gold rims and nuts on a white supra

[Daazndood]

well, heres a picture of my exterior stock white supra exept for the rims.

Looks good! Maybe paint the silver under the headlight lenses gold too and stick a gold pinstripe down the side.

Looks great! Would look totally custom with the gold metallic decals from decals-r-us . They sell a kit for the supra (there is a photo of it on the header of the site) in Gold metallic that would look awsome on your car.

I apinted my rims white (on my white supra) it seems a little bit stoopid.....i know i know..... plese save the hysterical lafing and evil pointing until the end of the post.....but to tell you the truth the white rims look cool

You could try painting the sideskirts, bumpers, and nuts a different color - that'd tie the car together without it all being one solid color. Maybe some matching vinyl, or making that a third color by itself.

White on white doesn't sound too bad though.

That's sweet man! I like nice, clean, understated cars. What do you have under the "hood"?

I'm sorta new. What are the benifits of mixing and matching tires and springs (like you did) And what's a tie rod?

[Joey]

Handling characteristics - softer tires yield more grip, as I'm sure you knew, but it's easier to drive a certain way (say, drifting, or going through lots of sequential turns) if you car is set up to behave specifically the way you want. Even if that means that the rear should act differently than the front.

[food123]

so if you want oversteer then you'd want hard back tires?

[purfishy]

yes

[OverBoostSupra]

I put hardies in the back of my brothers skyline ( ginny pig car! ) it was uncontrolable. But it was fun drifint around. If your looking for nice tight controlled turns i dont recomend hard tires

[food123]

ok cool, but how does mixing springs help?

[Joey]

If you mean having a different stiffness on each end, it's the same meticulous tuning principle as the tires. If you're talking about the actual cutting and rebonding of different types of springs, it's so that you can adjust how they bound and rebound more directly. If you put (half) a set of soft springs on top of (half) a set of stiff ones, then the car will roll relatively easily in a turn to begin with, but once the soft springs' travel has reached its limit, the stiff springs will 'kick in' so to speak, and the body will hardly roll at all.

It's all about furthering the level of customization.

ok thanks
