Current PROJECT you're working on
i don't see why you don't just bag it, i would if my car was a show car, or even just a summer car, but to each their own.
Oh and do you have any other info for me regarding the hella supertone install, i would like to try and complete it this weekend if i don't sleep the whole time

I could get you some info, sorry I've been busy working on the car.
Got the teins installed the height is a little high for my taste but I'll deal till I get the 18's on.

Daniel hooked me up with 2 front pillow mounts, still had the packing peanuts over the threads

Pillow mounts

Fronts installed

Front suspension with the Ingalls Balljoint Camber Kit

Started off with what the directions said and put the spring down to 1" clearance, that didn't last long because it was too low

My buddy workin the jack, and big man tryin to help out

Big man representin the acks

SS-P what? Can't wait to drive on these

Installed in the engine bay, strut brace is next, needs to be installed

Yep, 4th aftermarket setup, also will be the last one I buy hopefully. I just picked up a set of 18" tires for my rims, gonna have to wait a few weeks to put the tires/rims on because I need to get the car inspected before I pay to get tires mounted, etc. But it's comin sir

Finished my LED swap today
corners

passenger side, blue LEDs in the glove box and door

Cool white LEDs in the map lights

Glove box with blue LED

Finished up the gauges today, the 80mph area is a little discolored. thats something i'll fix another day. i did the blue clock mod a while back, and with the gauges the goddamn clock looks green again!

Cool white dome light

Cool white license plate lights

Enjoy!

^ Blue interior light looks super dim. Love everything else though! License plate leds are one of my fav led swaps. Gauge looks pretty nice too! What leds did you use for your corners?
thanks man, i love how it all came out. i used a 5 LED SMT tower for the corners, they were $8.99 at autolumination. a little expensive, yes, but theyre bright as fuck.
I remounted my fog lights today. Same spot just much better mounting job. welded some 1/4 plate onto the OEM bracket to stiffen it up and then welded a tab on to mount more securely to the back of the bumper behind the turn signal.
i'll take pics when i change the foglight bulbs. still looking for a cheap 3000K h3 hid kit.

Ughh.... I still have an extra set of headlights, upside down projectors, and a D2S hid kit sitting in my garage... I don't know when I'll be able to get time from college to redo the retrofit. Thinking about just selling the extra set of headlights and D2S hid kit.
That's my progress..haha

Drove my CL to work today for the first time in a year, teins rode great, need to adjust the height a bit, but only scraped in the driveway, and made it into the parking garage no problem

i think mine cost me about 80-90 bucks, with taxes, shipping and everything. and the h3's are the same price i believe
unless you're looking for cheaper than that...
I have so much shit to do.
-Figure out what the hell is wrong be it
- ball joints
- steering rack
- tie rods
- Get my stock muffler put back on because i'm getting so annoyed
-find something to get my CEL shut off.
I need one of you from another state to buy me an o2 simulator for our cars then ship it to me (obviously I'd cover all costs) but its illegal to buy an o2 sim in MA, and ebay people won't even ship to me.
anybody who wants to help, please do!

DONT waste money on an o2 sim...buy two spark plug defoulers, drill one out, connect them and use it as a spacer for your rear o2 sensor. Or you can just order a machined one off ebay. Its a mechanical fix so theres no wires or anything to mess with.
My next project is fixing whatever the hell went wrong with my tranny. It wont shift into gear at all. It better not be the stage 2 Competition Clutches clutch i got, I NEVER peel out or ride the clutch so it better be the flywheel bolts coming loose on my 8lb flywheel, which has happened to other people with these flywheels before.
