Seriously consider keeping it the way it is man. I regret taking mine back to stock. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful commuter, but man do I miss being bagged. Yours is one of the nicest on here in my opinion. Will be sad to another one go.

I'm glad you are considering keeping it...honestly. we need more like this around.

Thanks so much for the positive words guys, I was losing motivation for her at first, but no sir, definitely not anymore. I'm happy to say that this build will continue, and it is far from over!

Thanks a lot man I appreciate it. Yes this car will never be done, but really what car ever is? That's the fun of a project car. Can't wait to get more parts for her.

haha fair enough.

hey I know these cars have the back wheels that are offset slightly from side to side. Do you know what the difference is from side to side? like if i wanted to get the poke equal on both side?

yarisugi · 01-22-2016, 12:30 PM

@tadakun - here you go (link). Around 3-4mm

@TerenceCruz - Glad you're keeping it after putting all that effort. Watch those speedbumps and potholes. :)

That's right, due to the crooked torsion beam in the rear, I was told 3mm-5mm spacer on the rear drivers side should do the trick. In my experience the 5mm poked out slightly more than I needed it to, so I purchased a 3mm spacer and that should be arriving within a couple of days. I think it'll be more even so we'll see. As soon as I install the spacer I will post a pic!

Ah ok ok keep me updated. My buddy hooked me up with a guy in SoCal I think that supplied his custom spacers for he AVante Gardes. I'll def get some custom hub centric spacers shortly.

tadakun · 01-25-2016, 04:18 PM

Just out of curiousity. What damper settings do you run on your set up?

Will do! Ahh yes hub spacers will definitely do your car some justice. Maybe 16s and lower profile tires too? ;)

I'm running 32, max stiffness all around. I still rub in the rear, but at the height in the front, no rubbing which amazes me lol

TerenceCruz · 01-27-2016, 10:44 PM

So, 3mm spacer on the rear driver side is on! Driveway and angle makes it look like the rear driver side pokes a little more but on a flat surface it's actually almost perfectly even IMO. I'm glad I chose the 3mm!

Here's a quick video a buddy of mine took and put together of our trip to Lafayette Reservoir where the 3rd annual Initial D meet took place. Such a great experience, with a lot of really nice cars! Over 1000 people and over 450 cars came so a lot of them were not allowed to enter the parking lot since it filled up. You'll see my car at 27 seconds, 1:06, and my lovely lady and I at 3:04.

More pictures of the meet, and a photo shoot of some of us that were near enough to gather around the Initial D replica FD, FC, and AE86.

Also someone sent me a video of me leaving the meet. Wish it was better quality but it's all good!!

Enjoy guys! :D

tadakun · 01-28-2016, 03:03 AM

I plan on stayin 15s until I can afford a good set of wheels. I'm currently running the stock size tires until I wear them out. Then I'll change to a lower profile. You know....because more low. :D thanks for the heads up on the 3mm difference. I'll be getting 5mm and 8mm spacers after I slap on the camber plate.
