My '05 V - Summer mode engaged



Re: My '05 V - 5lug, lows loading.

that's also just one random picture i took. it looks better/worse from different angles, hah.
 
Re: My '05 V - 5lug, lows loading.

because i do what i want. i'll have legit pictures of it sometime within a week. i'm going to a big car show this weekend so hopefully i can get a few good photos out of that, too.
 


Re: My '05 V - 5lug, racecar stance

yesterday the alignment went great and the car is corner balanced within something like 45 pounds when it was off over 300 when i drove into the shop. alignment specs for anyone that knows what they mean or cares:

so yes, i am running a bit of camber all around the car (-2.5+). it shouldn't wear the tires too unevenly because of the rest of the alignment being in check. it handles like it's on freakin rails now.

and due to the corner balancing and the rubbing up front the front end came up probably 10mm so i ended up with a bit more 'racecar stance' than i was initially hoping for, but **** it still looks great.

i stared into the reflection in a few cars on the way into work. it looks killer rolling.

hey man, one step at a time, hah.

they aren't in the budget for this year unless i ruin my credit even more which is a super poor decision.
 


Re: My '05 V - 5lug, racecar stance

the picture is a bit misleading because it's the "good" angle to take pictures of this car from and the tires are down in ruts in the parking lot. here's a shot from the front that shows it's not completely dumped.

tires are all still barely tucked which means the front is technically lower than the rear because of the shapes of the fenders, but the rockers are completely level with the ground front to back. i like how it sits.

it also sits lower with me in it since it was balanced correctly with me in it.
