my solution to having a lowered car and steep driveway

[SKAVENGERx707]

Sickkk

[caliniscool]

@SKAVENGERx707 Thanks you, sir!

[aceasarsalad]

that's how ya gotta do it :)

[BimMERick]

Awesome idea mate

[caliniscool]

@BimMERick Thank you! :D

[JoseEVOix]

Goo lowerrrr:D

[caliniscool]

@JoseEVOix I would if I still had the car. I sold it about 2 years ago.

[caliniscool]

@recheveste31 Why what? Sorry I don't know which comment you're replying to lol

[recheveste31]

@caliniscool Why did you sell your car ? :( Financial problems ? Car ? became a family man? Took an arrow to the knee ? lol

[caliniscool]

@recheveste31 Fellow redditor??? I sold it because the engine was burning a lot of oil, unfortunately :(. It was a pretty common issue for '06 manual transmission models. If it wasn't for that, I would have definitely kept it.

[axelreil]

@caliniscool What do you have now?

[caliniscool]

@axelreil Something totally different. A 2012 Fiat 500.

[KmAlbum]

great. now just gotta screw those into the concrete.

[caliniscool]

@KmAlbum That would just be straight up ghetto...

[slyboots2345]

nice car. Nevertheless, it's a solution to a problem that should never have existed.

[caliniscool]

@slyboots2345 Thanks. Although you see it as a problem, it really isn't. I was perfectly aware of the consequences when I lowered the car. I know it's not worth the trouble to everyone, but it was to me :)

[450teamsuzuki]

i wish i wasn't too tall to own a z..they are pretty fun

[caliniscool]

@450teamsuzuki lol that sucks. How tall are you? I know a few pretty tall people who drive Z's.

[450teamsuzuki]

@caliniscool 6'5"..I test drove one at my nissan dealer and it was a good time but i felt like a clown with my knees half way up the steering wheel

[jrlegend23]

Z all the way. very nice Z.

[caliniscool]

@jrlegend23 Thank you! :D

[djrixii]

Love the rims! :)

[caliniscool]

@djrixii Thank you! :D

[lbanezjs1000]

what you could've also done was put one larger overarching plank so it fills that whole gap... nomsayin?

[caliniscool]

@lbanezjs1000 In order not to scrape my front bumper, that piece would have had to be about 3x6 feet with a few supporting planks under it. It would have taken a small army of midgets to get in and out of the garage every time I left or came home.

[rickypretty54]

He's not even fuhkn low-___v

[1991fordexplorer]

lol

[Nexumbiker110]

very nice!

[caliniscool]

@Nexumbiker110 thank you! :)

[xIAmKid2Nicex]

That is such a smart idea

[Tunknatar]

@xIAmKid2Nicex how is it smart!? its more like common sense!

[ShawnSubaru]

Damn your Z looks nice as FUCK!

[caliniscool]

@ShawnSubaru Thank you, sir!

[ShawnSubaru]

@caliniscool no prob man. Good job on keeping it clean and tasteful, plenty dudes here in miami get z's and don't know a thing about being an enthusiast. They think they're hot shit cuz it was in tokyo drift. Take it easy bro

[caliniscool]

@ShawnSubaru lol trust me, there are plenty of those guys around Cali too. They'll buy a beat up, salvaged title Z and think they're ballers. But thanks, man!! I appreciate it

[ShawnSubaru]

@caliniscool fa sho man.

[pinoykid13]

So do you leave the pieces of wood there when you leave? or do you get out of your car and put them in your garage, or put them in your car?

[caliniscool]

@pinoykid13 Well I sold this car a while back so I don't have to do this anymore. But I would always put the ramps back in the garage since the home owners association wouldn't allow me to leave them out.

[andrew1jl]

smart. nice ride.

[caliniscool]

@andrew1jl thanks a lot!!

[x3DD131OKST3Rx]

lawn more?loljk

[caliniscool]

@x3DD131OKST3Rx wut?

[quattroxxxman]

Smart :-)

Nice Nissan

[caliniscool]

@quattroxxxman thank you! :D

[clebervic]

Nice ride

[caliniscool]

@clebervic thanks a lot!! :D

[ReggaeDubSoundSystem]

40 people dont know how to use a hammer.

[caliniscool]

@ReggaeDubSoundSystem Or a saw. lol

[vegtablekid]

this nigga smart

[caliniscool]

@vegtablekid thanks nigga!

[nihonkokusai]

40 people have scratched their car lol

[caliniscool]

@nihonkokusai haha...that's probably what happened :D

[nihonkokusai]

@caliniscool I also have planks huge ones to get my R35 out of my garage.

[caliniscool]

@nihonkokusai You're a lucky man!! What year is it? My friend just got an '09 R35 a few weeks ago and the launch control on that thing is insane!!

[nihonkokusai]

@caliniscool JDM 07(US)  08 (Japan).

[caliniscool]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the positive (and even the not so positive) comments!! :D

[lote1234567891011]

umad pavement?

[caliniscool]

@lote1234567891011 Oh, it mad...

[lote1234567891011]

@caliniscool yep yep



[ani760li]

U should see the roads out here in NYC it's like driving through a battle field!!!

[caliniscool]

@ani760li I was actually in NYC about 6 months ago, and I agree with you. My friends and I walked mostly and took a few cabs, but seeing all the potholes and the way people drive around the city was definitely scary.

[jarjarlol]

I get 3 feet of snow 6 months out of the year, this is why I keep my 350z stock height.

[caliniscool]

@jarjarlol I live in California and get no snow at all. That is why I lowered my 350Z.

[jarjarlol]

@caliniscool can i move in with you please =-)))

[05briseno]

you should see my driveway

[caliniscool]

@05briseno What do you drive? Low?

[ShadoWRX08]

Finally, someone who has a lowered car that looks good instead of some slammed piece of shit!

[caliniscool]

@ShadoWRX08 Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it. I tried to modify the car without making it too extreme or lowering it to the point where I rip my bodykit off while driving.

[tommyTv29]

woooooaa i jizz to that car

[caliniscool]

@tommyTv29 Make sure you clean your mess before someone sees it!!

[Tarpa17]

love the car but you can afford a 350z and not afford to just fix your driveway? ;)

[caliniscool]

@Tarpa17 I've already answered that question a few times on here. I live in a condo, which means I live under the rules of the HOA (home owners association). Unfortunately they don't allow anyone to "fix" their driveway.

[ElMattador]

@caliniscool

Pretty sure they wouldn't be able to do much if you put a drainage pipe in the channel and then poured concrete over it to create a flat surface...

[caliniscool]

@ElMattador Have you ever had an HOA before? Basically everyone's driveway on the street needs to look exactly the same. So that wouldn't be allowed.

[ElMattador]

@caliniscool Nope, but I imagine that must suck just a little bit.

[caliniscool]

@ElMattador Well it doesn't suck anymore because I sold this car about a year and a half ago.

[ElMattador]

@caliniscool :(

[usernamelame]

nice vsxx's. They goes well on white cars. Lovin the stance.

[caliniscool]

@usernamelame Thanks a lot!! :D

[pedropistolas18]

sexy car 

[caliniscool]

@pedropistolas18 Thanks a lot!! :D

[LemonadeMouth100]

what kind of wood is that? i tried this, but it wasn't my body that was scrapping, it was the exhaust pipe , i need to get better wood maybe.

[caliniscool]

@LemonadeMouth100 Honestly I have no idea. I just went to Home Depot and picked up these 2x6's and then cut them to length. Good luck with your scraping problem!!

[LemonadeMouth100]

@caliniscool thanks a lot :D i'll let you know how it goes. like it sucks my car isn't even low compared to yours, but its just the stupid mid pipe that is scrapping on my car :'(

[caliniscool]

@LemonadeMouth100 That sucks, man. My mid pipe also scraped sometimes while going over speed bumps.

[audavid]

I tried that before too but got wash away by the rain =(



[caliniscool]

@audavid Well I didn't leave the wood there. I would always put it back in the garage after each use.

[butteryasswaffles]

MOAR LOW



[rizzkkk]

I'll be honest..I was kind of hoping those wood planks would break xD

[caliniscool]

@rizzkkk ok

[rizzkkk]

@caliniscool are those bbs rims?

[caliniscool]

@rizzkkk No, they're Work VS-XX's

[CASSINOx]

lol the corolla just chillin all innocently

[mickeym217]

Sick ride! What size were your rims?

[caliniscool]

@mickeym217 Thanks!! 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear

[snookas1]

I might have to make these. I'm not lowered at all, but my driveway is kind of steep. I'm scrapping at stock height unless I reverse at an angle. :(

[caliniscool]

@snookas1 I know the feeling, dude. My Z isn't really slammed either, but it's that stupid angled driveway that makes it a pain to get in or out of.

[eliwoohoo]

So... what happens when you come across a dip in the road when you are driving? Do you stop then take pieces of wood out to get across?

[caliniscool]

@eliwoohoo no, I could drive almost all dips without having to do that. It's just that the angle of that little driveway is so bad, that I can't get over it. It might be a little easier if I could angle the car into the garage, but since there's always another car in the garage, I don't have much room to take it at an angle. I couldn't drive over speedbumps, but most dips were no problem.

[vietdude1979]

@caliniscool  Why not install air suspension instead of coilovers? It is coilovers that you're riding on right?

[caliniscool]

@vietdude1979 For one, a decent air suspension costs about 3 times what coilovers cost, and I also don't believe that air suspension belongs on a sport car. It will just ruin that sport car handling. Air suspension is meant more for show or luxury cars. And yes, I had Stance coilovers in this video.

[HaCk3Erx]

BBS's



[caliniscool]

@HaCk3Erx Incorrect. Work VS-XX

[chesteroriginal]

nice car buddy!

[caliniscool]

@chesteroriginal Thanks a lot! :D

[suckaloli]

37 PEOPLE THAT CANT AFFORD WOOD TO DO THAT .

[caliniscool]

@drakeneyez Well in that case, it's pretty sad that you watched it. The only reason I put it on youtube is because one of my friends wanted to see it. I was going to take it down after that but saw that it got pretty popular and a lot of people seemed to like it, so I just left it up. Don't be mad, bro!

[sportsfan6776]

dude that toyota is sick too! get that stupid nissan out of the way! hehe sick car

[caliniscool]

@sportsfan6776 Oh, how original you are. Not like it hasn't been said a bunch of times already...

[08Whuddup]

freakin sick car.

[caliniscool]

@08Whuddup thanks man!

[Noahskaterat123]

OMG! ive been trying to find somebody with that carbon fiber rear bumper! whats the brand and model!???

[Thr33pladdy]

those wheels are sick

[caliniscool]

@Thr33pladdy thanks!

[clintaclark]

Oh sorry, no offense or anything, i'm very picky about wheels. I hate the wheels on my car. haha

[clintaclark]

cool car, stupid wheels

[caliniscool]

@clintaclark ok

[wowskaters]

@clintaclark stupid wheels? man they are like 2-3 grand! vs-xx all the way ;] i have them on my s14<3

[caliniscool]

@wowskaters I understand that everyone has their own taste in wheels, but for him to comment on people's videos saying they have stupid wheels is just internet-trolling haha. Haters gonna hate..... I love S14's by the way!!

[wtl1964]

i knew a guy that did that so i broke it with my jimmy

[caliniscool]

@wtl1964 cool story, bro.

[FarisFranco]

That Z is clean.

[caliniscool]

@FarisFranco thanks a lot :D

[caliniscool]

Any redditors here? upvote for you guys!

[Tobinnas]

thanks !!!!!!!!

[519Garage]

1x4 + 2x4 = no more scratched bumper

[AjuAdi1]

really awesome rims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caliniscool]

@AjuAdi1 thanks!!

[MRxLAGGER]

Its like watching Megan Fox parking herself in the garage. Can I fuck your car? :)

[zero83221]

i used to have my car lowered then i got tired of speed bumps and if you need to go to the store and cant go becuase of the driveway i raised my car back up.i got the same car as you and it still looks hella sweet at normal hright plus the suspension is better at that height.

[ilovejareni]

jeez sweet car dude!! plus nice idea to get it out without scratching it!!

i thought i was the only one who had to doit!! lol

[caliniscool]

@ilovejareni Thanks man!! I know it's a pain sometimes, but in my opinion it's worth it to have a lowered car and have to deal with this. lol

[dlock5050]

Would that be legal to leave there though? I imagine a street sweepr or someone to close to the curb drives by it, it would fuck things up for them.

[caliniscool]

@dlock5050 I live in a condo that's under HOA. There's no way the HOA would approve of me leaving them there.

[listarobin]

badass 350z=my dream!

[caliniscool]

@listarobin thanks man!!

[y9pema]

damn those works look good on the car!

[caliniscool]

@y9pema Thanks! The Work VS-XX wheels are some of my all time favorite wheels :D

[KkF00]

What a terrible driveway...

Nice looking Z though. Too bad its not the 370 ;)

[caliniscool]

@KkF00 Thanks! But I actually prefer the 350 over the 370.

[KkF00]

@caliniscool

I like the body style of the 350 better, but I like the light setup on the 370 (both headlights and taillights). We all have opinions though, which is why they make different cars ;)

[caliniscool]

@KkF00 Well said! :D

[caliniscool]

@KkF00 You have a pretty cool channel by the way. I subscribed to it.

[KkF00]

@caliniscool

Its pretty random junk I do but thanks :P

[caliniscool]

@KkF00 Well so is mine.

[Metalozedex]

That is hilariously genius, Great car man and great idea.

[MrNipsi]

i like ur car

[caliniscool]

@MrNipsi thanks!

[rafarocket]

so i dont get the stickers.... this NASCAR? you sponsored? you unbox your cold air intake and you take that sicker and pop it up on the window? looks kinda homosexual if you ask me.

[caliniscool]

@rafarocket If you don't like it, then don't put stickers on your own car. It's easy as that. Not everyone shares your opinion.

[charlietow]

scaping bad... to... no scraping... that's using your noodle! i have to drive my car on blocks just to get my jack under it... it might be a pain to have her low at times, but that's why we make it work!

[caliniscool]

@charlietow Amen, brotha!!! I also had to drive my car up on a few pieces of wood to get a jack underneath it lol.

[udedmario]

@caliniscool if you dont have one already, a low profile jack is a great investment, not to pricy and they save you a lot of the hassle with driving up on things to raise your car.

[caliniscool]

@udedmario I already sold the car, so I don't have to deal with that anymore. And I do have a low profile jack. The problem is that even the low profile jacks curve upward towards the end of the jack. So I couldn't get the jack far enough under the side of the car to reach the jack point without the jack hitting my sideskirt lol.

[iHsg16]

Kudos

[caliniscool]

@iHsg16 Thanks dude!!

[MrMiamiswaggz305]

nice forgiatos on the whip

[caliniscool]

@MrMiamiswaggz305 Wut? Are you referring to the wheels? They're Work VS-XX's.

[MrMiamiswaggz305]

@caliniscool

my bad it looks like a F for forgiatos but no doubt nice wheels

[caliniscool]

@MrMiamiswaggz305 No prob...thanks man!! :D

[webcambabes69]

if that car were a toyota supra those sticks would crush

[caliniscool]

@webcambabes69 uhhhh....ok.

[imdjpoptart]

worlds number one philosopher 

[Uplift91]

what's with the tags in this video? lol

[RomiiBoii]

@Uplift91 rebecca black, osama dead? really dude?

[JORDANstaysTRUE]

Really clean Z, why not just get it repaved a little less steep?

[caliniscool]

@JORDANstaysTRUE Thanks! The HOA (home owners association) would never allow that. But I already sold this car so I don't have to deal with the ramps anymore.

[LARSI0N]

people pay money to get a low bottom car then pay extra to fix its bottom everytime it got scratches. LOL money make people go dumb

[caliniscool]

@LARSI0N And others drink/smoke and destroy their body and then go to the hospital to get fixed up. I save my money by not drinking/smoking and spend it on modding. So what's your point? Everybody spends money on something that someone else finds pointless.

[GBOveRatEdGB]

@caliniscool totally agree. its what your into. if everyone respected eachothers likes the world would be less hateful

[LARSI0N]

@caliniscool that is why constructors love to build speed bumps

higher up then.. i dont think lowering your car makes it look any cooler
