    lol it's missing pretty much... everything.

    The mods I see are.... wheels, tint, CF hood, and front lip. Everything else looks stock.

    No, I'm asking if you can take other pics of the cars in Forza, other than just the outside. Like open the doors, go inside, under the hood, whatever.

    You can, but not with every single car, I know you can do it with some of the Ferrari.

    Yeah, I do remember seeing a Ferrari now that you mention it. I guess you can't actually put the $600 (plus s&h) intake on there :(

    Nearly finished the suspension work, but I got a few pics for now.

    This was the front yesterday. It's lower now. Still need a pic of the back (I forgot).
    CIMG0194.JPG


    So today, I slammed the car as low as it would go just for giggles. Unfortunately, the jack wouldn't come out, so I had to use 2x4s. But you get the idea. Also, because the springs are incredibly stiff (14k/12k spring rates), there is almost no sag to them. Using regular spring rates (10k/6k) would have more sag and would be lower. Even so, this has about 1" ground clearance, if that lol. Lots of fender mods so that there is no rubbing, even like this.


    CIMG0196.JPG CIMG0201.JPG CIMG0205.JPG CIMG0209.JPG CIMG0211.JPG CIMG0218.JPG




    Then after many more hours of adjusting, I got it set at the following height. The back is slightly lower than before, and the front is definitely lower than before. The fender to ground distance is now the same all around (it was higher in the front before). I like it at this height, but the front tires rub when turned :/

    There you go.

    Thanks guys. I hurt all over from all this work lol.

    I'm so happy I went with all these suspension upgrades. The car sticks to the road like glue, and it has a proper stance finally (not saggy looking in the back).

    I LOL when I see this at the top of the page while it loads:

    GOOD GOD, the slammed pics look sick, though youd probably lose your side skirts in the first 5 minutes.

    lol, had to say it twice, it's that good. But yeah, I'd loose the side skirts if I went into the garage haha. And it would probably be lower if I drove it around for the alignment to settle.

    LOLLL, it's so dirty. But I said I'd have pics, so I got pics. Wash tomorrow.

    Dude, of all the random things you've done for us at TRDforums, you'd think getting pics of your car wouldn't be so hard.
