Wow, smash, you car is awesome. I love the white/gold color combo!! too bad my car is yellow. I have some Gold CE28N on order right now. I don;t think gold will look as good on yellow compare to white though.

PS: I think my car is lower than yours.

My front mug flap is touching the ground.

Thanks...I'd rock anodised blue on Yellow, myself...or green.

25psi_Elise_Killer · 11-22-2007, 06:59 AM

someone say blue??

smashfactory · 11-22-2007, 02:41 PM

That looks powdercoated though, they don't look anodised to me. Do u have more pics?

25psi_Elise_Killer · 11-22-2007, 04:52 PM

They are powdercoated. More pics at the link below.

whats this steering rack mod? Is it necessary when lowering the lotus that low?

smashfactory · 12-05-2007, 08:51 PM

Riser plates. Helps reduce bump steer.

Bavarian Motorist · 12-05-2007, 09:16 PM

Your concise, objective responses impress me as much as the car.

Thank you.

ummagawd · 12-06-2007, 11:32 AM

gotcha... i wasn't aware of this problem...

do you think i'll need those risers for a car this low?

If so... how many 8mm plates would i need? If I were to down another inch (only cuz i see how hot your car looks and I'm all about slammed rides)... how much would i need to raise the steering rack then?

thanks for your concise and direct input

smashfactory · 12-06-2007, 01:52 PM

What is your ride height? When you are at "full lock" or ur wheel if fully turned do u feel the front end push? If so, I would add the risers.

There are 3 ways of countering bumpster. Risers, bump steer kit, modified uprights.

All available BTW.

fast+forward · 12-07-2007, 07:09 PM

nice mirrors...now if someone made mirror baseplates; kawasaki mirrors can be fitted

smashfactory · 12-07-2007, 07:39 PM

LOL people replace those with mine. Those are ugly IMO. If you like those just get the Sector ones.

Brent Bauman · 12-31-2007, 07:16 PM

Smash,
Where are the pics of your 8.5 and 9.5 wheels, how do they fit?

smashfactory · 12-31-2007, 07:37 PM

They fit great. I will try to wash the car tomorrow and shoot some pics.

Brent Bauman · 12-31-2007, 09:45 PM

What size tires? A050s?
