Homer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice work as always Ryan, a pleasure to read On the colour, all-black would look mean as hell on this car. I can see where you're coming from with the white, but it's a little girly for this monster ...or are you just being lazy with the need to clean, we all know how hard it is to keep a black car looking half decent!

Ryan.G Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Bit of a 10 min play with photoshop but im thinking of something like this and going with the 2bartuning colours of Black, white and grey Remember only took 10mins ...... http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/Fletchy/2bartrackcolour.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 White race/track cars are easy to design graphics packages for. Dont think I would want to be sat in a warm all black environment on a hot day, white on the inside is nice a light and easy on the eye as long as its a matt finish.

Ryan.G Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 before I start, what are you planning on doing with it Ryan? would choose to start with the other image, but as it's copyright it may be a waste of time if you are wanting to do anything commercial with it. Mike Hi Mike Its just to get some ideas chap of what colour scheme to go for. Wont be using it for anything commercial. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Nice work :thunmbs: The exhaust pics are now working, make sure you keep the exhaust tucked up as high as possible, this will allow you to drop the suspension and not have clearing issues. One of the reason my car sits a little higher is that the exhaust hangs too low, hopefully this will be resolved soon as even now it still grounds out on the dip at brands.

One of the reason my car sits a little higher is that the exhaust hangs too low, hopefully this will be resolved soon as even now it still grounds out on the dip at brands. I'm sure you know this Wez, but you don't want it too low else the geo goes out the window (don't forget it gets lowered even further over bumps/compressions). How low is yours Vs stock, do you know? Mine is about -1cm front and rear and I don't have any issues with clearance, it's actually 1cm higher than when I bought it and it had various handling problems due to being too low and the rest of the geo being right out.

TRD DAN Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I am not liking the black/grey at all afraid to say i agree , not liking the two tone colour scheme , each to there own and all that though. Still sure it will be a weapon whatever colour it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 don't forget the rose jointed track rod ends to reduce the bump steer as well. Are you sure? Having rose jointed rod ends won't make any difference to the bump steer what so ever. They're for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're for something else. apologies Tony (and well spotted) ... should have called these ... relocated tie rod ends that are adjustable to bring the control arms back into a closer arc to the suspension arms. I've seen them called 'Bump steer reduction kits'. (pic attached) Rose jointed tie rod ends on their own wont do this... I sit corrected Edited February 25, 2009 by SteveL (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 After a few test masking today i dont think the 2 tone is going to work. Espically when looking at the car head on. Think just White with black wheels will do. At least this way when i get a few bumps in testing its easy to fix with dulux Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
