friend's zenki G50 Q45

It appears that the front fender lips are pulled down and out, not rolled. It look like a very good job from the pics.

Re: friend's zenki G50 Q45

he did flip and pull his front fenders... he really needs to blend it in better to the remainder of the arch imo.. the Q's multi-faceted fender lips really do make fender processing a bit difficult. Suspension was just cut springs, but he's got air now, so ride height I think should be about an inch above that, and parked height will be about 3" below
oh yah, his front fenders are a great example of why 9.5" really should be the limit for front wheel width on stock-fendered G50s... his are 10s, and required that little flip, and still need some work (gonna make him some front arms to bring them in some, too)

Re: friend's zenki G50 Q45

wow. Definitely a good example of how fitment and stance can make an otherwise stock car look soooo nice.

Is the the same person selling their 10 and 11 VSXX on zilvia?

Re: friend's zenki G50 Q45

yup, i personally think he did a horrible job on the front fenders too... making something worse just to get a certain set of wheels to fit... best solution would be to just not run those wheels and get something else.
Oh yah, and I don't think he's the same guy that was selling the wheels on zilvia... i believe he did get from that guy though

Re: friend's zenki G50 Q45

Didn't want to start a new thread for this... but a little vidclip of something I've been working on... it's the same car. Not too enthused about the limited travel inherent in this particular air setup, since it's a motley conglomeration of JIC coilovers and universal air's bags... but it does help me design something for the G50 that will hopefully ultimately go about 1/2" higher, while resting about 1" lower.

because theres not a big hole in the middle for you to put it over a strut made by the other brands. Unless its custom.

Re: friend's zenki G50 Q45

Yup... universal air is the only company that has a readily-available (and trustworthy, unlike AIM) bag unit that fits over strut bodies. Not good for the G50 though... it has limited strut tower room, and the rears cant at an angle upon compression, further reducing clearance. I'm going to be experimenting with some custom smaller diameter bags soon, fit over short-stroke strut bodies... we'll see.
Those VSXXs are 10", +13mm f/11", +13mm r....
