abzys RS

[abzy]

hey all, recently sold my 200sx and got this, nothing too flash but does the job, future plans just tidy the body up, tints, cooler, and some 19's (chromies)

92 RS liberty turbo
full 3" turbo back exhaust
pod
boost contoller
chip (tunded to run 18psi so i've been told)
os giken clutch
17" wrx rims

thats bout it really, small stereo..

not too sure what path a wanna head down with this car, not sure wether to keep going with the JDM tuner style or go back too the bling SEXSPEC style..

heres a few snaps.....

I like the look of the white rims on it.... But don't ever colour code teh strips if you're going to keep them, or the skirts. With those wheels that contrast is definately needed.

Looks clean, nice car.

[tomee]

looks nice and clean mate...

keep it that way

[abzy]

yeah thats what i thought, but then thought i'd paint em charcol till i can afford new rims.. all in good time, nice too be able to drive around in a car that doesn't attatract the cops everytime i go for a drive..

[timmo]

nice ride man,looks real tidy.

[smoov]

wow.

what a nice, neat ride abzy.

please keep it that way! Charcoal rims would look good (i'm biased). But keep the WRX 17's. They're a great rim.

keep us updated with progress!

[Mister Two]

looks very nice like that....

but for the love of god don't get 19 inch chromies.

[Marv]

That certainly looks like a nice, clean RS Turbo, which is something to be treasured these days.

I hope to God, Jeebus, Allah, Buddah, Satan, Eddie Vedder and 6 of the 9 arms of Vishnu that you don't go the "sexspec" look (you must be a member of Team GroundZero or JDMST, eh?). Light wheels, well-sorted suspension*, brake upgrade FTW.

*King Springs & cheap shocks don't count

[JESTER86]

very neat - great purchase! :D

my thoughts exactly

[Rallyeee]

Nice car abzy.

!9" chromies do more than just look great, they have higher rotational mass which means more momentum so the car can cut through the air more easily and the car is faster overall. Also the extremely low profile tyres have stuff all sidewall flex so are extremely good for handling, better than you'll ever get with a light weight rim and semi slicks. Also, their extra mass makes it easier on the shocks because gravity forces them to the ground so they won't skip over bumps as easily. As for braking, well it's rather technical but the chrome in the wheels has a high piezoelectric resistance which under stress (braking) creates a current through the rim, the magnetic field from this current inducts a static charge in the road surface which opposes the motion of the rim slowing the car at a rate which is difficult to match with any rim other than chrome.

yes but higher rotational mass means less acceleration! And you have forgotten that the static charge induced in the road surface from braking actuall heats up the brake rotor quicker and therefore brake fade happens quicker!
just don't brake for too long is what your saying ay Rallyee?

*sigh*

He's taking the p*ss, mate.

[RST-WRC]

Yep, so am I.

[abzy]

hahahaha yeah i'm part of teamgroundzero, and most other forums.. i take it ppl on this site aren't a big fan of chromies??? i can understand where yous are comin from.. but i'm only young and love the whole bling thing..

i just hope if i do go down that path ppl will respect my decsion and not ridicule me for it..

yeah i miss that thing so much, must move on though

[liberty_gx_junior]

really nice ride there mate! Well done!

[rs guy]

looks good man

but have fun keeping the rims clean :eek:

[abzy]

hahaha yeah they get brake dust on em pretty quick, pretty frustrating haha

[subliber]

tidy and clean.
keep teh rex 17s man,
maybe paint them gunmetal or shadow chrome if you want something diff.
very nice ride

[Asian]

Very Nice and tidy, looks so clean... reminds me of a virgin :) dont be worried about what other people think of bling, i like chrome, big wheels and flashy paint its all good.....do what you want to do and if people dont like tough :)

hey chris does that mean if i put my 20 inch chrome wheels back on i will like have the fully fastest and best stopping RS on the forums?? :) :) :) :)

maybe just dump it hard on the ground on the 17's, i reckon that would look hot.

tim.

[Sketchey]

Colour code the strips (cept the chrome) leave the skirts, and get the rims powder coated / sprayed a dark bronze / gold....would look hawt

[timmo]

if you want chrome then get chrome mate....easy as that.

don't base your decisions on what other people think.

some go for the lightweight rims on a sleeper type car with a more performance orientated attitude,others like the chrome and paint,blingy style.

They both have their place and look good in my opinion.

[Robbi]

should i post up a pic of the 200sx ?

[abzy]

thanks for the comments guys..
i'm colour coding everything and gettin rid of the spoiler, gunna keep the rex rims for awhile and lower the back a little more...

heres a pic of my 200, you should be able too see from this why i'm missin the sexpec look.. don't get me wrong love the RS just needs a few things done :D

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l247/abzy69/adam.jpg

[JESTER86]

that sure is sexy!! ;)

[abzy]

thanks man, not worth being in debt for though hahaha

[RSTurbo]

i reckon side by side the RS looks WAY better than the 200....

[abzy]

your not bein serious are you?? each to there own but the 200 was one of the sexist cars in town and most places... simple colour, nice rims and interior, pure sex..

[Jarrod|crzyrs|]

looking like she has been taken care of? how many kms on her?

[abzy]

not sure exactly when i sold it but around 70thou i think, washed it once or twice a week..

IMO it flys for whats done too it, good rear wheel fun!!!!

[dansun]

Awesome RS, keep it just how it is....except under the bonnet of course.

I'm not a big fan of the "All show, no go" theory and quite frankly love spanking little fellas with all their bling in my factory looking car (wheels, height and tiny flicker of alloy frount mount exempt).
The looks on their faces are prices.

[abzy]

i'm lookin too make this an all rounder, but i'm doing the exterior then engine..

i know what you mean, ppl always thought my old car was show and no go, but when i smashed em they didn't know what too say hahaha

the RS is a fair bit slower than the 200 but i was honestly shocked how good they go when you give them a bit of stick, ggod fun round corners too :D

[petsos]

why did you sell the 200??
pretty hot IMO :D

[abzy]

looking to buy a house end of this year so i sold it too pay off debts.. tryin to grow up a little hahaha

[XXXR]

Fark dude that 200 is hot!!

definitly show us a sex spec RS :D
