not sure what you ment in the first line? you mean if i cut it atleast there is some room for travel? and that i wont be able to go lower as the new gap will be used in spring travel?

in all honesty i dont care too much about this shell as i can get another one for less than a grand and put all my bits in that one, and make it look like what i want unlike this car. if it wasnt all painted already i would be welding new rear guards and would be running all factory bars with a lip, but because of these flairs that are on it i think it used to look funny with no body kit.
but its not as though im trying to missile it and smash it up.

i have not really looked into getting the diff shortened because im sure im looking at 500-1000 and i dont really think its worth it. for that money i could sell my wheels and buy new watanabes or meisters which would solve all my problems.

i am taking the car to brett (purple wide sr hachi) house to do some work on it very soon and im pretty sure he still has templates for his rear guards. so if it comes down to it i could cut them off and use the templates to weld new guards on. but then i have to paint it again...


in all honesty im sure it will stay as is until atleast i have the engine running and can see the finish line, then i can take it for a bit of a drive and see how we go.
the things you learn along the way i wish i knew when i had started... probably would have just bought one already done lol
