That's tidy mate!! Love that purple! Purple on white you can't go wrong! Love the rims too they make the car look super clean

 

[Alex De Large]

The car looks great. Clean example!

Digging the purple :thumbs:

 

[dave_t]

Looks awesome mate. is that a modified oem spoiler or aftermarket?

 

[dino619]

Thanks guys! ya, the purple theme had been fun to work with, can't wait till more stuff comes in the mail!
the spoiler is just the OEM spec R kit. (as far as I know)

 

[Fruitbooter]

That is very smart!

Top photo makes it look like your running quite a bit of toe in at the rear...might be just me though lol

 

[dino619]

Ya. the photo makes it look alittle funny. The toe was fine but the camber and spacing was off. It was just a temporary setup. The stance looks better now. Raised alittle in the rear, and adjusted the rucas and rim spacing. 0 toe. 2.5 neg Camber. flush wheels to body with about 3 mm spacing between the rolled fenders. looks great!

I have video's of me in my previous cars (s13 silvias and C33 laurel) but unfortunatly I havent been able to take the S15 to the track just yet. The car was pretty much stock when I first got it so I have been putting in all avail funds and free time to get it track ready.
We just moved into a new place and I go to work and school full time so it has been difficult to even get it where its at now. But its getting very close! I'm hoping for late July or Aug (even though its super hot during those months).
