Cool, but can't say I'm too keen on the stripes

hot_hz

Blue200bsx

I'm not fully sold on the stripes either but i'll see how it goes, there sort of growing on me hahaha and you actually like the wheels??

57OMPA

dude keep the modgies on it and lower it

HOTSHOT

Looks fresh, very well done.

Only thing id change is the cannon.

Blue200bsx

Oh yes that cannon hahaha, yeah im going to change it soon when I weld up another exhaust but meh.

hot_hz

yeah i do hahah been hunting something like that lol

Blue200bsx

Are these rims actually popular? Are they worth anything?

hot_hz

not that popular i just like steelies lol

HarleyJace

Keep wheels, remove stripes, lower it, win!

57OMPA

dude the wheels are sought after by all old school rotary owners... very popular in nz... to get them over here is hard

Blue200bsx

"Get rid of said Stripes"??? Then what would separate me from the countless other Datto's going around??

Blue200bsx

I'd keep the wheels on but one has chrome peeling and some rust

KammdUP

agreed keep rims and get them refurbed and maybe even rebarrel them for some fat offset, very cool little car, i kinda like the stripes good luck with it mate

176OES

Looks great as it is.

Just needs a little more low and a little less cannon

Other than that, you've got yourself a very cool little car

What's with the holes in the bumper though ?

wheel repair ^^^

Looks sweet. Nice first car

Blue200bsx

There use to be rubber over riders that went there but the rubber has since perished and i've found it difficult to find replacements, so ill look at filling it with some chrome bolts and thanks for the comments guys it has been a lot of work. It has been tinted as well, I asked for the darkest legal tint obviously that isn't very dark and makes me wonder why I even bothered and with the 235's ( yeah I know way too big for a datto) currently on the back of this, it would make it impossible to lower so i'll either wait until these tyres wear or buy a new set of rims with tyres.

Would anyone know how much it would cost to get rims refurbed?

krayziebenno

that's awesome. love the colour.

Mustangchico24

haha dude i love it lol.. i recon paint the exhaust tip matt black and stick the fattests tyres you can on the back.... lol

Blue200bsx

Cheers mate, wouldn't mind getting some 11inch wide rims with some positive offset for the back to try out, it would look fucking insane hahaha and that cannon is making me look like the biggest tosser but quite surprisingly it does sound pretty good and I wouldn't want to go out and spend money on a new exhaust system for it only to sound worse but we'll see.

ratta tat tat

I like the stripes and the cannon is subtle, not hanging down or on a big 'drift angle, so i don't mind it.
Just needs some lowering blocks and 1.5 coils cut off the front springs lol
I think refurbing the rims would be a waste of money. Put the cash towards another set or paint em black. But lowering should be your first priority

ekvic

I like the stripes, they're tasteful and make the car a bit different

Ralli

Pretty clean for a 30+ year old Datto ... not a bad choice in first car , well done ...

BTW get rid of the track stripes ..

Deathmunky

car looks good, but hate the stripes
