Default Slammed-Am's PHOTOshoot...Fikse, 315's & SLMD!! (56k: DUW)



Finally got some recent pics of my car up. She's been through hell (about 4 collisions), the 8 year old paint is looking a little prettier after the Porter Cable/Menzerna attack a couple months ago. I'm still not sure about the stance, I've adjusted the position of the coilovers so damn many times now...

And yes there are about 3 body panels that have pretty significant problems. You find em'!


I like this shot.



This is downtown Nacogdoches BTW.


The paint looks great here. I can definitley see the difference the Porter Cable job made.




Pardon the FILTHY Borla.


Got Stance?




Like that negative camber?




Reppin' Nac-Town, baby.


Passenger door.



Re-cap

-all pics taken with Sony DSC-t10 (7.2mp)
-Stance: Ground Control coilovers set pretty darn low
-Wheels: Fikse FM/5's in: 17x9.5/11
-Tires: Front-Nitto 555 (275) Rear meat-Goodyear GSD3's (315 )
-Semi-recent Porter Cable detail job to 8 y/o paint

Heh, the ride quality is pretty darn good. It's about right where I want it. 500lb springs up front and 150's out back w/ Bilstein HD's. It's the height that kills me though. I feel like I'm driving some rediculously low Enzo sometimes. I have to enter almost every shitty driveway/parking lot entrance at an EXTREME angle to avoid scraping. If you live in a large city with nice roads it's ALOT easier. I like being back home in Houston because my car is alot easier to get around in.

So here's the question. You buy the Fiske's new or used? Hahaa, Man, that thing looks stellar. I don't think there is anything wrong with the stance. And holy ****, 500lb springs up front? Very nice car man.

Ladies and Gentlemen, that right there is the PERFECT STANCE!

I absolutely LOVE everything about your car. That is the perfect stance. Low as HECK! haha. The wheels are amazing, the car is a black T/A so DUH it's sick...

GREAT JOB MAN!

Tryin to picture where in Nac that is but I'm lost. You should get some pictures up at the lake one time. Hell maybe we can both do it, they'll turn out sweet

And that's another thing I hate about Nac.... the damn roads. I much prefer Houston

looks great. but polish the exhaust tips and do something about the bird on the rear fill panel. faded doesn't look good. maybe silver overlay.
