and finish(i think?) what I dream of one day I will be driving 7years ago.

Opinions welcome!

 

so did you buy the car or did you finish modding it? kind of confused by the thread title. but either way the car looks nice

 

I just finish modding it hahah, sorry about that.

I bought it stock back in 05, no kit no rims no nothing. I wanted to mod it at the time but other important things in my life was more important so I put the modding idea aside..

7years later a good friend of mine got me off my lazy ass and yea hahaha.

Im really happy with it and maybe thinkin about adding some honda visors and tint it a bit but not sure yet.

 

looks nice man! I figured thats what you meant but I just wanted to be sure haha. I know how it feels when life gets in the way it happens to everyone glad you found the time to get to what you enjoy and it worked itself out. But it would look even better with visors and I'm diggin the front end yo, nice work! and more pics obviously!

 

Fucking dirty

 

looks sick great job keep it clean

 

here ya go

Front view.


I will take more current pics when weathers good.
but for now, please enjoy... and sorry for the iphone quality.


After weeks of waiting for parts. The coilovers and lipkit finally arrived.

Right after work, I finally got time to start working on my car and the first thing I do is jack the car up and start installing the FFtype1 right out of box (no adjusting yet).


FFtype1 out of the box is wayy too low hahaha.



After 8hrs of work and working on the car for hours, fitting and adjusting the coil and height.. I got really tired and ended up with this look and drove it home that night..


Painted my lipkit the next morning and then started to put it all together and re-adjust the ride height at the same time..


and tadaa! hahaha


All this would of take me twice aslong if it weren't for my good friend helping me, so thanks you b if your reading this hahaha. Anyways..I'm going to drive for 2weeks to let the coilover settle and then straight to alignment she goes!.

 

Lookin fresh! The front end pic did it for me

 

i normally don't like black wheels but you pulled it off nicely

 

Looks great! Please post more pics of your car. How do you like the FF1, ride quality wise? I'm still torn between those and the tein street basis

 

moarrrrr low. these coils were made for slamming!

 

Should of left it that low... Looks good man. Really feeling the blacked out front end and headlights.

 

I bought the FFtype1 mainly for the price (im on a budget haha) and I read mixed reviews. As for the ride quality, I went from stock for 7years and then to ff so the ride to me feel really different, feel bumpy and I can feel every thing on the road hahahah. It might be close to stock once the ff1 settle in and I go for alignment?? But for now im not sure. As for ff1 or tein.. Alot of members here vote for Teins.. Unless you are on a budget like me, ff1 is fine.

If I were in my early 20s, single and no kids, I would slammed it hahah but I take the wifey and son out on weekend so I got to keep the ride as comfortable as possible hahah.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I will try to take more pictures and post them asap!

 

Some afternoon pics.

 

pulled off the black chrome grill pieces reallyyyy nicely, well done

 

Needs more low. But very fresh. How new is that paint on the car it looks like it just came out of the showroom.

 

Looks great! Needs to be a little lower tho. What kind of wheels are those?

 

Only new paint is the lipkit, the rest of the car is 7years old paint . Only thing I did is washed it, no polish no wax no nothing .

 

Kyowa Racing 228 gunmetal



Don't like gunmetal so decided to paint it black..

 

Clean car.

 

should paint those gold....mmmm would look killer

 

Nice ride bro...

 

Looks good, the front of the car looks great, I do love it.

I would go lower, you have plenty of room to go, oh and your ride quality is done with FF1 it wont come back.

 

keep up the good woork, car looks pretty dope....

 

The car is pretty clean, but gotta slam it. FF1 bad ride regardless, but bomb slam.

 

I would have left the wheels gunmetal.

Needs some tint.

 

LOL! I did the same thing installing my FF1 out of the box and yes it's slammed. I raised it up about 1.5" and it doesn't bounce around anymore. Still feel the little stuff, but compared to my previous set, much better. Like everyone else said, go lower!

 

How long have you had your ff1 for? and did you go to alignment right after?.
How's your ride? did you adjust the preload?

I have been driving for a week with ff1 on 1finger gap all around and I believe highest you can go with FF1 is 1.5finger gap. So far the ride is getting alittle less bumpy as I adjust the preload abit. I'm thinking about adjusting the height alittle bit more to my liking before I go alignment.

I understand that FF1 ride bad regardless and I want to go lower but the street around where I live is awful, contruction.. truck route and potholes everywhere

 

Nice, pretty clean but yeah I agree with flipster needs some tint.
