Ok, Day #2, Put wheels on









NEXT MOD

A new Digi cam!!!!

Seriously don't hate, my Olympus was bought prolly a good 5-6 years ago when digi's first came out, for twice the $$$ for a sony that's about 6 times better now...

Any yes, i know i need to drop it. BUT i'm afriad if i put the tanabe df210's on it will be too low with 15". Speedbumps at school will pretty much take out about 1" of the underbody at least

...here is a dirty cellphone pic of my Camo.

rebelMan

nice, reppin Camo to the fullest...with the smallest wheels :D

Are any of ur 2 guys dropped?

Want to get an idea of how low my 15" would be with tanabe df210 <(__)>

proto_k7

The Dirty cellphone pic is with DF210's, I have JIC FLT-A2's but took them off. Little too stiff for a daily driver....

rebelMan

oh sweet, i got to put mine on! How do u do on speedbumps?

Um . . . well . . . maybe. It really depends on where you live and what you drive in. My first NEW car was a VW Rabbit -- a WHITE Rabbit and it was a B1TCH to keep clean . . . in the winter. Y'see, here in MinneSNOWta all the snow gets kindofa gray/tan color and gets all over the sides of a WHITE car and gets plain UGLY.

The easiest vehicle I've ever had to keep clean summer and winter is a medium green Plymouth Voyager. In fact, it's the Voyager that I'm replacing when my '06 xB finally arrives!

Same as any other speed bump, Sloooowwww, but never scrapes. The ride quality is a lot better than stock IMO, you will be happy with the results.

With the body kit I scrape the front clip on driveways and thats about it......

Good looking camo you got I would hate to say it, but any color box you get, it will get dirty. The camo seems to show it a good deal to Also if you live in a area with a crap load of bugs, your box is going to get jacked up (mine did today)

proto_k7

Does anyone on hot days accumulate bugs like Gnats, baby Grasshoppers, and Mosqutos? (SERIOUSLY) They like to hangout on my Camo.

rebelMan

my box is already getting dirty after 2 days and like 30 miles o.0

i'll enjoy washing it with my new Meguiar's sponge, and of course drying with the Sonus microfiber towel :D

hey proto can u get any better pics? I want to see how much lower it is. Did u cut your front bump stops? Do u run the stock shocks and struts too? thx

Jamo

Make sure you use MULTIPLE microfiber towels and keep them rinsed-out while washing. If you just use one, it's easier to pick up miniscule dirt particles which you will then DRAG across the paint of your xB. The paint on the xBs is not stellar by any account. Do what you can to prolong it and prevent scratches and swirls.

This has been a public service announcement. We now return you to your regularly-scheduled posts.

rebelMan

multiple >_<; , those towels add up $$$$

I still haven't even bought some soap to wash with lol

Gonna wash it this weekend after i get the spoiler put on on saturday! can't wait

Congrats!! Oh another Box in Florida. Your camera is like mine, one of the first Olympus 1.3 Megapix. Takes good ebay pics but sux for everything else. I need a digital Rebel (Canon) eventually.

If you have a BigLots near you check them out. I got some microfiber towels pretty cheap there.

rebelMan

i'm concerned with cheaper towels though. I don't mind spending 14$ for a towel that at least i know i can feel safe using... how many should i get then for drying?

Also, do u guys wash your towels regularly to keep them clean? What do u do?

thx

And yea, i'd love to have the Rebel cam, the 1.3 aint doin it anymore lol

rebelMan

lol, i'm hoping you punched the seat >_<

Yea, i caused the first *pain* to it as well... not used to having skirts especially painted ones... work shoes kinda made a nice scratch when i got in to go to work the first time

Since then i sort of stretch about 5"~ away from any painted parts with my feet when getting in lol

I like the Camo more and more everday, especially when leaving from work and walking out into the lot with all the lights on at night (around 10:30~PM). With the lights reflecting and the bronze it looks sweet. I didn't think my wheels would look nearly as good on it. I can't wait to lower it though, it's going to take me 6 hours to put the springs on just cause i don't want to accidently scratch anything.
