking for is I had it all...
I recently visited autohero. Ray is the only person I have come across that will mount my tires, so in a way he saves me every 2 months.
Someone messaged me and wanted to know how we mounted the 185/60 on the 10j's so I took this little video.
Then I snapped some pictures around the shop this shop has gotten pretty popular on the net so I thought this was kinda cool, even though 30 other people have done it. I made them black and white for no reason really. Just thought they looked cooler. All of these were taken with my 18-55 kit lens so they are pretty rugged.
When you arrive, it is just a Garage door with a small sticker on it. But their is always a collection of something cool outside.
Stepping inside you are bound to find Ray under something. This week was especially busy because of Formula D being in town.
Stepping inside you see this supra that has been in his garage forever. It has the best 2001 Nopi/Hot Import Nights feel to it. At least to me it does. I wouldn't build it that way but it looks the part. Respek. Also this young buck Danny is having a ton of motor work done to his s14. I usually run into him when I stop in, cool dude for sure. We will trade stickers and make some sort of treaty one day.
This SR'd corolla has been in his shop for years as well. I want the overs that are on it, yes I do.
Ray somewhat recently moved into this spot. It has more room than his last place which was one garage bay over...
This is the added area.
This is a shot of the front brakes on the supra. They look like baby crushers... Something that some might think is cool is the car I am looking threw is a pretty poplar car.
It is actually this guys car.
Which turned to this.
So now it is painted with different overs and some new styles.
It has been known in very rare cases America builds a car that actually is on the level of a Japanese style car. Usually we come close but we will just lack on fine touches.
My friend Raymond decided to put him name on that list. Fresh out of paint. He is sporting a nice s14 SR mildly built and all the right goodies. I am sure the internet will blow up once he actually post's pictures.
That's him creepin like a caterpillar in the back.
Lack of updates is poo poo. I have not been able to make it to any events or work on any of the cars. But that gets to change for the next little while. I will have a couple updates soon.
