You've done a lot in a short period of time.
Good job with the DIY attitude...Keep it up man. :thumbsup: |
looking good. :thumbsup:
|
OMG teh blurriness is killing my eyes, get a tripod man! Or shoot in daylight.
From what i can make out i think your ride hight is just right. :thumbsup: in my book. i'm awaiting clear pics to give you the official car looks great stamp.:banned: minus the banned |
thanks a lot guys.
I did take some pictures in daylight, but the SD card messed up. It'll be a day or two before I post those pictures. I think I'll have a photoshoot w/ this car pretty soon. |
oh yeah, make sure you get some type of UV coating or cover for your headlights.. when you wet sand you remove all the UV protection then they'll turn even yellower.
|
sick work.............
|
YYYEEESSS!!! Love the ghetto fender rolling with the bat!! It works like a charm though!! Nice smoked ambers never thought of that. VHT nightshade is my friend :)
|
That exhaust is lined up nicely.

Wow, beautiful ride :thumbsup:. Nicely balanced with the wheels and drop. How about some tint?? The black paint, dark tint and those dark silver rims would really set that car off nicely, just my :2cents:.
One more thing, match that front tire up to the rest. You dont want to run different tires on different corners, my rule is always do two at a time and two of a kind. Especially on the drive wheels, tires can and do have different revs/mile and may heat and blow out. Last thing you would ever want for that slick whip. BTW, never liked those general exclaim tires, too freakin loud :annoyed:, the hard tread compound screams like a banshee and vibrates at high freqs. up through my firewall :whyme: and that is on stock suspension. Cheers |
Looks really clean man, nice fucking wheels.

Cheers the general tire should be out of there by next week and two new matching tires are coming in. The tires were used when i put them on. but it should have all 4 new tires w/ in a month.

HIDS went on today. They're suppose to be 10kK, but dont look like it.
will find out at night time. Factory on the passenger side and 10kK on the Driver side http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/100_2621.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/100_2622.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/100_2628.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/100_2629.jpg |

the tranny's been out for a month now.
the car's sitting at the shop w/ the tranny all opened up. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/IMG00045.jpg This is the clutch pack for third gear. The clutch disks were worn out to a point where the groves could barely stop a finger nail. All the rest of the clutch packs are fine, but i'm getting them repalced just to be on the safe side. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...S/IMG00046.jpg |
^ That looks like the nightmare I had last night!!

I regret not filling them up after repainting the trunk. But as of now, i'm planning to do black chrome A emblem and then put it on there.
