Ok guys i was going to update my build thread but it seems as if it does not exist anymore. Well if you got to see it i was sandwiched in my fbp em1 back in June and insurance totaled the car. Loving em1's i decided to get another one but this time go a different route. Well i found a clean title one for dirt cheap that was in need of some loving. Since i bought back my old car, i switched out all the components from it into the new car.

Long story short a lot of work went into this car and majority of it was cleaning and switching out suspension parts from the wrecked car that were not damaged in the accident. My initial plans were to install 5 lug that i had laying around but then this deal came across me that i could not pass up.

I got the wheels in a trade for my complete 5 lug suspension minus wheels and $200 on my part. They wheels came with tires that were in good shape and for right now i am rocking gorilla lug nut until i install my extended studs and new rays lug nuts.

Now by no means am i a photographer and in fact the pictures were taken with a 6 mega pixel cannon camera. It was just a beautiful day and my car was in need of a good exterior cleaning. Please remember that when i got the car it was a mess and its in need of a complete re-spray but that wont be feasible until the summer of 09 since i am in school and the car is my daily driver.

Getting started





Once i was done. I live out in the middle of no where as you can tell. Makes me feel good about my car being safe.....lol...














This last one is just for fun!!!! Pictures of my neighbors cows.

looks kind of like the BMW bottlecaps now that they are fully polished

I'm a fan of full polished wheels, but for some reason, it doesn't look good on those CPRs

Clean EM1 though

TeeBoy

hate to be hateful, but I don't think the cprs fits the car that good. The car look very clean, and the rims are dope. But together their not that good imo.

elusivEm1

hey you got 2 threads..oh well..i also agree..i think maybe if they were 16s they'll look ill..but that just me

the plug goes to the winshield wiper fluid container. i took the whole system out since i hated using it. i guess i left the plug hanging or something. thanks for all the comments guys. i will be lowering the car another .5 in somtime in the next month.

Yeah I wanted 16's but they are hard to come by. Also I'm afraid of rubbing issues since I'm thinking of going lower
