Update 9/18/2014
Sorry for the lack of updates I need to get my act together...
anyways this is whats happened in the pass few months.
-New Tires 215/40r17
-LED interior bulbs
-Clear front turn signals
-Euro grills
-e30 koni yellow adjustable rear shocks
-Installed HID 6k H1 for smileys
-Blew out my right side half shaft... NOT FUN:letitout:
-Replaced half shaft
-Installed HID 6K h3 bulbs in for fogs
-Stupid but the cluster passed 1234567...
-Installed GC front adjustable endlinks
-Dyed carpet black with vinyl spray paint (not a big fan but it worked)
-Then found rust all the way around my front windshield... a bunch of little -patches but all the way around it, needless to say it was all fix but still upset it happened.
- Finally got a suede headliner made (need to install.. don't want to take every window out again)
- Valve cover powder coated
-Smoked the smileys! (wish I would've done it sooner)
Installing tires are no fun, I'll go to a shop next time and have it done!
Then came the interior LED's, Love them. Next I have to do the trunk, glove box, and license plate lights! The photo does them no justice but they are much brighter then stock.
Scored some clear turn signals, cleaned up the front of the car so much wish i would've done it sooner.
Next are the euro grills, again I have no idea why I waited so long to do this...
painted
Installed, took the euro plate off not really sure if I liked it much?
Then these baby's showed up in the mail! brand new rear Koni yellow adjustable shocks!
Installed
Opps...
DAMN!
HID's for the smileys, led turn signals (never used them), led city light.
The Install.... It was different than I expected it to be, much easier then I anticipated.
everything installed and working!
the light output is much better but I wish I would've gone with 5K instead, I think 6k is just a little to blue for what I like.
Then while taking a conner at regular speed, no drifting, no speed, no nothing my axle took a crap on me... But my co-works and boss got me to think it was the diff, and it wasn't! softer taking the diff cover off and realizing it wasn't that I was much happier. Plus the new diff fluid helped out too
one hell of a night...
Then a few weeks later the HID kit for my fog lights came in! so I quickly installed those too :razz: They are also 6k
Then this happened!:roll eyes:
After realizing my end links were shot I went on the hunt for some GC adjustable end links and found some used ones off of a forum member on dimmer forums.
Installed
Got tired of seeing the original black dyed carpet not being black but burgundy, so I went ahead a tried the vinyl spray pain. Not a huge fan of it but the paint did a great job covering and staying on. The carpet is harder now but how often do you feel on your carpet?
These are all after the spray paint, crappy but you get the idea
OK this one still hurts me a little... after having the car back for about a year I noticed some rust starting to form around the windshield? :hitler: So my friend and I took the windshield out only to see this :letitout:
Theres a ton more little spots all around the windshield, I just pictured the worst. next was fixing it... not so much fun. All the primer spots were rust spots. No pictures of the finished product but I did manage to get everything installed and fitted.
So I got an opportunity to have a suede headliner made, so I jumped on the chance. I need to install it but I does look mighty fine.
After that I got together with a friend and start playing around with different powder combinations to powder coat the valve cover, lets just say ivory over pearl won. It's different but I like it a lot and hopefully I'll have a few other things done in the same color!
Where she stays for now
Finally this past weekend I found time to smoke out the smileys! Something that I wish I would've done along time ago too...
dissembled
all put back together
and Installed on the car
Thats it for now, I have a few things I'm buttoning up now and will hopefully have more updates soon!
