whats up guys, it been a good while since i've been on here a few new cars on here, all look nice but like always macho and jimmy are killing it!! as well as mugen-k and sohc95vtec-t

well i sold my old del sol back in 07 and i've been regretting it ever since, i got an 02 eclipse v6, a swapped eg hatch and a new tC but none compared. EG came close though haha

Nope they wont have to use EG/DC suspension parts.
iirc they are too long.

Some one need Skunk2 Upper control arms for a sol/eg/dc? I dont need mine anymore. Great shape.

Fack. Will a CTR front swaybar bolt to the DC2 control arms?

I'll probably go with a leather wrap EG6 SiR-II wheel.

what size is the front CTR?

well the ITR/CTR rear sways are all interchangeable regardless of LCAs, but thats cause of the endlinks are "free" while the front are fixed...hmmmm

26mm.

My CTR sway has the free endlinks (like rear swaybars), do the DC2's use the fixed single bolt kind? I can just build those with parts from Tacoma Screw and Autozone.

really that big huh? i heard people saying em1 front ones are that big. i measured my itr and ended up being about 25.4 in diameter so maybe

nm...i'm wrong lol
i thought i knew what i was talking about since i messed with the front sway this past weekend...guess not so much

i unbolted my stock S one to swap out my ITR one but didn't feel like taking off the exhaust and was in a rush to get off the lift since a car needed to be dynoed so put it back on.

the endlinks aren't fixed and are free to rotate. i think lol
all i remember is when i had the ITR laying around i definitely remember the endlinks being free to rotate and had a "joint". while when taking the stock S one i think it was just a straight through bolt and nut since i remember needing to use a wrench on the top to keep it from rotating. then remember it was hard to line it back up through the LCA so thinking it was fixed. ya that is. my story and i'm sticking to it haha

anyways i think it will fit since its like the rear sway essentially

So the S has a front sway? Damn, that'll be a hella easy swap then. That gets done on Sunday too (possibly).

The non-symetrical lug holes would **** me off. I hate that kind of thing.

well it is symmetric like TE37s...but i'm thinking u mean non aligning? 4 lugs and 6 spokes? i guess u would never buy M7s or GT7s lol..

i guess i do agree like mf8s are 4 lug and mf10s being 5 lug so they all line up. but then there is the 4 lug mf10L which is the one exception.

Alright I'm almost there with getting my car back together...just waiting on the carbon fiber hood to be re-cleared and the trunk and the rear window surrounds that they messed up and have to redo (long story) and then my mud flaps and wet sanding and buffing. Anyway...here some pics....does it look like aviator gray yet? Still has a blueish tint but I like it in person....

Shaved dolphin front anyone? lol






Nice *** too minus trunk

What did they charge you to spray? You did all the prep yourself right?
