Anyone know options to raise shoulder belt point to fix the angle? Seat as low and forward as it can go, but the harness bar is just too low. Bought the car already caged - 93 Integra
>>28714725
>>28714725Do you have any photos? Hard to help without knowing the setup
>>28715715No good ones. I roughed out math, I think I just need someone to weld a harness bar 3" higher. Moving the seat just compromises everything
>>28715761That bar looks too low.Previous owner probably didn't know about belt angles.Or was using a tiny seat like a Sparco Sprint or something.
>>28715761can you get a horizontal bar welded on there for the belt to strap onto?
If Kia sold a Sportage N with the v6 from the Carnival and the limited slip diff from the Elantra N they would sell every one they make. Are you reading this, Kia?
>>28708520"N" is a Hyundai thing, Kia uses GT-Line and GT branding for sporty models.
>>28711977I don't think most people would know or care.
>>28713411>It's not that bad, the engine just sucks and it feels bad to drive but there's lots of good things besides that like uhhhhhh....
>>28714657I think it's weird more manufacturers aren't trying to offer non-luxury performance SUVs>>28715718there is ZERO reason to offer them as different brands - esp. if they don't actually offer distinct models at all>>28715740I like the ventilated seats.
>>28715740the brakes are greatI like all the features like power seats and the ADAS is great - it drives handsfree on the highway as long as the road is wide enough, marked with lines on both sides, and not super curvy - you don't get that with most other manufacturers it's practical and holds all my stuffI do wish the seats were a tad comfier and had thigh bolsters and it is kinda narrow

>>28715804Oh ya.I forgot that on another build I actually did need the front higher so I just stacked some 4" diameter washers under the spring. Replaced the stock stud with some all-thread to get enough meat for the retaining nut.Most builds wont have the luxury of doing something that simple though due to design.Not my pic but you can see how simple it is on this design to shim the spring but still have it secured.
>>28715793Something of a meme in that there will be one height where the instant and roll centers are correct so once you've determined what that height should be there's no further use for adjustability. Unless you think you'll be changing things around a bunch of course.
>>28715797>>28715798>>28715804I'm pretty anal about stance just in that I want the car sitting perfectly level under normal circumstances, but considering what you anons have said I see what you mean about the adjustable perches being unnecessary. Once I get it right, it'll be left alone. A simpler arm has less to go wrong, is cheaper, and is probably a better choice.After spending a few hours looking at tires yesterday, I couldn't find a whitewall in a brand and size I felt good about so I think I'm going to throw a set of Kenda 205/70-14 on it. A bit wider, a bit taller, I think it'll be an all around improvement while minizing speedo error and giving the car a very slightly more aggressive look.
>>28715845Also ordered a set of the LX style hubcaps off fleabay because I like them.
>>28715793for the rear? very interesting. only ever seen this on front torsion bar setups
How the fuck do I fit my new wheels that have a bigger CB than my car? Yea yea I know, get some hub centric rings. But I can't find any for 71.5mm-->70.5mm. Anyone know another way to go about this?
>>28709506Just be patient, let rust fill the gap
>>28712110>>28712088>>28710235I’ll be doing just that. Got some tapered lug nuts to center them for now, will get custom rings soon>>28710650Rude. Snow doesn’t wait for my plans.
>>287095063D print the rings. Center bore holds no load when you tighten the nuts, and plastic is more than strong enough to hold the wheel's weight while you scramble to find them.
>>28709592/thread
>>28713373This is true, the downside is that if your brakes get damn hot like on the track or mountain roads you will mess the 3D printed ring up and have to replace it, since most printed materials have lower glass transition temperatures and melting points. I had plastic hub adapter rings on one of my cars and they work great, but they're polycarbonate and haven't melted even at the one track day I took that car to before replacing it.

>>28714397thats not a hilux retard
>>28713769Anything from the right side.
>>28714397that's a LC
It's not a BRDM
The T34 just looks neat.
Mountain roads arn't a substitute for going to the track.You Fags are worse than the cone dodging crowd.Driving a back road at 75% pace is simply not the same as pushing 100% at a track at triple digit speeds.

>>28715420No one knows or cares who you are you fucking loser
>>28711302i was test driving my car and couldn't find the metric nuts for the motor mounts in the saddle and the bitch tried to pole vault out of the car
is auto mechanic a good career?
>>28684970I am sure that specialized mechanics, aircraft, hydraulics, heavy diesel etc all make more money than I do as a low level engineer. The work is solid and will always be there, but it seems like it would be hard on your body long term. I enjoy fixing my own shit boxes but I don't think I'd be cut out for shop work - I'm just not fast enough.Also are we posting butts in jeans? I'll post mine too
>>28714858Would bore and stroke that
>>28714987Do you know how to work a stick?
Alright what pussy reported the thread and got all the pictures taken down?

Autopolis is the prettiest track of the bunch, Okayama second, Fuji third, the others are easier to get to.
you may only choose one, which one are you going for?
>>28712681Because these cars are actually econoboxes. An OEM headlight assembly in a modern Toyota is over a grand, easy. Nothing economical about it.
>>28715169For me its the Pinto.
>>28711306This one.
>>287113064CV, twice as good as a 2CV
>>28711306I'll take the Hitler car, please.
Toyota is reliabl-ACK! >MUH CARS MADE IN JAPAN ARE FIN-ACK!!!!Oh look, the GX and LX are bricking themselves too, straight outta Japan, so all you blind Toyota cultists can finally shut your drooling traps about “muh American workers bad.” Your sacred rice gods still churn out exploding trash, cope harder, fanbois.
>>28707628TESLA RECALLED BILLION CARS!!! THEY HAD TO CHANGE THEIR FONT SIZE
>removing tried-and-true V8s for turbo V6's to move 2.5 tons of truck>surprised they all ACK themselves

>>28710784You're retarded and have no idea of the history of Toyota Wars. Cope and Seethe. No one in Africa is doing Korean trucks and China has nothing of value that works in war environments.

>turbofan wheels on a 90's luxury sedan How riced would this be?
>>28715572http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/5/E34Style 2s? BMW historically used similar "bottlecap" wheels on a bunch of their models.
>>28715659No not that either. They're probably aftermarket I guess. They looked like an actual jet turbine, little blades around the a flat section kind of like those but they looked like little airfoils not just spokes.
>>28715666Something like Speedline Maracanas? No idea if they ever made these in 5x120 though.
>>28715674Yeah that's a lot closer, just different offset (they had some dish). They were probably 17 or 18 inch
>>28713968They look good
Porsche is a soulless and massively overrated brand for boomers to think they are "luxurious". It is just Oliver Garden. No different than McLaren

>>28714437>Plastered on the front of essentially a rebadged MondeoThe S Type used the same platform as the Lincoln LS, it's nothing like a mondeo.They continued using the platform (with a lot of reworking) for the first gen XF.
>>28713205the matrix reloaded
>>28714226>No one really thought the S-Type looked bad from the back. It was the front that was atrocious. Literally looks like a rat's buck teethDepends on the spec, the S-Type R looks much better with the mesh grill and bumpers
>>28715284Still looks really awful, it's like a chink knock off Mercedes
take me back
Any idea what car this interior is from?
>>28715549Could be a Suzuki Vitara, or a different Jap car.
>>28715549mini cooper
>>28715552I think so
