Oh hi.
I've been lurking here for a while for the wealth of motivation in the build threads and such. I has a '96 GT4. Being in NZ, it is a JDM facelifted one - no trispokes here, though unfortunately noone in the car's past ever thought to pick up projectors. It currently looks like this:  Anyway, hi, sup etc. Oh, I have a build thread here, and am much too lazy to cross-post everything! http://www.gpforums.co.nz/showthread.php?threadid=435792 This post has been edited by Anoroc: Jan 11, 2015 - 5:47 AM |

Someone in their infinite wisdom, decided that lopping a couple of coils off the springs would be a good idea. On stock suspension, you'd probably have enough room if you just turned the wheel out of the way, but I needed to lift that corner, remove the wheel, then change the filter/fiddle with the sump plug.
The angle helped the draining, at least! |
