man.... put them shocks on tonite. i'll upload pics in the am, i'm ****ing tired. but, my front left makes a hell of a wierd sound. i mean, it seems to be working, but when you push down on the hood, it makes an almost metal on metal sound. bushing going bad or something? anyone got any insight on the issue? i'd appreciate it.
had it not already been 2:30 in the morning, we'd have just pulled it back in the shop and gave it a once over, but we were f*cking BEAT!! if nothing else, i'll check it out when you come out on monday

yeah, but man that **** pisses me off though. i'll go look at it this afternoon when i get motervated. i don't have any pics of the complete install, but here's the front on. oh, and i said before that the springs are eibach. well, they aren't. they are dropzones, my bad. one kinda says it, the rest of the spring is rusty, lol.

no, i sold them. i read that they would work, but when i measured them, they were about 1 1/4 too large. or i would have loved to use those. that would be the ultimate ride for the price. i guess for now, i can live with my dropzone springs. the car rides smooth now. as for a steering wheel, i like the stock one better than any of the aftermarket ones. except for the old school mugen wooden one. but, thats a little out of my budget, lol.

Interesting, I always thought about doing a ebay project also. But, I was only thinking about exterior and interior parts never anything that has to do with engine.Ebay turbos and performace parts always seems too risky for me but, gl with the build.

today the car started to knock on a cold start up. so, you guys might get to enjoy a rebuild in the future. i'll be sure to take tons of pictures when i'm doing it.

i'm not buying all my parts there, lol. just 95% of them. i want a decent running reliable car when i'm done. but, i see no need to spend top dollar on everything. my whole life i got hand me downs, why change now! its more of a budget build i guess. a low, low, low budget build. lol.
