2002 + s2000 = S2002 build

your car says, "Die little CV's!!! DIE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!"

I dont think I like the flares. I would have just ordered some fiberglass pig cheek style flares. That would have saved you a lot of time and looked WAY cleaner. Just my opinion.
I really dig the rest of the build though. Tits

In my opinion they look better in person. I would of loved the pig cheeks but my worry is that they wouldnt of fit the 255 17s. I havent see any 02 with 17 w/ pig cheeks. I also asked IE but there was a level of uncertainty and I didn't feel comfortable spending money on something that might not fit.

Thanks!

those flares just dont look right

The flares don't look right because it isn't painted yet. The thing is a little monster. Nice work.

[DER E30]

Can't wait to see it all done!

I find the fenders blend nicely with the overall silhouette of the 2002, if only there was a nice way to get ground effects around the bottom to fit. Wish you the best on getting her up and running right!

I think it needs a CSL style rear wing and front airdam.

heres a little butt shot

sorry for the crappy pic quality of this one.



CA tuned axles should be here today, i am also swapping out the current z3m hub for a z4 hub w/ e46 rotors and calipers. This will give me an extra -23mm each side so i can tuck the wheels and go lower. My oil pan will be close to the ground but hopefully i can just raise the engine with some spacers that i will fabricate.

getting alignment, the car feels so much better.

[Chinampa]

she looked great at autox ;) , i knew i had seen your car somewhere lol

[AWDBOB]

Your car hits me right in the feels

[knuklehead92]

The cars final alignment is
camber
-2.6 front
-2.5 rear
Toe 0 all around

I am going to buy IE offset spacers for more camber in the front. Also I want a better front coilovers and camber caster plates from Ground control for more adjustment

So far
IE offer stage 3 coil-over with race Koni insert, I think its 45mm? I think Andrew or Jeremy might correct me

VAC would be a custom JRZ setup 3 way

Ground control would be a 2 or 3 way Koni setup

I am also thinking about upping the spring rate to 400 rather than the 350 pound currently from IE using eibach springs

All these options require to send in my Tii struts.

The end game is this, hopefully.



heres a pic from auto x! Got a lot of compliments. The Car handled surprisingly well! Needs more camber in the front. and it get very twitchy as it struggles to gain traction out of an apex.

Why 0 toe in the rear? Sounds unstable.
