ed_423

I'm flattered that I came across your mind in one of men's most precious alone time.

Ed doesn't have any of men's precious alone times, cuz he shares that precious time with other men.

MrOtocinclus

^ What is that, a Dominion TSX? Looks like a Founder is driving it...

ed_423

LOL yeah defcon, ima powdercoat mine to that color


FYI anyone who's interested in my wheels pm me, im trying to sell them out :p have my eyes set on them forgestars.....

ed_423

the mail man dropped this in front of my house today

ed_423

a little update:

coils shall be installed in spring, i have too much school work now to find time.

also, my work emotion 11r's are pending sales at the moment. if sale is successful, then it will be time to save up for some rims again, if not, i'll rock them

MrOtocinclus

Young grasshopper, I shall bestow upon you a bit of knowledge known as delegation. You can work on your school work, and delegate the coil installation to someone else. If you leave those coils in the box until spring, they'll rot!

ssjoeboe9

waiting blows... just so you know

Ed
don´t wait
wanna see it dropped!

11r + drop will look REALLY good. I think thin,evenly spaced multi spokes look best on our cars. Like Advan rs/rz, ce28 kinda wheels. Congrats on the package. you will LOVE them..

Mr. NC

Nice.........rug you have there

tobwac

Congrats Ed
my EZ's are in the trunk sync the day i got them just in case if i unexpect decide to get them installed lol

ttk5

LOL tobwac!!

benben01

Don't be a Wuss Ed! Get them installed! Serioulsy, it should take no more than 2.5 hours if you have the right tools in place. You'll prolly spend more surfing for porn

ed_423

WHOA WHOA WHOA MAN!








porn is a very adequate way to relieve stress.

Ed, make a facebook post and just ask someone for help. i LITERALLY did mine in 1.5hours with a buddy. Our cars are easy to install. You take off the wheel, take off some screws and replace the suspension. Our rears are easy because the top screw of our suspension assembly is located conveniently in a little compartment when you fold down our seats. We didn't use a DIY guide or anything, just eyeballing it.

defconskylude

theres a bunch of shops in your area that can get them installed.

cant wait to see your drop

ed_423

a friend of mine with a tl-s DIY his offered to help me with mine. he had megans on his too, so i might take his offer on it

ima be a bit conservative with the drop initially, once i get some wheels on i'll see how low i wanna drop lol.

Terdbath

You gotta hurry up and put those coils on. If you know a friend that has done it before it will be an easy afternoon project for the two of you.

MrOtocinclus

Indeed, it's not like you have to compress springs or anything!

ed_423

haha i know, but its midterm weeks

i actually just found out you don't need compressors for coils i knew springs need compressors, but i didn't know coils DO NOT need them. i was talking to my friend if he has spring compressors and everything. he just laughed and said no wonder im not doing it by myself

defconskylude

i expect to see this installed by saturday evening or i will be extremely disappointed.

benben01

Ed, all you need are you basic hand tools (sockets, wrenches, hex bits, and breaker bar) along with a 2x4 or long sledge hammer handle to apply leverage on the rear suspension to get the OE struts out. It'e much safer and easier to handle than the traditional jack method.

ed_423

alright, wheels have been sold, time for some flush 19x9.5!!!

coils have not yet been installed


this is mainly an update about my ATLP grille gap.

as you all know, the ATLP grille has a pretty big gap between the hood and the top of the grille. i first "fixed" this by stuffing some foam weather strips there, but they didn't hold up that great against the wind at 80mph. so i took the rubber/silicon strip from the OEM grille and went to work

the rubber strip:


test fit:






i didn't know what method was best at securing that rubber strip onto the grille...i ran out of 3m tape and i was too lazy to go out and buy some, so i used some clear silicon adhesive to see if it'd work. im not sure if the rubber is really sticking on to the silicon or not, but i'll drive with that for now and see what happens later on.

after securing the rubber strip, i realize there is still a slight gap above the rubber strip, partly because the grille isnt pushed up enough. so here is where the weather strip comes in play









final product






in the end, you can still tell there is a gap...but the point of the rubber strip + my weather strip is to minimize the "hallow" gap (since the strips are black/gray, and my car is gray, it makes the gap seems smaller.) and also it can prevent water from getting into my engine bay.

sorry for the iphone pics, but i hope this helps with anyone who purchased the ATLP grille or wants to buy one. and of course, im open to any suggestions. if you have a better method, please let me know

i promise my next update will be coil install

tobwac

looks a lot better now the gap was huge haha
you wont be disappointed with this coils

ssjoeboe9

Just think of it as a little more cold air cooling off your engine bay!

PyroDave

i think the gap would bug me, ALOT
