Which kit to put on...

[predator]

Don't like the bar of the vertex for some reason.

Widebody looks awesome.. but the costs?? you'll need to get the rears welded in, and then the whole car resprayed wouldn't you? Or am I missing something?

Also, don't forget, in that shot thats about 1mm off the ground like many jap cars. Looks great like that, but try picturing it 10cm or so off the ground. Might look funny. Even if you lowered it to 0cm clearance , just imagine trying to actually drive it anywhere -- wouldn't last long before you killed it on a drivethrough or whatever. The practicalities just dont seem so good.

and being in VIC... cops soo love lowered cars there of course.

How hard do you drive?

If u visit the track often that whole mass of fiberglass that comes with that widebody kit is going to be a huge liability....i'd imagine you having to patch things up every now and then

IMHO i like the vertex kit, very clean and nice...but if your car was that low as in the pics....theres a very good chance you will clip the front bar if you spin out on the tracks....

Have u seen how often bits of bodykit fall off the D1 cars when they spin out?

I don't really like either of them... wide body looks sweet, but the skirts and rear bar look crap... I don't really like the 1st front bar either... looks too clean...

but that's just me.

Funky, go the first one, the other one dosen't look at tidy as the other one...

[dAVE]

is that kit made by vertex - i thought godfather was the brand, not the model...

btw, 1st kit for sure... 2nd doesnt look very clean.

Shan... BN Sports wins by a mile, the vertex is good... but everyone will have one soon coz it seems easy to recreate.

also the bn widebody looks phat... u can keep the rims for a while.. and then get some good ones when u get some more money.. it'll just look a little bit weird..

hehe

The Vertex. Aggressive, clean, without being over the top like the second one.

LW.

dave, spot on with godfather... its actually a cross between a vertex and a west kit, i like calling it the vertex kit coz well... it looks like one. only diff is in the angle of the rear bumper to mudgurad section and also the nose of the front bumper.

As for tracks... hehe its a GTS... nuff said When I convert it to an RB20DET (or maybe even RB25DET or RB20/26DET hybrid engine, all depending on how much I have left over) I won't be taking it to the tracks for driftwork, if anything it'll only be to check out my 1/4 mile times.

I am concerned about the look of the car without the smaller clearance, but in my photochops it still looks OK. As for paintwork and fitting, its all covered by insurance claim (hence why it plays a major role in my criteria). Oh well I've bought both of em, I might even fit em both on, see how they look and then decide.

Oh and I have plans to modify the BN sports kit as well... make it a lil more meaner (like with exagerated wheel arches and instead of the rear being so curvy at the top (which looks ugly imho) make it more like an S15 look at the back.

One thing that bugs me is that my car's a limited edition, and anything I do to it just takes away from that... ahh well...

[dAVE]

limted edition ? Boxhead's GTS was a limited edition too i think.. cant remember what one tho..

Anyway, go for the godfather kit.. soo much better.. I reckon their kit for the 33 is the best tho

[paulr33]

first kit for sure
