Sweet. I'm glad to see someone else who isn't scared to bake open their headlights themselves.

 

Hi people of acurazine. I haven't been on in over a year due to school, work, and disinterest. Which was why I stopped updating. I'm still lurking though spying on other people's builds and such. In the course of the year though, I've been getting a few parts here and there. Here's a list:
-3 piece SPC rear camber arms
-BC coilovers w/ swift upgrade 24k/14k
-Megan racing upper control arms (no hard knocks on our strut tower when slammed unlike the ingalls or spc ball joint!)
-Sold AG M550 wheels and bought AG M590 wheels! Just got them installed today and i'll be updating here first.
-Spirior tail lights
-Roof gloss black 3m vinyl
-Lower grille gloss black 3m vinyl
-2012 Honda grille
-rolled and pulled front fenders a bit more

That's really about it from the top of my head... If i have some more, i'll continue to update you guys.
Enjoy these for now!

 

damn.. car looks great. Your come-back post has more parts than my entire build thread Hope you decide to stay and continue updating us I wanna see more pics!

 

Oh pretty sure i saw your car on IG with the new wheels and tail lights

 

thanks man haha. I'll try to come on a little more often. :p

Yeah if anyone wants my instagram: tylrtrvn <---- Just gonna clean up the whip, drop a little more, and take some good quality pictures. Wheels are on and its really nothing like game changing... I just want everything in once piece before i show you guys LOL. <3

 

Here is a pic for now. Slightly tucking rims in the rears by literally about a mm. Wish I could get more low but the fronts won't allow me to because of turning radius... Scared of front bacon fenders. I may try and keep pulling the fronts. I don't know yet. I'll get more pics soon. (:

 

want those spirior tails...

 

Looks awesome dude! What are the specs on the new wheels?

 

Completely my opinion but if you aren't going to lower the front anymore, then you should raise the rear a little bit. It has that saggy pants look to it right now.

 

^ if you look at the skirts, they're parallel with the ground = looks awesome.

 

Possibly, but if they are like .5" off I bet it would be hard to see from that distance in the picture.

Even if it is parallel to the ground the tires still have different amounts of tuck which is what's causing the saggy look to my eyes.

 

19x9.5 +15 all around. Color is brushed antique bronze with metallic black cherry center caps.

Hahah yeah it does look funny a bit, but as of now it's what I can roll with without making the front fenders look so ugly and wide compared to the rears. Still deciding whether or not to pull the front fenders. \:
I would raise it... BUT I WANNA BE LOWER MAN. lol.

 

I recently got more into editing photos. Looked up some pretty cool tutorials haha. Unfortunately, this is at night so I couldn't really get what I wanted. Plus I only took one... Here's an okayyyyy picture.

 

Did they take a lot of work to fit? I'm asking because I have a set that is 19x9.5 +20 all around.


Btw that color is so sick!!!

 

yeah he rolled the front fenders, and at least mildly pulled them as well. I think it'd be impossible to fit 9.5 +15 with just rolled fenders up front at that height

 

Also forgot to ask what size tires you went with?! I bought the wheels with 225/30/19 General GMAX tires and I can't seem to find that tire in that size anywhere.

 

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with your pants on the ground!

 

Thanks man! But yeah like xtcnrice said, it's practically impossible to fit these at this height unless you want bacon served everyday. (; I bought the Megan Racing UCAs and ran about -3 camber to be able to turn.

For these wheel sizes, I went with 245/35 since it had the minimum load rating for our cars. I would stretch more like you but I didn't want to risk any potholes ruining my wheels.

 

Thanks for that info sir. I purchased the wheels with these tires already installed, so I didn't really have a choice when it came to tire size, lol. 2 are practically brand new and the other 2 need replacing, that's why I asked.. idk if staggered tires are safe though?

 

staggered tires are safe as long as they fit. The only problem i would worry about is the life of the tires on those 2 wheels lol. They'll be different if you get a different size or even a different brand but it will still drive. The life wouldn't be the same though.

 

Since I'm bored in class... I'll take a go at that photo lol

 

lol sweet. brightened up my shadows a bit. :P here's a quicker edit i just did. Before and after. Running -7 camber in the rear. gonna go max camber in the rear because its just not satisfying me at this point.... /:

not a fan of huge negative camber, but damn that tuck looks pretty amazing. What's not satisfying you exactly? hahah

man.. I need those tail lights! how much did they cost you, and from where?

 

haha thanks. Just the stance itself isn't very satisfying. The body doesn't seem low enough, but I think it's because our engine hangs pretty low. I want to go a little bit lower and emphasize the tucking. And more negative camber for the hell of it.

I got these tails from Oleg Sultan from Russia. Instagram is @hpt_ua. Really chill guy. I bought them for about $550 i think.. Can't quite remember but around that price range.

 

He quoted me $550 without shipping + $90 for Express shipping / +60 for Ground shipping.

 

Yes that sounds right. I paid for express shipping. And he's from Ukraine, not Russia haha. My mistake.

 

anymore pics? What color did you repaint the car?

 

Car looks sick , bro
