whats up guys...been a minute since ive posted, ive decided not to get another da and my friend's gonna help me out with a long awaited "fixing" of all the stuff wrong with my car. im probably gonna pick up some tokico blues and springs for it... anyone have this set up? or have a pic of a da lowered about 1.5" or close?

i cant wait to get them... my roads are too damn rough to ride so low anymore... i hate biting my teeth everytime my struts bottom out.. its just not practical.

 

man I went to the motor trend auto show in baltimore last night and the vendors were not all there. it was kind of wack, but I also went to the dc show as well and there were alot more cars, but I understand the weather held alot of stuff up. there were 2 cars that were after market, built by the rim source and I thought they were kind of ricey, but my girl loved them. I took these pictures from another site because I forgot my camera. what do you think of this benz and R8?

 

If both of them were all white they would look a million times better. Those painted highlighted parts look like ***

 

herb, you ever going to put that b16 head on?

 

Me too Herbs!!!

 

Dp

 

yea thats what I thought about those cars, all white would be awesome.

 

I don't even know if i want to use it or not . For now i need a paintjob more then anything. It sucks that my car is **** slow but once i'm happy with how it looks then i'll do motor work. Plus i need to finish the suspension. If i was rich everything would be easy


Nice, i didn't even know you were doing this amount of work to the teg.

 

yeah dude.. car is stripped bare.. i figured until i do this ill never be happy with it..

 

How hard was is to pull the dash? That's my next step but i don't want to break anything pulling it out.

 

if you dont rush it and pay attention.. its seriously easy.. its only like 6 bolts and it comes right out

 

man i cant get over this picture lol

 

+1

take off the steering wheel too to pull put the dash easier and loosen the two bolts that holds the steering column..

 

not trying to offend anyone but man that seriously looks terrible.

 

It looks like alot of time was spent doing that but to me it's way overdone. I don't like the way the rad support is done.

 

it basically just looks like he covered up every single hole lol. Maybe over done, but you have to admit, its really clean work

 

Herb what are you doing with your car?

X2 I hate seeing nice cars done wrong like that

Yup, this pic is old, forget who's car this is.



Anyway, think I may try to get my throttle sticking issue under wraps this week. Guessing its the TB or the TPS, not exactly sure. May pull a TB, TPS and throttle cable from the junkyard to see.
Kinda hyped to buy new parts.
Although it sucks because between my bonus and tax return I just saw an extra 3k but put it all in my savings

 

Yeah lots of time was put into that bay and its clean but I think its over done to...to smooth looking

 

I think most of it looks great. i dont like the color matched intake manifold, or the hood pins, but everything else looks great. I'm not sure what you think looks bad about it. I've never heard of anything being "too" smooth.

 

Alright, I need to rebuild this turbo to get things rolling again. Just not sure where to send it to get balanced, anyone have any ideas?
I know that if I am careful while rebuilding it I don't "need" to balance it but I'd rather be safe then sorry!

JJ, Herb, or Andy, ever been to Chestnut Hill? Took my girl there to this restaurant Saturday, pretty nice place for bars and restaurants.

 

Finishing the wire tuck and getting the bay and door jams ready for paint. Gonna relocate the alarm and redo the stereo wires and add extra wires for the hard drive. A couple of other thing to. lol trying to get some **** done with the car finally and trying to make it nice. The teg is starting to fall apart

 

nope, never been man

not sure where to tell you to send the turbo to get balanced... what brand is it? maybe just send it to them and have them do it?

 

Yeah i live less then 15 minutes away from chestnut hill. What place did you eat at? Nice area but the cobblestone road sucks in the teg

 

If you think it's falling apart, give the suspension a rebuild by replacing everything. Mine is feeling very very nice after all the suspension work I've done.

 

brice hayden approves? has hell frozen over?
