This Is Randomness(and my build thread, I swear).

Here we go...

What was currently installed on the car when I bought it almost a year ago:

Engine:
-Dinan 93 octane chip
-Full magnaflow exhaust w/ highflow cat
-Ram Air Intake

Chassis:
-Masson Strut bar
-Front and rear anti-roll bars
-Bilstein shocks
-H&R sport springs(189lbs/ in. all around)
Interior:
-AutoMeter tach
-Corbeau SG1 seats(mismatched for the ultimate style)
-Schroth harness's
-Ugly plaid shift and hand brake boot

Exterior/ Wheels & Tires:
-Borbet Type C's(16x7.5)
-Toyo Extenza's(205/50R16)
-Hella fog's
-Number sticker
-Huge dent from a tree :D





After a couple weeks of doing nothing, finally ripped the interior out and got some new suspension! Ground Control coilover conversion kit, adj. ride height(400lbs/in. front, 700lbs/in. rear).


Front:

Rear:


Next stop! took the bumpstops out of the front shocks, and and took the height adj off the front(lowered the front another 1/2 inch):






Then finally got my new wheels and tires on after a night of grinding the calipers, rolling the fenders and countless test fits(pics are from today though):









Horrible, huh?

Well since then I got my front struts shortened, installed adjustable Koni shocks all around, gutted the rest of the interior, rolled an pulled fenders, painted engine bits purple, repainted new rear bumper after drift crash and lots of other things I can't think of:







Then I did some more stuff...

Painted rear spoiler black:



Made ghetto-ass speaker box, complete with sub and amp:




Did some trendy shit with my console delete panel:


New (free)steering wheel:


Took these:


To finally make room in the fender wells:



Still rubs(oh well)...



Said bumper:


And took the Hella's off again:


They'll be more progress soon. So keep posted. Or don't. I'd feel quite special if some people left nice messages here, I'll probably cry If people don't think my car isn't trendy :(

Thanks!

I like the wheels, reminiscent of "vette" to me. Car color is the best. The speak is the bomb, and your headlight wants to come home, lol

[Killacortes]

damn that is a helluvah ghetto ass speaker box! you should probably sell me those hella lights and brackets :D

[Cronopoulos]

Neat!

Thanks guys. and haha, I REALLY want to get them working again, my lights suck :(

You should run those lights without covers and use them. I will be doing the same in the near future.

I'd love to as I've said, I think I need a new wiring harness for them though, seems to be shot. Thats why I took them off, not really useful if they don't work haha.

That car is beat to hell and back...

I do like the lights...and the wind deflector thingy.

Yeah, should be looking better once I get a new valance and get that dent out. Those 2 things were shitted before I bought it.

For all the shit-talking I do re: stretched tires and ghetto mods, I like this car. Helps that it's an M42 car. Sucks about the quarter panel, but I feel like it almost adds character.

Oh yeah, good choice in tires. Don't bitch out when it comes back to getting new ones.

Suggestions:
1. ditch the tach. If the factory one doesn't work, replace your SI batteries.
2. get ellipsoids or smileys. Leave the high beam in.
3. maybe an IS lip. Not a huge deal though.

a. post less, PLEASE
b. those tires are huge

[grippymonkey]

a. post less, PLEASE

seriously man you make a thread twice a week

and like wh33lhop said... sucks about the 1/4 but it doesn't make the car look terrible (some of the other things kinda look bad though)

the fitment of the wheels in the last pic is looking good!

[CrusherCurtis]

That speaker box is not ghetto. This is ghetto:

I can't agree with you there.
