    There is a lot of words I could say about that car. Hell, I could probably write a book.

    But, I'll just summarize it with these.

    rebuking the stance ways is the best thing i have ever done... suspension travel is so glorious! hahah




    i've done quite a bit of little stuff to the car lately, i'll just jump right into it.

    i recently bought a new bike since i've been lazy and eating all winter long. it's badass and it's got a little bit of a motorsport vibe to the color scheme. i love it. i then grabbed a yakima rack and old school bike holders from a good friend for an amazing price.























    i also bought a vintage yakima 43" fairing off ebay and it needs some slight refurb work, hoping to have it on later this week. this thing will NOT get sticker bombed. i'm not a damn hipster :|









    i then started to work on my koni/ground control front dampers since my GC bastard kit was too short and gave me 1" of rake. i sand blasted and prepped the tubes at iron freaks shop and he welded up the perch holders. then they got a good coat of bright red and clear. i also installed my 25mm IE front bar from the track car. it doesn't need it any time soon ;)



















    ride height is mostly dialed in.. i might need to raise the front up a tad once i get them settled. i really want to corner weigh the car but don't know anyone with a set of scales. the car needs an alignment bad but man i love how it feels....





















    i am also thinking of grabbing a set of euro bumpers, euro valance & fog deletes for this car waaaay sooner than i had imagined.. this car has convinced me to spend the money..

    What paint did you use to shadowline the window trim? I've googled and everywhere the answers are different....
    sand it with 180 grit
    hit it with a red scuff pad
    wipe off with a prep solution
    spray self etch primer
    spray normal primer
    spray SEM 39143





    I was swamped with exams this week so I didn't get much done :( hopefully get some garage time in this weekend.

    I sold a bunch of random parts and worked on IronFreaks body harness though.

    i worked out a deal/trade with diego so what i paid isn't a true representation of what it costs.. iirc retail without SI board would be around $170.




    shadowlined the driver side & installed one of ironfreaks pop out seals today. man it looks so much better than the oxidized crappy chrome. i'm either gonna keep the door molding chrome or plastidip it so it can be removed later, i think the chrome there will go well with euro bumpers [and it's still in good condition]
