Rain Rain, Go away, so I can take pics of my drop today...

 

^ OMG, do want to see..

as for me...



Just throwing that up there. Should finish in about an hour or so.

 

chris your coils are on? better be low! i want a pic!

 

fucking rain, i thought it was summer.

 

I repainted the black part on mine flat black not too long ago. Just re-blacking the black parts on a 97 grill. Looks way better than faded as it was.

 

yeah...mine was really faded, plus it had a bunch of spots on it. i left the chrome and everything, and it looks soooo much better. ill get a few pics up tomorrow, if its not raining.

 

Front passenger is TOO low, needs to come up a bit to drive it, I don't even think I could put a ww lip on right now, I dragged the hell out of the wind screen turning the car around in the street.

Sitting in the ack in the garage right now Hello from blackack land

 

Got these done tonight, also tried to remove old license plate frame but that shit is rusted to the screws

 

Battery Bling

Installed the CT battery tie and new honda oem battery tiedowns




Threw the 2nd gen battery box back on




I messed up the m on the .com on this side, so I removed .com from both sides, I like it

 

Little teaser

 

Looks like you could use some air in that tire, Chris...

 

Yeah I know my buddy pointed that out as well

 

niceeee.

your about to shit, but i just found some used tein ss-p's for 500 BONES!


the project im currently working on is coming up with it despite tuition, and just signed a lease for my house.

 

I hate you

 

i dunno how you did that, must have been dumped way too far, then again all i hear is when my mudflaps scrape, i can't hear that windscreen scrape at all.
and i still don't hear when i rub the tires on the wheel wells, which is a real problem
can you post a pic of your front an rear coils without the wheels on, if you have any pics like that. i just wanna see how high/low you have them.
did you turn the one right under the spring to compress the spring at all? cuz i think that's what i might have to do soon.

 

I didn't compress the spring, they're preloaded, that's what I did on my omnis and they rode like shit. I got these from outlaw and the rears were way high and the fronts were dumped. I had to lower the rears and raise the fronts. The easiest way to adjust them is jack up that end, take the top bolts out of the top, and screw it by the bottom of the coil to adjust the height. I dragged the windscreen cuz it wasn't bolted up all the way when i moved the car. When I had my omnis, I destroyed my mudflaps

Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow morning/afternoon so I can pull her out, scrape her on the driveway and see how level she's sitting, my goddamn garage has all kinds of weird dips and angles

 

brake light came on the other day...everything worked fine, and looked fine...but since im going to VA/NC next week i didnt take any chances...took her in the shop this morning.

 

My abs light comes on after about 30min of driving and stays on until you shut if off again, been that way since I've owned it, pretty lame

 

oh ok then, cuz on mine it seems like the back are a little different if they are preloaded.
when i lower mine i just move the 2nd ring from the bottom upwards by turning it with the tools, then turn the whole spring and shock assembly either with the tools or by hand if i can, and lower it untill that 2nd ring from the bottom tightens itself with the bottom ring.
this way there is no bolts to remove, hopefully it's the right way, as my bro told me to do it like that, and he's had his fare share of coils before.
and the reason i think the sides are different, cuz one side seems to spin the spring and not the whole shck assembly sometimes, meaning the spring isn't as tight in there, and on the other side, the spring never moves without the whole assembly moving.
i might have to compress the spring more in the front anyways tho, as i don't want to destroy my tires so quickly, and i don't really wanna raise it up a whole bunch either
thanks for the info tho Chris

 

We tried that, but since these are used, they don't turn so good, it's easier to drop the top bolts and loosen the bottom and just screw up or down.

 

I am in the process of painting my EB guys. Wanted to know if you have any good 3.0 cl pics with different 2 tones so I can get some ideas..Theres alot of 2nd and 3rd gen EB painted but its hard to compare color scheme with our plastics. I am painting it blue with metalic flake but I dont want to paint all the plastics. I want to 2 tone with black as well. Any pics or suggestions? My wired are NGK Blue to soo I dont wanna over kill with color! Ill post pics soon, just finished sanding, primer and ready for color!

 

I painted mine gloss black and my whole engine bay is a black theme so my pics wouldn't help you, there is a 2nd gen member with a TL that did a sick blue/black 2 tone, I'll see if i can find pics, jumpmanbasketball did a blue engine bay on a 3.0 also

 

Thanks Chris...By the way I'm Eric. Just finished up school at UCF and moved back down to my house in Lauderdale Fl. Look very forward to keeping in touch with all my projects and getting good advice from all of my fellow 3.0's. How do you post the pics? Sorry for a noob question but I went to attach a file and it ask me for the website first, do I have to upload them first? If you can find pics of the 3.0 cl EB painted please post, only found a couple so far...Wait till you see mine Chris, real clean for 97 and 161,000 miles!

 

I just painted my grille. I didn't take a before pic but the black was pretty faded. I went with semi-gloss black. Made a pretty big improvement for sure.



just after painting and putting back together (blurry pic I know)



On the car





From a distance


Also I recently did an led swap in my instrument cluster and the blue clock mod, pics to come sometime when I get around to it.

 

just washed and wax my car with my local azine buddy and high school friend, thedwongv1



things that are new...window visors, and azine stickers ftw

this is his car now, on racing hart c4s, i'm on racing hart c2s

 

Sick, makes me want white.

 

Raised the front coils 1/2" to level out the car, gonna leave it that height about 1.5 finger gap until I put the 18's on and the lips and then I'll see if I still make it out of the driveway or not, so far no scraping

 

Aww, that sucks. Scraping is the fun part, PimpCL will tell ya!

 

haha. my exhaust scrapes on dips and bumps and causes sparks to fly...

 

Nice, dude i'm loving the look... what are you drop on?
oh, those lights look good on your car

 

What would you know 4x4 boy? Last time I was low enough to scrape, I dragged frame and had to replace my radiator

 

Currently working on a few projects for the interior, should have pics within a week i hope

 

thanks! i'm on tein basic coilovers. Great comfy ride, a bit sporty too

 

as i was on 95 N heading back to jersey, a bird hit my windshield, and now there's an 8 inch crack on the top passenger side of the windshield. probably gonna get that fixed/replaced soon. also buying palayahata's TL shift knob and swapping out for more LEDs.

 

oh, nice i'm picking up some d2 before the all cali meet... u are going right?
can't wait to see your car...
