Take a look at my red car... Thats what happens when you start getting cocky and thinking your the shit. it was a decent length dorri though I guess. I've done longer though. Plus they were really not that great but they were ok I guess.

Not to put down doug's practice, but the night time video hides a lot of what the car is actually doing. The driver is the only one who can really see/feel what is going on and a lot of the time it's not as good as it seems in dark video. But there was some decent sliding in the vid, it could have done with out the gay ass singing with the music shit tho lol.

Yes specially on those dorri's I was hitting rev limit. The car understeers and does not slide well at all. It just looks better in video specially dark video lol. I normally wouldn't of chose that type of music for a vid, or to put some karoke in it. Not my editing though. She did a good job with syncing the sounds and everything and cutting the video.

Got all my Kouki stuff mounted up this morning. Oddly enough I woke up at 10am. So I went straight to work Heres pics and explanations smile.gif

I forgot to take pics here but I drilled out the holes for the Kouki Wing and Got it all fitted. I need to fiberglass the crack on it then I will paint it but for now its just red since the car doesn't move. Heres a clear picture first of the wing and skirts though.


Wing




I drilled out the plastic things on the bottom of the fender to mount up the front of the skirt


I used then a bolt out of my bucket of bolts to screw it in I used the same kind of bolt for both sides haha


Then I grabbed 4 of these to mount up the back and middle of the skirt (only 2 pictured cause other 2 were on the other side.)


I lifted the skirt and scratched out where I needed to drill. It may be hard to see


Drilled it out with 3/16 I beleive.


Then Skirt lifted back up lined up nicely smile.gif


Bolted Down


Then drilled out next whole to hold up the middle section better.


That bolted down


Finished Product Gangster







And I got new plugs haha

I am not a fan of the Kouki skirts, the rear wing looks ok but you need some other stuff to make it really work with the body lines. I do like the Zenki navan sided skirts tho I think those would look better, but if your happy with it then that's really all that matters. Also for god's sake paint that wing black lol.

Im not a huge fan of the kouki skirts either. I got them from a trade. I prefer the Zenki Navan side skirts too. I am happy with it right now though. Im trying to keep it mild since I get pulled over enough if the car. Specially since In brandons car chp stared me down hella bad not sure if it was the kit or the front mount but just trying to keep it low key for now. Oh and yes don't worry I just need to find someone 18 to buy me some rattle can first then I can paint it hahaha. Fuck only a few months left of this minor bs lol
