Gian's Scarlett Red 1.8 Cube

[Gian]

I felt like sharing my cube today. lol. sorry for the front height. this car is dailied over 20k the past year and i go into everywhere possible and impossible in the streets of socal. air to come soon though. thanks for looking!

After

ah so that's your cube I've been seeing around online.. specs on the wheels?

[D3stro]

Nice. The front seem to be a little too high compared to the rear.

[Gian]

DjBobble-really? Where? I see my car no where on the internet. Only these pics I've posted. Wheels are 16x7 +22 16x8 + 24 but they are 4x100 so I ended up needing adapters to put them on. The smallest adapter available was a 25 mil so what you see on the car is 16x7 -3 16x8 -1. I had them on the for sale section like a year and no one wanted them so I ended up putting them on the car. I love them. Diamond cut finish is a rare finish to come by in wheel sizes smaller than 18".

D3stro-the car is actually even in you look on the pic below. Its just the way most car'fender wells are. The fronts are usually bigger in the rear, so if you really pay attention to cars that are lowered and tucking wheel or tire, you'll see that if they both tuck the same amount of tire there's that rake look. But there's that occasional even car that has a raised front and a tucked rear tire or a tucked front tire and a tucked rear rim to make the car even with the floor. The reason my car looks like this is because I go over 4+inch speedbumps everyday and they are annoying to my passengers, mainly my mom since she doesn't drive. I would love to lower it on my coils but air is a more practical route for me to go right now.

Indeed, it's better with that last picture. Maybe it was with the angle of the previous pictures with the 16'' wheels that made it ''look'' tuck from the front.

For the explaination, I'm aware of this. It was just the way the picture were taken which was confusing on the lowering you got on your cube. Still a good looking drop, what are you lowered on?Coilover?

[Gian]

I was 2 inches lower before. (see pic 4) but I raised it due to stupid speedbumps. I'm on chomps special coilovers.

Through royal origin lol

[Gian]

Lol. A handful of royal origin guys are my buddies. Their cars are all stupid low

[Chompsticks]

Looks awesome!  I hope the coils worked great for you. 

[Gian]

Thanks man. They did work out. I ended up taking of the shorter spring after a month or so cause its uncomfortable for passengers I take on the daily basis.

A friend from royal origin got bored one night and hit me up cause he wanted to test out his new lens. Being it 2 o'clock in the morning the car was not prepped at all before the shoot and it rained that day so its pretty dirty. But anyway here's the link! Lots of progress still needed.

I envy you guys with ride height you all got and all that to the nice roads you got over there. It's ''do-able'' in Quebec but, at which cost.

Nice ride, I love it.

[Gian]

Thanks man. And trust me. The roads in so cal suck. my car looks SUPER high in pics and is high as well in person because I go over speedbumps and pyramid driveways everyday that what your see in these pics are daily driven height for sake of the cube. Even though I still scrape underbody still. The underbody is bad enough as is for a 2 year old car. That's why I'm switching to bags, I want more low ride for me, but raised for daily driving and passenger comfort purposes.

The cars you see on royal origin are mainly driver ridden only cars. That's why they are stupid low and they don't have to worry about passengers or going into downtown areas which I go wherever in my cube. If you see the latest post about the WFC meet,  my friend, who shot these pics had to go through 2 extra freeways to reach the meet cause the roads and freeways are horrible. Instead of taking 1 hour to get there it took him 2.

I'm pretty sure randy (meisrandy) can agree with the horrible roads in socal.

My wheels are currently of the car due to a inner bend that needs to be fixed.
