Danyutz Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Here's the last teaser. Starting to assemble them and hopefully on Saturday, will roll them.Color choice was matte black with glossy red. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 And they're on.I can't really say I had a "wow" factor when i saw it. Love how the wheels turned out, but the car needs much more work before it will look as i want it. Paint the drums, lower and spacers.

lowrider Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yeah, I kinda hate you right now.What color are you going for the drums? What about the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Quiet around here lately. Money goes into the apartment i recently bought. I finished my retro inspired fixie/single speed bike, tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Single speed makes a man out of you well depending on gearing and the amount of hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Luckily no hills! I'm riding a 46T/18T, that makes it 2.56 ratio.I bought something for the car, new Bosch wipers, normal, not blades.

mattarosa Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 oooh, ive been looking at aeros for a while but not got round to them yet.As for the bkie when I run single speed im currently running a 48T and 15T which gives a 3.2 ratio. Which is a bitch on the hills round here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Looking forward to seeing some pics with the Eibachs on! How much for the whole deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) They were 127euros (shipment included) from German ebay. Next up, i need to order shocks.I'm happy that it will lower the car a bit, but i'm more happy it will stiff the car, Loop has too much bodyroll. Also opted for Eibach because they were recommended as an upgrade, back in the day when you could buy the car as new.@Danny, haha, thanks - i would too, but the weather is poop! Already planning on building another one, with a sportier geometry frame. Edited June 6, 2014 by Danyutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyutz Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Productive day today. Did the calipers and drums, here's some before/after pics. They looked like the car was sitting on the bottom of a lake.Had this in mind since i bought the car, considering the lows are coming next week, it will look way better. Tip for Alex McK, didn't remove the lower valance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
