Choose my Dad's Grandis Chariot GDI kit!

[eddieturner2002]

My dad is looking to start modding his 99' Grandis Chariot GDI (Space Wagon GDI) and he first of all wanted me to look around for kits, springs and dampers. I have found these 5 kits, what one do you think looks best? Use the poll if ya could please.

Also if you dont like one front bumper or something along those lines, what mixture would you use?

I like the Damd outfit best. Fairly clean. Get the dampers/springs package first, though.

Yeah, he has been looking for them since he bought the car, but until recently he didn't know the car was called a Grandis Chariot outside of Europe so he couldnt find anything in Japan. The ride at the moment is really soft and sway-ey. Going around open 90 degree corners at 60 odd mph, you can really start some four wheel drifts going. But anyway he's just looking for some stiffening and he's found that Modern Garage do springs for it (45 lower on front and 40 on back) and the dampers.

On the kit topic, i would go for the Gialla Sportivo front and back splitters but i don't like the side skirts for it, the Modern Garage ones in my mind look good.

I like the Gialla Platinum kit. It looks more "VIP", as opposed to the sportier look of the other ones, and I think a simpler, sleeker, kit suits the car better.

Found a few more kits, kinda nice.

Chargespeed Wayout kit.

Route Service Kit

Yeah, I like the Damd kit also.

Try and avoid kits that involve sticking bits of plastic over the lights - I mean, is your Dad 19?

We think alike, my favourites were the Damd, Gialla Sportivo and the Modern Garage kits anway. And if my dad was 19 he would of gave birth to me at the age of 5 so i don't think thats quite possible.

Oh yeah, congratulations on becomming one. 👍

Cool.

I see from your location that you've probably had plenty of exposure to "Ned-spec" Corsas etc, so you know exactly what I'm talking about!

Thanks for the congrats.

Yes I think i've been exposed to too many ricer-ray's bouncing off of super shiny decals and hideous paint jobs. I think English young-adult ricers should be slapped round the a$$ and told to get their act together, they're a disgrace to the country. Even down a road on the outskirts of my town, there's a guy who owns an R-33, a Supra, an MR2 and something else i can't remember. The sad thing is they all have spoilers that reach the top floor of his house and body kits that have more curves than the Nurburgring. Okay I might be exaggerating a bit but I think everybody gets the basic idea i'm trying to get across.

At least the spoiler has some effect on all those cars as the Supra and MR2 are FR and the Skyline is 4WD. I'll shut up and crawl back to my hole now.

The MR2 is actually mid-engined by the way. But yeah I see your point but spoilers 3 feet high just look dumb.

Gialla Sportivo and the Modern Garage Mods look tite IMO

Damd

Reminds me of an Evo VI.
