Low n Slow, baby...
(OORP: Altezza was replaced to other modder, you may noticed different, and I forgot to add licensed plate.)



Woo! It paycheck day, I quit my job because it was underpaid business and joining my friend, her new tofu business, now I'm Tofu Delivery guy, I earn 470 V$ per Monday. Bunta would be happy. :))

I have TEIN Flex-Z coilover from Sleepy sent to me, quite quick the shipment then I was expecting it. Thanks, Sleepy for giving a good price for TEIN coilover, if you need TEIN coilover, give Sleepy message, he willing giving you a good discount. I want to affordable, and street/track set up because I don't have planned it or I don't have the experience, so grip set up is perfect. I'm thinking of Snow Queen as a street-legal track toy.

Why I choose grip set up, instead drift set up?
Like, I said I don't have the drifting experience, also street are wasn't design to drifting, and I want more grips, so Snow Queen can gripping around the corner, without suddenly losing grip or having tail-happy. Grip Coilover + Grip Tyres = Perfect.

I was removing all old struts, I was shocked enough because my rear spring was heavy corrosion, and front shock has slightly wept the oil. Glad, I replace it before the rear spring snapped, even worst is, the spring is snapped and damaged the tires. :O

I replaced all old strut to nice TEIN coilover, and I was very patiently to adjusting the setting as ride height, it should be about 35mm lower than factory height. Snow Queen has improved to the lower center of gravity, increased stability and improved grips, compared to the factory fitted strut. Fun fact: Old suspension parts likely softer than brand new suspensions part. I'm impressed with new coilover, give big shout out to Sleepy!



Next updated, it would be unlocking more power and dyno time! Time make BEAMS to roars. I was hoping to make around 250BHP mark, so wish me luck. :))
Here factory look engine bay before new power arrives. That may reason, I been a bit quiet lately.
