Just my drift/Hellaflush project truck, Working on it in between work/school/and the Military, it's my Beast and it's gonna be lowered so no hating!

Cool idea with the drift truck, I plan on doing the same. The JDM sticker is a little out of place though haha

Couldn't find a USDM sticker mate! And it was a christmas gift from my parents who mean well man, plus I figure domestics and imports should just get along xD

^fair enough lol, what do you have planned for suspension? or just for the truck in general?

SacredCeltic · #5 02-13-2013, 08:01 PM

Going for either a 4/6 or 6/8 drop, see if I can afford to swap my leaf springs for a custom coil-over setup, going to replace my brakes, running a lever E-brake up next to the Manual Trans, and EVENTUALLY redoing the internals of my 2.5L and turboing it, not a fan of the 2.3T swap AT ALL

SacredCeltic · #7 02-13-2013, 08:03 PM

I gotta redo the stickerbomb man

ohio weather ruined it even after 7 cans of clear and 2 cnas of weatherproofing, and I'm working on it!

Lol yeah that's a big area for the size of stickers you have sounds like your on the right track though for the front if you buy belltech springs there 3" and then the djm arms is 2" so you'll be 5" and 1 coil = 2" the rear if you get it notched and brace it between the notches it'll give you a good mounting spot for coil overs

Sounds like a good plan, Im planning a 5/5 drop ( maybe more if I notch rear) along with Roush sway bars and 8.8 rear end. Id like coil overs but that's doubtful anytime soon atleast. The E brake is where Ive been kind of puzzled, I want to center mount a hand brake like you said but I havnt really planned it out yet. Maybe using a mustang hand brake and finding a way to make the mechanics behind that work

Oh and (besides the tailgate) I'm doing a lime green/Satin black two tone, black up to the line that runs from taillights to headlights, and then green up from there, and swapping in neon green and black racing buckets, a NRG green and black quick detach steering wheel and some tanaka 5 points
