My JZX100 Chaser, From Cruiser to Drifter

Cheers lads. Hopefully all the bits help, and now that the front tyres aren't fouling the shocks the handling should be a lot better. Those pesky weak offset red wheels are only fit for the back.

Charming!!! Back in the kitchen, wench!

Earlier tonight, I brought the car for it's first hard drive since I got the wheels, seat, exhaust fitted, and removed the rear seats, which highlighted a couple of issues that will have to be sorted before Port Laoise in two weeks.

The passenger side rear wheel is scrubbing on the inside of the arch during hard cornering and the exhaust is hitting the ground when the car is squatting under full throttle. You can hear the exhaust hopping off the ground when I do a manji near the end of this video..

So, my options are either raise the car or get stiffer shocks. Fuck raising it! :)

Sounds Nice Man

Do you have any space to tuck the exhaust a little closer to the chassis?
A few mil might make all the difference.

If you have coilovers maybe your spring preload is too low. Sounds sweet!

There's not really any space, but Gem is having a look at it Wednesday and seeing what he can do.

The coilovers are as low as they can go which won't be helping, plus they are pretty soft and only fit for hard parking. And...... the collars have seized on them so I can't raise it back up. Carpo has a set of Cusco's there, but I'm broke as fuck this week, and next week, and the week after, so I can't buy them.

Quick update before I hit the sack...

Gem sorted out the coilovers and raised the car which sorted out the exhaust hitting the ground, he also put the cat in for the NCT which the car promptly failed. :D It only failed on a couple of minor things though which should be sorted soon.

What else... Got a bumper, sprayed and fitted it in my front yard, it turned out ok and will do until after Port Laoise.

Picked up a sliding rail off Copeyhagen, as well as Ganador mirrors and seventy billion wheel nuts. Cheers Rob. :)

Then this evening the KTS arb and locking collars arrived, but they may stay in the box because I don't have any time to get them fitted before Port Laoise. Thanks to Tom from Titan for sorting me out with those quickly and cheaply. :)

Anyhow, pictures...
