Best $25 I ever spent, completing my set of 16x8 -10 starion wheels!

Gonna be awesome once my proper suspension parts come…

Needs spacers + more low…

More soon…waiting on coilovers.

I like the starion wheels, those would be a good candidate for powdercoat.

[Kamilitaryman]

I agree. Those wheels are gonna look bitchin’ after some TLC.

[Z31NA2T]

Reverse rake…gotta get the fronts welded to the spindles.

Need spacers now:

Still gotta get the front done.

[Z31NA2T]

Front coilovers finally ready to go in!

Working on Zee Car:

The Starion wheels really should have come on these Z cars from the factory…

[Z31NA2T]

I lowered the front about .5" more…I want to go lower but I’m a bit nervous about it until I get the fenders rolled. haha

[focusinprogress]

front fitment looks good, seems just the rear need maybe 5-8mm spacers to get similar fitment to the front…

[Z31NA2T]

@focusinprogress

front fitment looks good, seems just the rear need maybe 5-8mm spacers to get similar fitment to the front…

Yeah, if not for camber the rear would be flush…but…haha

I need to find a fender roller, roll the front and rear fenders, then throw spacers on the back.

[Z31NA2T]

I decided to put the old straight pipe back on…but I forgot Certified Muffler failed entirely when they bent this one for me…so it hangs way too low. Need to get the car on the lift and make it sit up right.

Want to do other shit with the exhaust anyways…soooo.

[1QIKZ]

Yikes, and I thought my exhaust hung low!

[Z31NA2T]

[Motocrossx23]

Thank god you changed the wheels

[Z31NA2T]

Don’t tell them I went here…shhhh

Got my exhaust pipe in today…

Something like this is the goal…

And the roll bar…

[Z31NA2T]

Cleaned up the engine some…

Also started cleaning the wheels more:

1" Sway bars!

New exhaust good-ness

[Z31NA2T]

Stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff…

New steering knuckles 8) We machined these from billet steel. Shorter, and a change to the ackerman angle.

Doesnt look that great, but its way more angle than stock…

[1QIKZ]

Not sure about the new wheels yet. Gonna have to wait and see. Keep it going.

[Z31NA2T]

@1QIKZ

Not sure about the new wheels yet. Gonna have to wait and see. Keep it going.

The Ronal R9s are more-so just spares/extras…they’re only 7" wide so they’re meh to me, but 80s as fuck…a bit too euro though. I’m hoping to sell them and just get another set of starquest 16x8s or 16x9s

Interior back in…because DD-status and I enjoy creature comforts and the storage compartments!

Just need to vacuum the carpet…

I also finally removed the 2-way radio antenna

Woah wheelgap? lolol
