Got my Tein's on. :) but i also go more then i needed :( (25 pics) (fixed pics)

note: i did not drink durring the install, my bro and his friend drank for me

<U>FIXED THE PICS!!</U>

Hmm...i dont think that its going to fit on the jeep.

whats a spring compressor?

i think its kinda muddy

[IMG][/IMG]

at LEAST 30 WHP!!

it looks so at home doesnt it?

one beer to get the drivers side done

I wonder what that could be....

Why that 38" Super Swamper would look nice on a civic wouldnt it!

doesnt look too bad!

time to start drilling the passenger side...go for it bro

the drivers side went well!

since i have to replace that bushing and bolt....lets have some fun with the coilovers

Joe Dirteh!

Too Low!!

the next day i torqued down all the lugnuts, and made sure everything was tight. Then I took it for the initial drive. When 2 blocks down the road the drivers side wheel came off the tire 2-3 blocks down the road

When we got the car back on the wheel and tightened the lugs down again, i got 1-2 blocks down the road when it happened AGAIN!! Yes thats right my same wheel came off twice with in 20mins, on the same road.

I Got Owned!!!

this is what i rotor does to a wheel

that cant be good

bumper looks like crap so i might as well paint that while im at it.

better pic of wheel

$1800 to get everything fixed, get my bumper painted, and pain my hood.

Man, talk about shitty.

What the hell happened? Did you not torque the wheel down or were the studs stripped?

Where did you get the $1800 of damage from? I would look into replacing the fender youself (45 bucks) and then maybe a few hundered at best to get the fender painted and blended by a reputable shop.

Re: Got my Tein's on. :) but i also go more then i needed :( (FritzInTN)

the 1800 includes the fender replacement and painting
fixing small dent at front of door
repainting of my bumper
repainting of my hood (starting to chip like my bumper)
and the other little things that i personally couldnt see

i have been to this shop before, and they do top notch work, and i trust them with the quote. They person who gave me the estimate was also supprised at the final cost.

oh well, as long as it gets fixed i'm happy

I HATE when that happens. One thing goes wrong, then another, then another, then the next thing you know you're kicking your car's door in and yelling and screaming!@@!~@~!
