Hahaha your funny I will NOT be driving it in winter!! I will just be able to put the car on stands an get the rims powder coated or get new ones!! I will just run on those rims for now as is. Plus driving a WHITE car in winter probably is not a very good idea!!

Nice pick on the speakers i have a similar Alpine set and they sound nice. Your cars going to drive like a brand new car after everything is done! I'm very jealous .

Well I havent made an update in a long time. Have been stupid busy lately that I haven't even had much time to work on the car but it's sloooooooowly coming along! Haven't really done anything major so I will let the pictures tell you what I have done!

I was hoping to have it on the road by August 5th(to drive it on my birthday) but life got in the way.... well 3 jobs got in the way! I do have to say "All work an no play, is making me go nuttier than squirrel s---!!!" plus my wife wants me to spend time with her!! To top it all off helping family with their car problems in what little available time I have left!!!
But whatever I'm still takin my time an doing it right! Like not settling for H&R springs an paying alittle more to get Eibachs hehehe(my birthday present to myself!)!! I just don't want to rush it now an half a-- things when I am so close to the finish line! So hopefully in the next few weeks I can get some work done on the car an maybe be able to drive it before the seasons over!

Looking good Tav! Was taht just stock suspension yoru car had before? I think you told me but I forgot....haha. And that's really cool that Grimmspeed has the signature of who exactly packaged your container, never knew they did that.

yeah it was just a stock setup he had before that was obviously old lol. My MBC was packed by alex =D

kinda sucks you didn't finish it when you wanted to but your completely right, it would be a waste of your time to just half a-- it and finish it now.

Got a few little presents in the mail yesterday!!

The good an the ugly!!
Test fit!!
So pretty!!

Then got my strut bars all installed an my front struts put together.


Got the corksport brake lines too so I can finally get all my brakes installed an bleed out!!

Also got a oil cap for strictly aesthetics!!

It gives it a nice touch compared to the stock one.

Still working on the intercooler piping! Just got the welder hooked up in which I had to wait for a friend of mine to wire my garage to support the welder!!
Soon it will hopefully see the road!!

very clean! nice

Mmm the new divorced wastegate downpipe is very nice, keep up the good work

ERRMAHGERD GURRTERERRD!!!!! downpipe looks great bud!

The CS down pipe is very nice. I loved mine, nice work

very nice.....

did you dip that valve cover yourself, or get it done somewhere

I got it done at a place in BC it was $125 for the dipping an paint of the letters!! I did have to pay for the shipping there which was $30 if that.

ahh okay. ive been looking in to doin it myself. doesnt seem too difficult

Well that's f---in lovely!! Got the tires taken off my rims an 2 of them have cracks in them!! f---!!! Heres the kicker. The rims are some no name rims that came with the car, so they are not worth getting repaired!!! So I am now on the hunt for new rims an at this point with this stupid car I am not settling on rims!! It just sucks cause I wasn't planning on this an it a piss off that this whole car has been a complete lemon since I bought it!!
I am looking for ideas for 17s so if people can post different types of rims that would be helpful in my search!!
