    My turd of a vert

    Well last fall I picked up a car that seemed solid, turned out to be a little bit of a turd. Spent the winter fixing all the PO's mistakes and carlessness. Although not at 100% yet, I am happy with what I have accomplished.

    Rewired all the lighting, rebuilt european elipsoids with all new adjusters and hardware, Vimeo 4300k HID's, referbished oem foglights, new euro impact strips that dont have a million holes drilled in them, new amber turn signals, replaced carbon fiber emblems with new factory emblems, New chrome kidneys, new IS front lip, all interior door hardware replaced, rewired stereo, new brakes, lines, pads, new wheel bearings, tossed the yellow RS's for some RS212's, new front and rear center consoles, new seatbelt receptacles, new mtechII steering wheel, New ZHP shift knob, new wheel well liners, news top seals, new oem floor mats, new unmolested kickpanels the list goes on.

    Still need new coils as these are shot, replacement of all suspension components buchings etc, powersteering leak remedy, and a full gasket replacement on the 60k mile motor

    From this:


    To this:




    Yes I redrilled some beloved RS212's to 4x100, and I dont care if you think its a good idea or not. Fitment is spot on :D




    Mike

                Jim,

                Thanks! Yes. 17x8.5 et 13 all around. Lips were polished, centers and waffles were bead blasted and powdercoated after the redrill. Metal hubcentric rings pressed in to get to 57.1 polished quarter height hexes and new BBS black and gold logo caps :) doesnt rub anywhere, pleanty of room up front to go lower once I get some coils that's don't suck
