Rice Mat Trio - Skyline, Z, MR2

Sorry folks I'm getting bored stiff with all these contest entries, nobody has anything finished. So here goes: This is my first group shoot with my new camera. All three cars have been modded a little bit.



Skyline: New wing
350Z: New wing, 20-inch KMC SS rims
MR2 Spyder: Chopped the roof off, switched out the rims, painted the seats and interior trim, and removed the wing.

To see more click the sig then go to the bottom link in the gallery. Enjoy!

Re: Rice Mat Trio - Skyline, Z, MR2

is it me or does the 350z have driverside camber issues?

Overall a great looking set of cars.

Actually I think that the front wheels are camber slightly, but because of the camera angle, you can only see the passenger's side a little and the driver's side more. Look at the wing, notice how the roof is not the same amount of distance on each side of the wing? That is because the camera is on a slight angle

Fly is right, the front wheels do have a bit of camber but it's equal. That's one of the things I can spend several hours on: just getting the ride height and camber right.

I don't have any other plans for the MR2 or the Skyline right now but the Z is probably going to get a set of brakes and some interior detailing. I forgot to mention the Z now has an XS intercooler in the front and the grill has been replaced with a black mesh.

Hehe, I got you there Petet. Look at the rear wing of the R34. It's a dual plane aluminum wing, a little bit bigger than stock. I just used the same pinions because they're molded into the trunk of the Skyline.
