Lighting Upgrades.

[backtrail69]

I did a few Lighting upgrades and thought I would post up some shots from my cruise inbetween two storms today. I haven't driven the car in over a month and hasn't been washing in like 4 months.

Smoke Lamin-X (headlights)
MHW Turn Signals
Ebay Blacked out sidemarkers
Startec Tails.

I have a set of is skirts sitting in my garage that just came yesterday(37 dollars on ebay UK). WOOT! I am waiting to figure out a rear valance before those go on.

No engine shots? I like what i see so far, those slipstreams are the shit on delphin.

[dude8383]

wow, i love your car.

[backtrail69]

Here ya go.

Stock 199k mile m20b25 with a new HG and metric blue head bolts, t3/to4e turbo running 10 psi with a jon volk adapter, MS fuel management etc etc. Its still a work in progress. College doesn't promote spending money on my toys.

Absolutely titties. Let me ask you, how did you end up fitting your rear bumper? Was it difficult or did you pay someone to do it?

What suspension are you running? i love the stance...

What kind of power you putting out? any dyno results?


very noice

I cut the ends of the bumper off with a cutting wheel and then glassed the end pieces from the stock bumper surrounds on the ends to fill the void between the bumper and the body. It takes alot of time, but totally worth it.

I have Intrax springs donated by 4ce30, tokiko illumina struts, bilstein HD rears, sparco strut brace and e46 cabrio rear shock mounts.

I don't have a dyno. Will happen late spring when I get a clutch in the car. Estimating 250+ rwhp Easy.

Damn, your car is looking evil, and startec tails are the titties. Cant wait to see the dyno results.

That is such a baller picture. So simple and so badass looking. That's got to be the only pic of a plastic swapped early model with no rear apron that I ever liked.

[trashcop 80s 80s]

That looks awesome. The rear looks good from the side, but it needs some type of apron.

I am either going with a stock rear apron like Eurospeed and Trent or M-tech. My budget is leaning towards cutting one out of a car..

If you do it, get ready to spend the day with a sawzal and a pneumatic disc cutting tool. I'm not saying don't do it, but it's way more of a bitch than I'd imagined. You won't believe how much shit you have to cut out of there. You have to cut out all of the spare tire well, all of the battery tray shit, and any chunks of the frame that are left after you hack it off the car, and basically turn it into just a skirt.

[backtrail69]

Yea, I am fully aware of all that. I just need to find a 88+ that isnt rusted or hit in the rear that someone is parting out near here.

Lighting upgrade with Lamin-X? You meant downgrade, right? :) Car looks tits man, love the stance and rims (and motor).

I disagree, I actually think you should keep it exactly the way it is. It looks soooooooooooooo good. nicely done

We need a Just say no to Smoked LaminX Emoticon.

Car looks nice otherwise.
